I thought it was interesting. I was more impressed before I noticed it was funded by Atkins.

Interesting stuff Sean. I've always heard that fat burns in a a fire of carbohydrate - that you need carbs to burn fat. Apparently you don't need a lot of carbs though.

The idea that Type II diabetics can get off their insulin by going low-carb is way cool.
