Not only was Atkins ahead of the curve on Fructose, but many other ideas just now becoming mainstream. I haven't eaten foods with trans-fats for years because of Atkins. Only lately have others come to realize the detriments of trans-fats. By 2006, foods nutritional statements must list them, as they are the most deadly of artery clogging foods. Of course by then most companies will have eliminated them because people will realize its harmfull to consume, and avoid products containing them.
The medias portrayal of Atkins is criminal. If followed properly, you still eat carbs. You just choose them wisely. Aviod sugar, white flour, and starchy vegetables, while eating plenty of green veggies, nuts and berries. How can that be a bad thing? Too many people get caught up in the media hype without taking the time to understand the actual principals behind controlling carbs. Thats controlling, not eliminating.
