The Atkins Foundation has an unethical relationship with
Smithfield, world's biggest pig abuser in Virginia and NC, a corporation
about which Senator Elizabeth Dole has been silent
Photo is of Alex Hershaft, PhD, concentration camp survivor
who has used his German reparations money to spread
universal nonviolence. Here he is in a sitin at Smithfield, reputed
to be the world's largest factory farm for pigs, a corporation
with an unhealthy relationship to Duke University and to the
Atkins Foundation. Duke and Atkins Foundation did not reveal to
the public that the latter was funding Duke's promotion of the Atkins
heartbuster diet.

VEGANS AND FRUITARIANS WEIGH LEAST MEATEATERS WEIGH THE MOST
Isocaloric (same number of calories in each group) studies done
by Mervyn Hardinge at Harvard indicated that 3 control groups
(vegans, dairy vegetarians, and nondairy vegetarians) given the same
number of calories daily had a 23 lb.differential after 3 months,
with vegans weighing 23 lbs. less than nonvegetarians and 12 lbs.
less than vegetarians. Fruitarians studied elsewhere weighed less
than vegans. Epidemiological studies of populations of billion or
more people (India and China) as well as those of Italy, Okinawa and
other countries indicate the less meat and more fruit and vegetables
the less obesity in the people.
Stanley Prusiner, discover of the prions of Mad Cow Disease and
Mervyn Hardinge both left Harvard, a university heavily invested
in slaughterhouse stocks, and a university which puts researchers
not promoting its stocks on back burners.

WHAT IS THE RISK OF MAD COW IN THE ATKINS DIET?
The CDC USDA NIH FDA have been protecting the multi trillion dollar
meat industry by deliberate misdiagnosing of Mad Cow in the US as
encephalitis, meningitis, Alzheimer's, Jakob Cruetzfeldt Disease,
stroke, tumor, food poisoning etc.

WHO HAS THE SHORTEST LIFE EXPECTANCY IN THE WORLD?
The Inuit of Alaska, Greenland, Iceland have the shortest life
expectancies in the world and have had for over 150 years. It is rare
for an Inuit male eating only animal protein and fat to live over the
late 50's. Conversely the longest life expectancies are in the
centenarian vegetarian tribes
(Villcabamba of Ecuador, Hunzas of Tibet, Azerbaijans of the
Caucusus, monasteries in India). (Source: National Geographic Jan 73)

THE ATKINS MEDIA FRAUD
The Atkins Foundation has published studies to justify its
claims. Those who reported the biased research did not mention it was
conducted by the Atkins Foundation. Clear Channel, heavily funded by
the meat, dairy and fish industries, has pressured its white male
talk show hosts
to go on the diet as free advertising for the animal flesh
industry. Duke University (which also receives Bill Gates money
with which it inflicts pain on primates) did not tell the public
that the Atkins Foundation had funded its study.

Atkins and the media hid from the public his obesity, and
the medical fraud continued as his death was blamed on a fall
on an icy sidewalk rather than on the cerebral stroke which
had precipitated the fall.
THE AMA HAS CONDEMNED THE ATKINS DIET
for many reasons including that it causes bleeding ulcers, food
poisoning, kidney dysfunction, cancer, heart disease, strokes.

ATKINS CAUSES IMPOTENCE
Physicians Michael Klaper, Neal Barnard, and many others have
written and lectured on the role of animal fat in clogging penile
arteries, blocking function, as well as the role of female hormones
in animal products in causing
prostate cancer.

THE PROTEIN LIE
Atkins and other pawns of the meat and animal products industries
like to say that carbohydrates turn to sugar. What they do not say is
that proteins also turn to sugar, but only after the body is
exhausted shearing the nitrogen
off of the protein and eliminating it as NH3 or urea. Carnivores have
5 times the kidney size per lb. that humans have.

TWO PREDECESSORS OF ATKINS PREDECEASED HIM
Adelle Davis, advocate of organ meats, frequent tv guest, died in
her 60's of a melanoma cancer. Dr Stillman, from whose work Dr Atkins
borrowed, died suddenly. His tv shows were cancelled.
INTESTINAL CANCER AND ATKINS
An African doctor said after many decades that it was his observation
that large volume of human waste equals small disease. Small waste
equals large disease. Humans are frugivorous or fruit eating.
Primates have the longest intestinal tracts in the world. Carnivores
have the shortest. Carnivores are built to get rid of putrefactive
(rotting) meat quickly. It remains in humans' intestinal tracts,
causing appendicities, food poisoning, constipation
and ultimately, intestinal cancer. Animal protein and fat when heated
form carcinogens such as methylcholanthrene and malanaldehyde.

ATKINS-GENERATED BLEEDING ULCERS CAN KILL
HCL, hydrochloric acid, from a great amount of flesh
has caused untold numbers of bleeding ulcers and some deaths.
ARTHRITIS PAIN AND THE ATKINS DIET
The uric acid or pre urine in the muscle cells of meat or animal
flesh is called trioxypurine. It is much stronger
than caffein which is dioxypurine. Both crystallize in needle shape
and gather around joints causing the pain
of arthritis. The Atkins diet accelerates this process.
According to the American Medical Association (AMA), purine-containing foods include:
* Beer, other alcoholic beverages.
* Anchovies, sardines in oil, fish roes, herring.
* Yeast.
* Organ meat (liver, kidneys, pancreas etc.)
* Meat extracts, consomme, gravies.
* Mushrooms, spinach, asparagus, cauliflower.
ADDICTION AND URIC ACID
Lawyers suing fast food chains have not yet used the addiction
argument. Trioxypurine, uric acid is more addictive than caffeine,
dioxypurine.

FOOD POISONING AND ATKINS
Since 97% of all food poisoning fatalities are animal product related
(ecoli, salmonella, toxoplasmosis, etc.) Atkins Diet multiplies the
chances of contracting food poisoning.
VIOLENCE AND ATKINS
Dr Loving at Ohio State found in measuring humans in fights that as
long as 22 hours after, epinepherine
or adrenalin levels in the blood were elevated. Those who ingest
animal flesh are eating the adrenalin, the
fright, anger and terror secreted by the animal who fought against or
fled from slaughter.
Adrenalin is a long protein enzyme. Only some of the links are broken
by cooking. Violence is caused
by the eating of meat.
BRAIN FUNCTION AND ATKINS
The Atkins diet is high in memory destroying mercury and other heavy
metals. Why? Animal and fish products are at the top of the food
chain. Rachel Carson inThe Silent Spring wrote of the poisons in
water that can be concentrated in amounts 100 to 1000 times higher in
fish.
Animal protein plaque lines the brain and is corrlelated along with
aluminum and alcohol to Alzheimer's.
Animal fat lines the cerebral arteries blocking blood flow. William
Shakespeare (or Marlowe) in Twelfth Night: "He is a heavy eater of
beef. Methinks it doth harm to his wit."
The Atkins diet has no vitamin C. C, wrote Dr Linus Pauling, Nobel
Prize winning neurochemist who discovered new elements, is necessary
for rapid transmission of brain signals.
Blood is diverted from the brain to the stomach after a heavy meat
meal. Carnivores sleep in the sun for 3 days after a fresh kill.
INSECTICIDES AND ATKINS
Every pollutant in the war is concentrated in a thousand times
greater amounts in meat. Mercury, pbb's, pcb's, arsenic, chromium,
lead are some of the tens of thousands of industrial pollutants,
heavy metals, hormones, antibiotics.
DIABETES AND ATKINS
diabetes.org
Quote:
People with diabetes have no less or more need for protein than the general public. The American Diabetes Association nutrition guidelines suggest eating between 15 and 20% of your calories as protein. The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight.
People with diabetes have a greater risk of heart disease earlier in life. One of the most important nutrition guidelines to follow is "eat less saturated fat." A quick way to do that is to cut down on animal protein foods -- meats, whole milk dairy foods, and high-fat cheeses (such as cheddar, brie, or American). If you cut down on animal protein, you can be pretty sure you will cut down on saturated fat and cholesterol as well.

There is no law prohibiting fast food chains from putting offal,
intestinal linings, lips, eyes, snouts, etc. in their Nuggets.
Dr. Richard Fleming, a cardiologist and founder of the Fleming Heart and Health Institute in Omaha, Neb., obtained Atkins’ autopsy report from the New York City medical examiner’s office and gave the report to PCRM.
Quote:
Dr. Robert Atkins, whose popular diet stressed meat and cheese over carbohydrates, weighed 258 pounds at his death and had a history of heart disease, a newspaper reported Tuesday.
Atkins died last April at age 72 (a cerebral stroke generated
a fall)
Before his death, he had suffered a heart attack, congestive heart failure and hypertension, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing a report by the city medical examiner.
At 258 pounds, the 6-foot-tall Atkins would have qualified as obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's body-mass index calculator
