too much of anything has always been bad. pretty much.
pollan's simple quote summing up one of his books makes a lot of sense.
but i'll note that at least to the end, Atkins never did a 180. he DID tone the message down a little, but right up until shuffled off, he was quite uppity about it.
me? well, i personally don't need to eat 150 lbs of sugar a year, a number atkins promoted some 9 years ago? it's probably more than that now. that is a LOT of sugar. esp compared with 50, 100, 150, 200 years ago. most of it these days corn syrup.
some days i wonder what the world, esp the USA would be like if we eliminated tobacco and corn. oh my yes. perhaps a few others, but those two in PARTICULAR.
