Weighing In on Atkins

I was heartened to learn that conscientious doctors have brought national
attention to Dr. Robert Atkins's medical record ("Atkins Under Attack," Feb.
23). The fact that the fad-diet guru apparently suffered from congestive
heart failure, obesity and hypertension should make dieters think twice
before consuming foods rich in saturated fat and cholesterol. As a vegan for
more than a decade, it's clear to me that the best way to stay trim and
healthy is to load up on fruits and vegetables, and to leave the meat, eggs
and dairy products where they belong—with the animals from which they came.
