- oldmanjay 11y agoI'm trying to be charitable here, but I want to let you know that linking to sites that are basically giant collections of logical fallacies doesn't really make it seem like you have a strong argument. It may be interesting to note I have no stake in the low-carb game, in case you think you need to attack me on that front in response.
- noondip 11y agoPlease explain how they are logical fallacies. Most of the site's content is literal quotes from leading medical and science professionals. No stake in the low-carb game? You are kidding, right? Atkins is a for-profit, multi-million dollar corporation, akin to anyone else promoting a diet based on excessive animal product consumption.

That's odd, because this was written right on the front page: > In fact there does not seem to be a single major governmental or nonprofit medical, nutrition, or science-based organization in the world that supports the Atkins Diet. As a 2004 medical journal review concluded, the Atkins Diet "runs counter to all the current evidence-based dietary recommendations.

- noondip 11y agoNo? What do you suppose this is, then? http://www.atkinsfacts.org/printer_friendly.html#8 http://www.atkinsfacts.org/printer_friendly.html#8
- DrScump 11y agoI "suppose" it's a separate page that is not directed to by any of the footnote indicators or visible from the page with the footnote indicators.
