this is interesting to me. very interesting. i have done a shitload of research this (ketogenic/protein diets) and it is nothing new. weightlifters have done it for 50 plus years.
the reason why it has been easy to attack is because there are no credible long term studies to prove or disprove the positive and negative health effects of the diet. but now, numerous studies are being published today and continue to be published from credible sources like Harvard, Johns Hopkins etc and they are all showing that he is more right than he is wrong.
it will be interesting to see what happens. i think that science is going to prove him to be right. if that happens, any professional that advised someone to lower their fat intake and replace those calories with carbohydrates, or someone who advocated a high carb/low fat diet (including the government) can be liable for that persons later health - obesity, diabetes, joint problems, heart disease etc etc.
