Hmm. Aren't most statins and BP meds off-patent these days?
Seems like the sweeter cruises would come from cranking out scripts for just-approved meds & devices for diabetes and its progeny (kidney failure, CVD, toenail fungus, terminal flatulence, etc.).1 -

It's still a $30 billion business, so lots of reasons to keep pushing the brand names.2 -
I think the only thing that wasn't mentioned is the death of Dr. Atkins played into the fears for a lot of people, because he died of congestive heart failure. The Atkins diet was a big deal around the year 2000, but as soon as he died people started criticizing low carb diets.1

The congestive heart failure angle is conjecture - there was no autopsy performed on Dr Atkins after his death so beyond the damage caused by the fall that put him into a coma and ultimately killed him anything else is pure speculation.5 -

I mistake in stating he died from it, but at the time, the heart issues are what people ran with to criticize the diet, and people thought he died of.2 -

I saw those also - they were mainly the vegan/vegetarian crowd who hated Atkins and everything that he stood for.1 -

*The* vegan/vegetarian crowd? There are plenty of Vs who avoid carbs...
Seems to me the processed food manufacturers, vendors, etc., had/have the most to lose from people going LC.3 -
If we are a control group- then it seems most of us are ok after doing keto for some time.2
