Just when you think that low-carb has gotten a lot of new respect in the mainstream media, you get a whiff of the old garbage that used to be seen whenever there was an article about it. Before the new popularity of these plans caused much of t

Orange Juice Defamation

Wednesday, 21 January 2004 9:57 A GMT-05
It's been a good 11 or 12 years since I actually called New York City "home" so I haven't followed Bloomberg as a mayor. A recent piece by the 24-hour local news station NY1, however, just came to my attention. In the article, Bloomb

Food Industry Counts on Carbs
Sunday, 18 January 2004 2:46 P GMT-05
So, I have decided, at least for the moment, to try to post whatever articles I find in the media concerning low-carb and, if warrented, comment on them. Here's the first one, an article from the Minneapolis-St.Paul Start Tribune titled "Food i

What a cool little book this is! Although it’s only 53 pages, the information is so densely packed and insightful that it’s worth more that a lot of 300+ page books. It is from a series of books on evolutionary science and by a schola
