That's in the textbooks, actually. So Atkins is still posing as
"persecuted"
when his ideas get wide acceptance *provided there is data*. Interesting.
Sounds
like he's trying to sucker in conspiracy theorists.
James Responds: Your comment is unfair. The Adkins is being persecuted
in the newspapers. Just prior to finding this quote in Adkins latest book,
I
read a newspaper article claiming ketones could not sustain brain function
and the body must make glucose by digesting its own muscle. Adkins was
simply laughing off mindless repeated memes and quoted standard
sources regarding ketones.
