I can't read the article since I'm not a subscriber, but I find all the hype over low-carb diets to be trumpeting the obvious. Of course refined flour and sugar is bad for you. Crazy hippie vegetarians have been saying that since the sixties, but no one listened when it was just crazy hippies saying so. That doesn't mean that all carbohydrates are bad for you, nor does it mean that all other foods are automatically good.

If you willing to click through an ad you can read it. Many of them are amusing on their own.

Yeah, I know. As a matter of policy, I don't do that -- I figure I could spend the same amount of time reading a novel, and I wouldn't have to watch an ad in order to read the novel.

You SO want to be right! Getting _Doc Searls_ to vouch for you?? :D

Well I'm not loaning you a kidney when yours shrivel up in a decade.

LJ ATE MY POST!!!!

I can give you the rundown on what Kirsty knows about metabolism/human biochem as related to diet if you really want sometime. I know WAY too much abotu this stuff.

Suffice to say that I think Andy's kidneys a probably safe (unless I get peckish).
