Trillion Dollar Lawsuits Coming.

11-22-2002

i beleive we are about 2 1/2 - 5 years away from seeing a massive, complete and total explosion of lawsuits in this area.

this is good summary on the subject reprinted from the NY Times

the US Government and the entire medical community is going to get hit really hard by this issue in a few years. medical science is proving it to be true with each new study.

Its one thing to sue MdDonalds, but what about the governments nutritional guidelines being proven to be completely wrong that it caused increased obesity in the US as a result? We are only a few years now from seeing this happen.

i am not in any way supportive of Atkins. he is probably proving to be a better marketer than cardiologist, since he has already suffered from one heart attack, both of which are why his name is at the center of this debate.

but medical science has been trying to prove him wrong.... and their findings are continuing to prove him right. The legal implications in the US of him being right and winning the high carbohydrate/low carbohydrate debate are almost unfathomable in terms of potential lawsuits. every heart attack.... every extra pound... almost every diabetic etc etc etc... will be blamed directly on the US Government.
