The Deadly Atkins & Keto Diets

The Atkins Foundation which promotes the Atkins diet has taken to the airwaves to advertise pizza.

Dr Robert C Atkins died in 2003 weighing 258 pounds, either from a cerebral stroke which caused him to hit his head on the sidewalk or from slipping on ice. He had first had his heart condition reported at the age of 67. He was inspired by Irwin Stillman MD , who died around age 70 and by Adelle Davis, who died of bone cancer. She was an advocate of organ meats, the consumption of which Dick Gregory described as akin to eating the filter out of car. All three: Atkins, Stillman and Davis died several years sooner than the average life expectancy in the US. All three promoted animal flesh and animal products.

Atkins' diet which includes animal fat and animal protein, causes kidney damage from ketosis.. Carnivores have 5 times human kidney size per pound. There have been many fatalities from the Atkins diet. Acidification which in turn causes internal bleeding from stomach ulcers and which according to some oncologists is a factor in development of cancer cells,, many kinds of cancer, heart attacks, strokes, aneurisms, lethal food poisoning are caused by the same high animal protein and animal fat diets. Homocysteine in animal protein has a byproduct, amyloid plaque, which lines cerebral arteries blocking blood flow to the brain. One result is Alzheimer's. Intestinal cancer occurs from the lack of natural fiber. Carcinogens in the diet include malondialdehyde, methylcholanthrene, the female hormones given animals so that they will gain water weight, the multiplied insecticide concentrations in animal flesh. A one thousand pound cow has eaten an average 21,000 pounds of food in her abbreviated life. Nonbiodegradable insecticides stay in the flesh. Heart surgeons report having to cut through layers of white animal fat to do heart surgery. Even the conservative American Medical Association condemned the Atkins diet. It is interesting that the Inuit of Alaska, Greenland etc.whose diet is primarily animal protein and the Masai of Africa have the world's lowest life expectancy, if one discounts war, deaths from poverty, accident.

Those who try the high animal protein diet find that they lose perhaps twenty pounds and then can lose no more. They are stuck on the top of a plateau with high sides all around.

The vegan and fruitarian diets have the best success with weight loss. Dr Mervyn Hardinge before leaving Harvard (Dr Stanley Prusiner, discoverer of mad cow prions as well left Harvard because of its investment in the meat industry and its unwillingness to give priority to his prion research) put vegans, dairy vegetarians, and nonvegetarians on an isocaloric diet. Each group ate the same number of calories daily. At the end of the ninety days, the nonvegetarians weighed 23 pounds more than the vegans and 12 pounds more than the dairy vegetarians. While there were no fruitarians in the study, Hardinge reported that fruitarians he found weighed less than the other three groups. Hardinge's research was reported in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association.

Besides causing millions of deaths or sicknesses to human beings, the Atkins diet causes animal agony, deforestation, global heating, energy waste.

The picture is of 67 year old John Robbins, founder of Earthsave and author of Diet For A New America and other books. He is a Baskin Robbins heir who promotes vegan diet everywhere.

Certain carcinogens are created when animal flesh is heated to high temperatures.

Other problems arise if meat is not heated enough, e.g. ecoli (colon bacteria) and other forms of food poisoning.
