The Atkins diet and the right to life
According to an article in today's Researchers in Colorado revealed at a European fertility conference that embryos from mice that had been fed a high protein diet showed a failure to implant in the womb. They believe the results should be a warning to women who want children.
The Atkins diet may be depriving innocent embryo-Americans to their right to life!
heh heh...
As much as I despise the Atkins craze, I'm not sure I want use this study as evidence against it. I buy the Atkins Foundation's claim that since mice are herbavores, you should be wary of applying the results from a protein-based diet to omnivorous human beings.

See, I was thinking of this as a potential feature. Sashimi--it's the new birth control! If lobster tails and melted butter prevent pregnancy, maybe they'll be covered by insurance.

any one have the right to try any diet system except Pregnant women ;because the results not sure ;i think it will be a crime for our children.
