Despite the few areas where I think the Atkins Food Guide Pyramid could be improved, the pyramid nonetheless remains an impressive guide to sound nutrition. In fact, I think it should replace the USDA Food Guide Pyramid. The Atkins pyramid simply describes a healthier way for human beings to eat.
Its use of the exercise gradient is nothing less than brilliant, and it even has the courage to warn people against two dangerous ingredients: added sugars and hydrogenated oils. Those are features we've never seen on any food guide pyramid from the USDA.
My guess is that if the general public were to follow the Atkins Food Guide Pyramid as published, we would see a stunning decrease in deaths from cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, not to mention sharp drops in clinical depression, behavioral disorders, digestive disorders like IBS, nervous system disorders and even arthritis.
All of this, of course, would devastate the pharmaceutical industry, which depends on these diseases for its financial lifeline. But they need not worry (yet), since chances are, the USDA will never adopt anything close to the Atkins pyramid as their own. More likely, the USDA will eventually produce yet another politically-motivated nutritional chart organized primarily in terms of the financial and political influence of various food industry groups and growers.
It will be heralded as the "official U.S. government guide to nutrition," and it will never say anything like "no added sugars," since that would enrage the Big Sugar industry in the United States, which is heavily subsidized by taxpayer dollars and has strong political ties.
The fact is, the USDA will never get nutrition right. They can't. They don't have the political courage to print the truth such as, "refined sugars cause diabetes." A statement like that would never fly at the USDA, regardless of its scientific merit.
That's why you can only get the truth on nutrition and health from independent researchers and writers like what you're getting right here in this report.
