MSN ran an article on this yesterday... the NEJM with the study report comes out today! The only thing I found a little bit discouraging is that the low carb diet wasn't Atkins per se. They "encouraged" the low carb dieters to choose "vegetarian sources of protein and fats" to reduce saturated fat. They discouraged use of cream, full fat cheeses, etc. Low carb (good news) but not Atkins (bad news). Atkins Nutritionals helped fund the two year study... thank you AN!!! ... but did not have any input on the actual low carb diet used.

Too bad all that time and money had to be spent learning what WE already know...
