Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Thanks for the info Bruce and Duncan, I have heard so many horror stories, that sometimes you don't know what to believe...

And we don't " all know it causes problems for the kidneys " . This is not an absolute at all; danger to the kidneys arises if the wastes are in a concentrated state. Also, this can be minimised if some of your foods are high in antioxidant precursors, such as cold-processed whey. The kidneys are the second biggest users of the body's glutathione production so it can handle such toxins. So, " The Atkins diet, if mishandled, can cause problems to the kidneys " , would be a better way to word the warning. Try Brad Kings' FAT WARS approach; it's a metabolic control program rather than a diet, although a couple of examples are in his book. Here are four FAT WARS articles that sum it up nicely: http://zeek.ca/4u/topics.php?op=viewtopic&topic=9 regards, Duncan Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
