that's pretty interesting. i personally have never seen any studies showing atkins to be bad for you, i have seen indepent studies showing it improves your blood profile. i don't know if ketosis is bad for someone or not, i've heard it only is if you have bad kidneys to begin with. unfortunatly, there don't seem to be many unbiased sources on the subject as far as i've seen (not that i've looked too far!).
oh, i do think that atkins, or any diet, really isn't good long term. but i think that, in the long run, it's better to be on atkins for 6 months than 250+ lbs for life.
