You have been informed of data that show that "hyperketonemia causes

The part of the data that you fail to mention, the anti-oxidant
inhibition of the lipid peroxidation process, is the part that causes
your entire argument to be a strawman. The requirements of doing any of
the major LC diets that I have reviewed (Atkins, ProPower, ProPower
LifePlan) would supply the antioxidant vitamins and such that will
prevent the peroxidation. That makes MOOT your entire argument. If you
didn't clip my arguments and X-post them very wide, it would be clear
to ANYONE who read it. In your view of the world, the LORD knows it
already, since HE would be omniscient. HE (if He existed) knows that
you are very wrong, a terrible X-poster, a butcher or arguments, and
completely lost on this subject.

And that AntiOxidants prevent peroxidation in a hyperketonemic
environment. Therefore, I shouldn't worry, getting plenty of them as
part of my LC diet.

I completed it in the subject, so you will be sure to take note.

In the interest of scientific discovery, I want you to take a month off
from praying for all of our hearts to keep beating. We can monitor
heart stoppages over that time to see if your prayers have any effect.
Since my heart beat for 33 years before you started praying for it, I
suspect it can handle another month without divine intervention on your
behalf.

The rest of the data neither contradicts nor supports the understanding
that:

"Hyperketonemia causes lipid peroxidation."

For this reason, it remains my choice to continue to focus on the harm
that is being perpetrated on the unsuspecting low-carbers out there who
are developing atherosclerosis because of their low-carb diet only to
be later subjected to blame from you and your accursed ilk for not
taking enough of the right kinds of anti-oxidants.

Pray tell what are the right anti-oxidants and the right amount of each
that a person should take to prevent the harm that is occurring?

No need to answer this rhetorical question for which only GOD knows the
answer.

Again, the 2PD-OMER Approach is not a diet.

Because of the requirement of physician supervision, folks are general
steered away from low-carb diets to avoid the possibility of
hyperketonemia.

Carbohydrates, by driving the Krebs cycle to produce reducing
equivalents (NADH and NADPH), prevent the hyperketonemia in the first
place plus they restore levels of reduced glutathione to mop up oxygen
radicals that normally arise from aerobic respiration.

The healthy appetite of those using the 2PD-OMER Approach to reduce
their intake to the optimal amount proves there is no hyperketonemia or
any other harm befalling these blessed folks.

In truth, it has already been studied. The answer is that oral
antioxidant supplements fail to provide any benefit toward reducing
cardiovascular events. Please be sure to let me know if you would like
the PubMed citations that show their failure.

The diet is rich in antioxidants from food sources when done to spec.

Then stop advocating it. Your advocacy is a sales job. There may be no
cash exchanged, but you are selling your goofy, starvation diet
none-the-less. You are actively recruiting. IF you weren't, you every
post would not have links to your goofiness. Your every post would not
mention the 2PD-OMER DIET.
As for it being a diet, here's a quote from your very own website:
"His 2 pound diet is a service..." Jerome Long (likely you)
Additionally, you post around DIET newsgroups with your advocacy of
your "approach" as the god given alternative to their current DIETS. If
you are the alternative to all DIETS, doesn't that make you a DIET too?

5-years, no peer review. If it wasn't peer reviewed, it didn't happen.
Also, what was the total mortality of the 2PD-OMER Diet vs. people on

My physician is fully on board with my LC. My friend, a doctor at a
major hospital in a major east coast city, was the one to get me
started with LC. My father's doctor was also very supportive of his
adoption of LC. Oh, by the way, he is five years out and in much better
health than whe he started. We haven't seen any of the signs of lipid
peroxidation.

That's not what the leading scientists working on the problem say. In
fact, they are suggesting that ketones are pretty harmless, your three
studies (two of which were terribly flawed for the purposes you are
using them for) not withstanding.

The crux of the issue. You might have said this last week and several
posts ago. But you didn't. Because you know the answer already. LC is
high in antioxidants naturally. We eat berries that are high. We eat
meat with zinc and selenium. If I can't get it from food, and I can't
get it from oral supplements, I guess I don't need it to live, since I
can't get it anywhere.

The HOPE trial has proven that vitamin E is of zero benefit in

Apparently, if you are a man, and you take the supplement as described,
you can lower your incidence of cancer by a third. You can also drop
your total mortality by 37%.

The author also makes note about one of your widely circulated,
frequently cited studies on Vitamin E toxicity. First off, you need to
be clear on the dose, since we are talking 400IU in your toxic study. I
take 100IU in my multi + 20IU in my EFA. These are, by the way, mixed
tocopherols and tocotrienols. The studies that demonstrate risk use
high dose of Alpha tocopherol.

While we're here, peep this one:
http://www.nutritionandmetabolism.com/content/3/1/19

Lemme give you their summation of their findings. They write it better
than I could.

"There were no group or interaction (fiber × time) main effects, but
significant time effects were observed for several variables. Energy
intake was spontaneously reduced (-30.5%). This was accompanied by an
increase in protein intake (96.2 ± 29.8 g/d to 107.3 ± 29.7 g/d) and
methionine intake (2.25 ± 0.7 g/d, to 2.71 ± 0.78 g/d; P < 0.001).
Trans fatty acid intake was significantly reduced (-38.6%) while
dietary folate was unchanged, as was plasma homocysteine. Bodyweight
(-7.5 ± 2.5 kg) was reduced as was plasma Lp(a) (-11.3%). Changes in
plasma Lp(a) correlated with reductions in LDL-cholesterol (r = .436, P
< 0.05) and fat loss (r = .385, P < 0,05). At wk 12, both CRP (-8.1%)
and TNF-a (-9.3%) were reduced (P < 0.05) independently of weight
loss. IL-6 concentrations were unchanged."

They then conclude:
"A diet based on restricting carbohydrates leads to spontaneous caloric
reduction and subsequent improvement in emerging markers of CVD in
overweight/obese men who are otherwise healthy."

Wow! So, you switch the carb flow off, and you find that they eat less.
That'd be in line with your recommendation, except they probably were
not hungry all the time. Then, they kept the carbs out and most of
their "new" markers for CardioVascularDisease went down. Their
traditional markers were observed in another study. Their LDL go down.
Their TriGlycerides too. Their HDL go up. Their big and medium VLDL go
down. And their remaining LDL got all big and puffy and cotton
candy-like. Rather than hard and mean and BB like. Oh yeah, their
patients lost 7.5KG, which is 16.5LBS here in the US and reduced their
abdominal fat (that really bad stuff that supposedly shows you are
hurting your heart) by 20-Freaking-percent! All that in 12 weeks!!!
Tell me I can get those results with the 2PD-OMER diet. In 12 weeks.

Amazing. Those folks rock. Like I said, I can find em and post em until
the break of dawn (somewhere).

-Hollywood, reminding you that Genesis 45:18 suggests the fat of the
land was something worth schlepping from Egypt to Canaan and back for.
I think I'll eat some high fat almonds in their memory.

The findings of this study are likely spurious for four reasons:

(1) There were no statistically significant differences between the
treatment and control groups despite large number of subjects (more
than 17,000) and long duration of follow-up (more than 7 years).

(2) Breaking out the men resulted in a large statistically significant
all cause survival benefit in the treatment group compared to the
placebo group without a counterbalancing effect in the opposite
direction for the women suggesting that there are internal
inconsistences in how the breakout analysis was done.

(3) There was no reduction in cardiovascular deaths which was the
prospective focus in the study design. Retrospective re-looks at other
things when the prospective focus yielded naught are notoriously
unreliable.

(4) Similar findings have not been seen elsewhere in other studies.

The author also makes note that they "finally" have a study to justify
anti-oxidant supplements. It is wise to regard such bias warily.

These favorable changes in lipid profile likely are due primarily to
the decrease in trans fat intake and not reductions in carbohydrate
intake. See **emphasis** above.

The 2PD-OMER Approach is not a diet.

The average weight loss for the overweight in 12 weeks using the
2PD-OMER Approach is around 15 lbs, VAT (visceral adipose tissue aka
intra-abdominal fat) first followed by SCAT (sub-cutaneous adipose
tissue) and no muscle loss. This means a typicall loss of 100% of the
VAT for the overweight.

> Amazing.

Not really. The intra-abdominal fat (aka visceral adipose tissue or
VAT) is caused by over-eating and not by eating carbs. Address the
cause directly and you get direct results. VAT is the last fat to
accumulate and with eating less, it is the first fat to be used up.
All other approaches don't address the cause directly and so the
results are less that satisfactory. 20% is not satisfactory when every
ounce of VAT is clearly harmful.

The analogy is this:

If you are lost in the woods, the way back out is retracing your steps.

The truth will trump all your efforts to deceive. Such is the utility
of a discerning heart.

The fat of the land described in Genesis 45:18 was the stored up grain
which would have been eaten as bread.

GOD is great.

"When I told Abbie Hoffman that he was the first one who made me laugh

combination of satirical irreverence and sense of justice that Bruce and
Hoffman shared was the real spirit behind the Yippies--a term I coined to
describe a phenomenon that already existed: an organic coalition of stoned
hippies and political activists who engaged in such actions as throwing
money on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, then explaining to
reporters the meaning of that symbolism. Folksinger Phil Ochs summed it
up: "A demonstration should turn you on, not turn you off." So when
journalists link the Yippies with misleading bedfellows, at best it's
