A new study has found that low fat diets are not the way to a healthy life style. The folks who are still hyping the low fat diet say that the ladies probably didn't really do low fat diets, that no men or children or even young women were studied. But the test showed that low fat diets do not stop strokes, heart attacks, or many cancers.

However, we would point out that our advice in the meantime has moved on, and that what we're now suggesting is that people be careful not to eat dangerous fats and to preferentially eat more favourable fats. In other words, avoid saturated fat, but not be so restrictive about polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat.

Articles like these really reinforce my decision to move away from Atkins and toward the South beach way of eating. A good fats and good carbs way of life! :joy:

Here are 3 more articles on the latest study.
