My newspaper had a letter in it this morning from a "Jennifer K. Reilly, M.D." from "The Cancer Project" claiming the $400 million study that proved low fat doesn't prevent cancer and heart disease was all wet and that a diet of only 10% fat will cure everything.
A bit of Googling turned up the fact that she's from the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine, a vegetarian group affiliated with PETA who sponsor letter writing campaigns to fight anything that promotes a truly healthy diet.
If you see this letter in your newspaper, be sure to write to the editor and point out that this "Cancer Project" is an extremist group affiliated with PETA whose agenda has nothing to do with health. And that the studies of ultra low fat diets (like Ornish) actually show they harm cardiovascular markers like triglycerides and cholesterol.

[censored]. Don't these idiots know that one can eat only plant sources of food and still get greater than 10% fat in the diet? Why do they assume that fat only comes from animals. Morons.

Not handy. It was the study that compared Ornish, Atkins and Weight Watchers. You must have a link to it somewhere. It was discussed a lot a couple years ago here.
