AtkinsDietAlert.org is brought to you by the Physicians Committee for

Responsible Medicine, a leading advocate for preventive medicine,

especially good nutrition. PCRM has been speaking out about the dangers

of high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets since its founding in 1985.

Scientific studies show that low-carbohydrate diets raise cholesterol

levels in considerable number of individuals, sometimes to a dramatic

degree. These diets also typically accelerate calcium losses and have

led major health organizations to raise important questions about their

possible contribution to heart problems, kidney abnormalities,

osteoporosis, and other health problems.

Given the seriousness of these health risks, and

the strength of the scientific evidence currently available, PCRM hopes

this Web site will encourage people to be wary of high-protein diets

and to choose healthier options. PCRM is also concerned about possible

legal liability for doctors who prescribe these diets.
