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:

Ketoacidosis ...
The Menace Of The High Protein Low Carbohydrate Diet


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.

This article is informative...apparently there is a link between the diet and people with blood sugar issues: http://www.philkaplan.com/thefitnesstruth/atkinsrevisited.htm

That was a very helpful article, thanks!

I've posted this on my LJ, too, and have gotten some good comments.
