[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1432893, member: 245335"] Couldn't tell if you were being serious or not. Would I be right in thinking that you are aware that an undertaker named William Banting who wrote a book entitled [I] [B]Letter on Corpulence Addressed to the Public[/B] [/I] as far back as 1863, basically advocating low carb diet. The diet had been recommended by Dr. William Harvey, a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons: an ear, nose and throat specialist. Dr. Harvey had recently returned from a symposium in Paris where he had heard Dr Claude Bernard, a renowned physiologist, talk of a new theory about the part the liver played in the disease of diabetes. A low carb diet had been recommended by Bernard as a way of treating people with diabetes. I found the story fascinating [URL]http://www.second-opinions.co.uk/banting.html#.WOY9zLgVv9w[/URL] and the story of Claude Bernard even more so because he went to Paris having written a play and was persuaded to become a medic. I'd never call the Atkins diet a fad diet and I'm beginning to wish I never Googled it. Classic case of the more you read the more confusing it all is. [/QUOTE]
