Re: [biofuel] Resurgence of Atkins Diet
If ADM sells less as high carb. food, because people are on the Atkins diet, they will sell more chicken feed, so they win either way. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!

Re: [biofuel] Resurgence of Atkins Diet
Incidentally, I, and I assume many others who might more or less be fans of some resurgence of the diet, am not an unrestricted fan of the diet, as a diet for life. I just sort of like some of it, and I like some of the idea of it bringing about some long-overdue change in overall food total consumption and types of food consumption. I also like the fact that this guy (Atkins) went about his business despite the naysaying from the smuttily arrogant University Professors and such. Atkins kills ADM? A pleasant scenario... Well, maybe. http://www.westonaprice.org/caustic_comments/summer2003.html Caustic Commentary, Summer 2003 Atkins' Revenge The latest Consumer Expenditure Survey of the US Department of Labor indicates that Americans are buying fewer grain products and more meat, poultry, fish and eggs. Wheat consumption (mostly in the form of refined flour) in the US dropped 4 percent from 1997 to 2001 and the cereal industry is not happy. The Wheat Foods Council has launched an educational campaign at nutritionists and the medical community to counter these trends. Healthful grain-based foods have become the scapegoat for weight gain, when overeating and under-exercising are at issue, said Carol Pratt, a Kellogg nutrition and regulatory affairs expert and incoming chairwoman for Wheat Foods. The grain industry blames Dr. Atkins for declining sales, and rightly so, as several studies now lend credence to his low-carb diet for weight loss. I'm very much concerned, says Mark Dirkes, spokesman for Interstate Bakeries, maker of Wonder Bread. He [Atkins] has run a very effective campaign. That just can't be good for our industry. According to the wheat council, Americans who follow the Atkins diet increase their risk of health problems, including cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol kidney damage and some cancers (Reuters March 16, 2003).

[biofuel] Resurgence of Atkins Diet
I wonder of the resurgence of this diet, as covered by the media quite often these days, will lead to any consequences for biofuelers, or in other areas. A greater amount of household waste grease that biofuelers locally could help folks rid themselves of? Im also hopeful it will lead to problems for ADM, (but I'm not holding my breath). The diet is not only anti-carbohydrate, but will hopefully get folks specifically to look at this issue of how much high fructose corn syrup they've been ingesting. In so doing, maybe we will see a downturn in the business fortunes for this product. Years ago, when I first ran across Atkins, I had this thought. But the situation has tended to remind me of when I first ran across digital photography. the downturn for Kodak's film-based business seemed written on the wall... but it took a bit longer to develop than a few months. The analogy isn't perfect, or even good, but in any event, hopefully it will lead to a lessening of ingestion and production of High Fructose Corn Syrup (particularly as we see the US sugar lobby continue to protect its high prices. even as the high price of that sugar has historically been used as a partial justification for some industries turning to Fructose).

In a six-month trial, those on the low-carb, high-fat Atkins diet lost on average 18.5 pounds, compared to 9 pounds for those on a high-carb diet-the kind that has been promoted for years by the American Dietetic Association. Had the high-carb dieters won, the news would be splashed on the front pages of every major newspaper. Instead, the report was relegated to a side column in the Washington Post (10/29/02). Sally Squires, author of Lean Plate Club. a weekly column, reported the good news in a few sentences, followed by paragraphs of backpeddling-the Atkins diet could cause heart disease, constipation and nutritional deficiencies. We were surprised that women could adhere to it [the Atkins diet] as well as they did, said dietician Bonnie Brehm. I'm not sure that there is a take-home message from this study, except that there is more research needed. . . We by no means are recommending the Atkins diet from this one study. http://www.westonaprice.org/caustic_comments/fall2002.html Caustic Commentary, Fall 2002 BREAK THROUGH Food columnists have been abuzz since the publication of science writer Gary Taube's exposé in The New York Times Magazine, July 7, 2002. What if it's all been a big fat lie? he asks, and then proceeds to explain why the USDA-endorsed high-carb diet is more likely to make us fat (and diabetic) than a diet containing higher levels of fat. Many dieters wrote to the newspapers confirming that only the Atkins-type diet helped them lose weight and keep it off. Lowfat guru Dean Ornish got plenty of column space to sputter about the dire consequences of a high-fat diet, and prime time exposure on Oprah Winfrey's show to warn dieters about the Atkins regime. Oprah was polite but noncommittal. According to the tabloid Globe, August 6, 2002, Oprah's days of yo-yo dieting are over. She has come down to a reasonable weight of 174 pounds and is filled with joy. Her successful dieting approach? Eliminate the white stuff-potatoes, white rice, pasta, refined sugar, bread and salt. We don't agree that Oprah should eliminate salt, but we're glad that she
