The only place to redistribute this article is in a journalism class within a "what not to do" lesson plan. (Hmmm... I think the Wall Street Journal showed this reporter what to do!)
No mention that the Physician's Committee of Responsible Medicine shares space and staffers with PETA.
No correction about Dr. Atkins weight gain due to fluid after his fall.
And no mention of the studies that have actually shown that Atkins doesn't increase the risk of heart disease. (Scientific studies... who needs those?)
And this article, in the Rocky Mountain Collegian gets lambasted by the readers -- just as most news articles like this would get lambasted if they allowed comments! (I was going to just dismiss it and not link to it because these misinformed articles are a dime a dozen, but then I saw it allowed comments on the bottom. And does this article get comments! Read the first comment by Levi Wallach -- I couldn't have said it better myself. Go Levi!)
Update: Levi has his own blog! With a good section on Health & Nutrition (see the links on the right hand of the site.) He also has an excellent post on photo sharing sites.
