Dr. Joseph Mercola's last email newletter listed 12 reasons he is concerned about the poplularity of the South Beach Diet:

http://mercola.com/2004/jun/9/south_beach.htm

While he gives, as usual, some food for thought, it's also important to remember that Dr. Mercola also has two diet books in the market right now.

Interesting article. I have always enjoyed visiting Dr. Mercola's website for an alternative perspective.

That was really interesting, BC. Thanks for posting it.

Dr. Mercola raises some fascinating points, and I learned a few things about the SBD. But one thing he said:

Quote:
A marketing budget of that size could turn a bicycle repair manual into a major bestseller.
That really made me laugh.

I had noticed a few of the problems he describes, but not all of them. Still, it's a good read.
