So you're saying "atkinsexposed.org" is good, but the American Medical Association is "an organization with a financial incentive to promote unhealthy foods." Yeah, good luck convincing people with that argument.

It isn't the American Medical Association which I'm referring to, but rather the American Heart Association. From the parent's source: > The DGAC used the 2013 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology (AHA/ACC) report on lifestyle management to reduce CVD risk for its evaluation of saturated fat intake. The DGAC concurred with the AHA/ACC report that saturated fat intake exceeds current recommendatio…

The PCRM hardly seems like an unbiased group solely focused on human medicine. They are a political advocacy group and who's points are just as tainted as you claim the AHA's are. Only the AHA is much more widely respected. I mean my doctor is a fan of one and not the other. And I trust him with my life.

Please read the court document and evaluate PCRM's position on its own merit. Frankly, I find AHA and others' behavior outlined there to be morally abhorrent and worthy of discussion.

I definitely understand your skepticism, but in this case, your doctor may also be poorly informed - see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2430660/
