-Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

The latest news on nutrition from the “Atkins Diet” crowd is that carbohydrates cause cancer. You might suspect that this is an oversimplification and you’d be right. When I spoke with John Gilman on this, he confirmed my suspicions that the research is tied to the warnings I presented in previous FitBit articles on the dangers of acrylamides. As a refresher, the frying and baking of simple carbohydrates (namely flour from grains) creates acrylamides that become carcinogenic in the body. I would like to tell you more on this, but John had just recently received a letter from Johns Hopkins that we both felt had greater urgency to you (besides, you can go back to previous issues of FitBits and FitNews archived on the website).
