Eric, this is pretty ironic, just saw a combination of "Dateline" segments about the Atkins Diet, pros and con's. Understand carb's are now the enemy, but a few years ago back the were the base of the "Food Pyramid." And red meat is touted as not all as bad is it was put up to be. But around here there's a caution that too much fish unhealty because of chemicals, and if farm raised there's too much antibiotics in the fish.

AAARRGGGHHHH.....

And the diet here is mostly rice and noodles, with meat, veggies and such to give taste to the rice and noodles. And not a whole lot of obese people here despite the food being high in carbohydrates.

Now the sugar thing leads me to this question. If sugars and glucose isn't a factor in tumor growth, then how is it that PET scans work on the basis that cancer cells metabolize sugars at a higher activity level, so show up on the PET scan, if I have this right. The hospital has me avoid all sorts of foods with natural sugars in them the night before a scan.

Remeber the old Woody Allen movie "Sleeper?" The scene where after he comes back from being frozen for 100 years they feed him a Snickers bar, and mention that all the studies were wrong, that it's now health food?
