Something a little different from the usual low-carb stuff...

I saw this yesterday on CNN. What I like most is the professor's over-all ambivalence toward the experiment. Not claiming he has some miracle cure, but not completely writing it off as 100% bad either. Moderation, is refreshing in an age where everyone is promoting or blasting the latest fad diets.

The really sad part is, if you look closely at what his previous "healthy" diet consisted of, he probably still decreased his carb intake just by switching to the junk food. Take a look at a "healthy" granola bar and you'll get less carbs with a deep-fried Twinkie.
