Ornish 2:25 fascinating point about the LDL receptors discovery that led to the Nobel prize. Perfect response.

Where are Atkins, Ornish and McDougall now? That’s the answer to the debate.

Dr. McDougal at the end  with few words wins this debate.

To Atkins: "10 million books in print and you can't fund a single study?" LOL! Priceless!

Great video thank you very much for uploading! Can anyone tell me what's the name of the doctor with the moustache? At least in my screening the quality is too poor to read it Thank you very much!

[um]

I would just ask if what Dr. McDougall said about those societies is true. If it is, he's right. If it's not, he's wrong.

[wadayaduin]

Did Atkins follow his own recommendations? He's 69 here, and looks terrible, more like 79. He died at 72. Either his diet did this to him, or he didn't follow it, and if the founder doesn't/can't follow his own diet, it can fairly be assumed to not be sustainable.

In 2000, the U.S. was at the apex of fat-phobia. Most doctors knew that low-carb was effective for weight loss, and many also knew that it was good for diabetes, reducing or eliminating the need for insulin injections among type II patients, but very few would speak out against the low-fat (high carb) dogma that prevailed. Dr Atkins was outspoken about the benefits of a low-carb approach, and his license to practice medicine was once put in jeopardy for advocating this approach.

They should have such a debate again. I would love to see Eric Westman, Michael Eades, Tim Noakes, or Robert Lustig in a debate like this today.

Final score: Plant Based 10. Low Carb 0. It´s a massacre!

[Jacqueline-Luo]

Wow, so much ignorance in these comments.

[kin.]

How is this still up for debate 20 years later - WFPB is the way!

[XtremeScratchers]

The profits come from processed sugary and processed packaged high carb foods, flour products and canned crap with a long shelf life. Meat goes bad just as fast as fruits and vegetables, so therr CONSISTENTLY loosing money... get it right people
