Очередная ложь распространяемая вегетерианцами.Lexx wrote:Ага, а то, что доктор Аткинс, когда умер, хрякнувшись о тротуар, был ТОЛСТЫМ, Вы умалчиваете. Его вес был 258 фунтов при 6 футов веса (BMI - 35). Он ведь по идее углеводы не уминал.
Was Atkins Overweight?
William Leith, an writer who interviewed him around the time of his cardiac arrest stated that "he looks to be just under 6 feet tall and around 200 lbs – not skinny, not thin, but definitely not fat." A report from Atkins Nutritionals states that he played tennis competitively and that his weight was frequently checked, and in the years before his death was below 195, and six feet tall. And a medical report at the time of his admission to the hospital, which was later made public by his widow, states that he was 195 lbs on admission to the hospital.
Atkins' Death
On April 8, 2003, at age 72, Dr. Atkins slipped on the ice while walking to work, hitting his head and causing bleeding around his brain. He lost consciousness on the way to the hospital, where he spent two weeks in intensive care. His body deteriorated rapidly and he suffered massive organ failure. During this time, his body apparently retained an enormous amount of fluid, and his weight at death was recorded at 258 pounds. His death certificate states that the cause of death was "blunt impact injury of head with epidural hematoma".
Following this, a Nebraska doctor known to be anti-Atkins, and associated with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, requested Dr. Atkins' medical records, which should not have been released, but which mistakenly were sent. The Medical Examiner's report had a hand-written note that Atkins had a history of myocardial infarction (heart attack), congestive heart failure, and hypertension (written "h/o MI, CHF, HTN"). The above Committee made much of this and began the rumor that Atkins had "died of his own diet". The misconceptions remain to this day.
The year following his death, his widow released a statement taking what she called "unscrupulous individuals" to task for spreading falsehoods about her husband.
Apparently, those individuals are still having a measure of success.

Человек в массе своей глуп и ленив, а тут приходите Вы и говорите: "Давай, браток, лопай свой бекон. Овощи - это так, фигня, а вот масло твои предки ели килограммами". Еще раз повторюсь, что дело в умеренности, а не вредности того или иного продукта. В конечном итоге комиссару, как и всем нам, хочется чувствовать себя хорошо, выглядеть хорошо, сильно не стареть и к тому же не отказываться от любимой колбасы и пива. Но его подход не работает на 100%, так же как он не работал у Аткинса иначе существовали бы более разумные доказательства, что он был, как огурчик. Я за умеренный подход в диете, а за что ратуете Вы?
