Fantastic article reprinted from the New York Times on diets and what's currently known about them.

...also, this article comes off as being fairly non-credible since it seems to buy into the whole "the reason so few nutrition experts will tell you that the Atkins diet does any good is that they're all on the payroll of the evil grain industry" conspiracy theory. If the evil grain industry really wanted to promote a diet that would make them lots of money, they'd promote a diet that mainly consisted of meat and other animal products, since they make far more money when their products are fed to animals who are then eaten by humans than when their products are directly eaten by humans.
