>Ornish is a total washout... To US maybe, but he's tops on the media's contact list when it comes to stories on low-carb diets. Why? He preaches the exact opposite. Which makes sense. It's a news term called 'reax' (reaction), the first thing you get when something hits the fan. In his case, that's a new study or book. Remember all those stories on Atkins when Taubes' article came out? Ornish was interviewed and quoted left and right. Now that I think about it, why am I posting this to the list? Sorry. But pleeeeeeease let me say one more thing; Ornish has a face like a monkey's ass! Sorry, he's just someone I love to hate. I've heard many a tale of what an jerk he is, too. I TRY to love all God's chil'ren but sometimes, I just CAN'T. Dori Zook Denver, CO
