British Government to investigate Atkins Diet
The Atkins Diet is coming under scrutiny from the British Government.
The popular diet has recently been criticised for being unhealthy. Critics say it can cause kidney disease, osteoporosis, and high cholesterol. A recent study also links the diet with the inability of some women to conceive.
I believe Atkins is a heart attack waiting to happen. Call me crazy, but I cannot imagine how that bacon wrapped breakfast sausage is better for you than a carrot.
The details are in the The Independent on Sunday with more from the Beeb (check the "See Also" links).
