So then who is right, Samantha? Should we listen to Dr. Atkins who advocates
a low-carb diet, or should we listen to Dr. Pritiken who advocates a low-fat
diet? You might happen to agree with one of them, but aside from your
personal opinions as a lay-person, why should we not listen to the very
compelling arguments of the other?
It's better, I say, to forget both of them and rely instead on ~4 million
years of human evolution.
