A couple of weeks ago, the Drs. Heller put out a call on the CASupport list
for volunteers to be interviewed for an upcoming article on carb addiction
in, I believe, Women's Day magazine. And there was a recent segment on one
of the news shows about Syndrome X and carbs and *for once* they
interviewed somebody besides Atkins - they interviewed Barry Sears of The
Zone. I felt the piece wasn't entirely accurate but, still, it's progress!

I do think the one-size-fits-all low fat approach is *finally* on its way
out.
