Diet: Atkins diet new controversy

Dr Atkins diet has been at the heart of heated controversy
in recent times.

On May 26, 2004 A Florida businessman filed suit against
the makers of Atkins diet, based on low carb recipes, as
opposed to rival diets which favor low fat recipes.

The businessman claimed as a consequence of following
Dr Atkins diet, he suffers from severe heart disease,
necessitating angioplasty and a stent. He is seeking a court
injunction banning Atkins Nutritionals from marketing its
products without a warning of potential health risks and
asks for compensatory damages.
