Low-Carb-Positive Comment in LA Times
Monday July 13, 2009
Nice reference to low-carb eating in an article in the LA Times. Marnell Jameson wrote an article comparing some of the longevity "gurus" of the past 50 years or so, and getting nutritional experts of today to comment. After profiling both Nathan Pritikin and Robert Atkins, there is this commentary:
"Both Pritikin and Atkins contributed significant, well-documented science to the field of nutrition", says Jose Ordovas, professor of nutrition and a senior scientist at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University, where he is also director of the Nutrition and Genomics Laboratory. With his team he has studied both methods extensively. "Neither one is right or wrong. Each approach works for a specific genetic makeup...We have to move beyond the notion that diets are good or bad, and be careful not to globalize, and assume one dietary approach fits all."Hear, hear!
