PSA- please read

I just found out from my sis what happened to our cousin. It wasn't a heart attack as we'd first thought, rather a condition I'd never even heard of before called ketoacidosis. What it basically means is that she poisoned herself to death by taking in way too much protein. For a detailed description of the condition check out:

Please, anyone even considering doing the Atkins diet, read this information and take it to heart. There is no diet in the world worth losing your life over.

Why didn't her doctor catch it?

I'm not sure, it's entirely possible that the symptoms snuck up on her rapidly and that she was totally unaware of any of the warning signs. I certainly don't know that I would've picked up on them myself, they're rather non-specific.
