Letter on low-fat diets borders on insanity

Dr T Colin Campbell, author of the famed “China Study”, observed that of the thousands of Chinese he studied who were on low-fat, high-carb, plant-based diets, “obese people simply did not exist”.
John Robbins, who was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, wrote in his book ”The Food Revolution” that only 2 per cent of American vegans are obese. I doubt Turk can cite any study showing that only 2 per cent, or even 10 per cent, of American meat-eaters are obese.
Dr Robert Atkins, whose diet Turk is obviously promoting, suffered from obesity, high blood pressure and serious heart problems.
I am deeply concerned that if any readers are foolish enough to follow Turk’s advice, it will literally cost them their lives.
