Just out of curiosity, are there any websites showing the opposite to be the

truth.

Confusing, isn't it.......All's I know is that I first tried the raw food diet

around 15 years ago when I went to a Ray Kent Live Food Dinner at a local health

food store and after going on raw food, I went from being a blob of inertia to a

picture of energy and glowing health. It works for me........Betsy

Of course. I am sure Atkins has studies to back their product/plan up.

Atkins is about high fat, high protein, and low carbs. Unfortunately, with three

variables, it is impossibe to come to any conclusion ablout a single variable.

Great post mavalkyrie;

The propaganda about protein comes from the meat and dairy

industries, not from medical research. All vegetarian animals eat low

protein diets, including primates. Vegetarian animals have a longer

intestine than carnivores (vegetables take longer to digest than

meat) and a folded and chambered bowel designed to slow down

digestion to allow more absorption of nutrients. The dogs bowel, for

instance is a short smooth pipe. Dr. Ralph Bircher claims that a low-

protein diet has demonstrated that the body needs 10-20% less

oxygen and a 30% lower calorie-intake. This conserves

the resources of the body. High protein diets, on the

other hand, tend to accelerate the turnover of protein

in the body, put the cells into high activity, and

promote stress and premature aging. Cancer is

characterized by this rapid protein synthesis. " Intuitive

Eating; Humbart Santillo, N.D., Ph.D. Humbart goes

on to show how excess protein causes osteoporosis,

cancer (all tumors are pockets of protein that the body

is trying to get rid of), " Undigested protein must

be eliminated by the kidneys. This unnecessary work

stresses out the kidneys so much that gradually lesions

are developed and tissues begin to harden. In the

colon this excess protein-waste putrefies into toxic

substances called indols, skatols, and hydrogen sulfide,

etc. Some of these substances are reabsorbed into the

bloodstream and are eventually found in the urine, These

substances irritate the bladder and kidneys, and cause an

unnecessary loss of vital energy. " In spite of their short efficient

digestive system, carnivores sleep 20 hours per day, have little

stamina, and short life spans. A cheetah can run 90 miles per hour.

But if it doesn't make a kill, it can't hunt again until the

following day. It is estimated that an adult gorilla has the ability

to bench press 4000 pounds. The favorite food of the gorilla is wild

celery it is less than 1% (.66%) protein. Without a doubt the

strongest, most energetic and longest lived animals are raw vegans.

The meat and dairy industries are telling us that to build strong

bodies we need a lot of protein. The truth is just the opposite.
