Daily journal January 12, 2001, the bloody red meat diet of Atkins MD angers me.

15,400 weight-loss diets are now said to be on the Internet alone all giving advise and mostly not very nice because I believe they are targeting your money. Weight watchers say less and Fergie says it best, facts are that most donot get to the problem for longlife free of device that robs us of good health and happy experience. Atkins says that the carbohydrates has caused 30 million Americans to be diabetic compared to 3 Million 100 years ago. I'd say not true. Certainly there may be 30-50 million diabetics living in America today and it may have increased as he says but it parallels the importation of sugar per capita in this country now equaling 150 lbs per person living per year. What an awful pitiful and huge consumption. Now to separate the foods classified as carbohydrates from refined sugar that is the real beast we face. Beside animal fat I believe sugar to be the most damaging of any food we consult indeed is not food at all but a sweetner. Sugar burns like fuel in the body and causes the body to store fat. Once you stop taking sugar your body will burn the fat so long as it has no sugar to burn. The major carbohydrates they say turns to sugar are rice and potatoes. In poor countries such as Romania where they all eat only potatoes, one never hears of a diabetes or many of the other quick killers of our time in this country. We consider the field of carbohydrates as including pastas and wheat bread. We should define the carbohydrate sugar much different than the safe foods that are carbohydrates or starch. It is established that all beef protein diets do 2 things to the body. Protein depletes the bones by robbing them of the calcium structure. Second is that all protein diets without carbohydrates, said to dehydrate the cells giving artificial weight-loss on the scale while putting your body in grave danger of losing an organ or flat out dying. I believe what they say about this is true and I would fear to practice the Atkins diet. People want to hear a medical doctor say they can glutton on red meat and get by and still lose weight. People like to hear from a priest or the Pope that they can commit sin and for money be forgiven by the Priest or the Pope or Mother Mary. They want to be conned and so they pay the money and bare their own sin. I saw a man rise up from a table of red meat and his face was blood red and I know his life is limited if he continues to follow his appetite and desire for heavy protein animal fat, sugar, flour, milk and table salt. The government is said now to be preparing to study the Atkins diet for scientific facts to label it and this will take years. The Atkins book has sold a reported 9 million so it must be bad. There's no such demand for truth in the world in which we live. Give the people what they want to hear or sell them what they want to know and be told. We will soon see a turnaround as these people hit the ground and then where will Dr. Atkins hide for they are liable to sue for their body they will need a new. Read the Scripture and pray.

A warning of mercury in fish tonight on ABC prime-time naming tuna, swordfish and shark as feared high in mercury poison that could cause nerve disorder in human beings.

Bob Jones the third half was on again with Larry King showing a speech by Senator Ashcroft of Missouri one year ago at the University. Ashcroft is the former governor of Missouri and a very decent man. The facts are that to the liberals who want no Christian gentleman to be in government. The women's lib wants no God fearing person to be in power in this government. Look at us with the defiant youth and awarding world waiting to destroy us. We are a nation of broken homes 50% and fatherless with preachers that fail to preach the gospel and have become a joke. Wakeup people of God and take a stand and be who you are for God sake and for your own sake of your soul in eternity.
