"When Dr Atkins first launched his diet, he was accused of breaking one of the most fundamental laws of nature.
Scientists said that if you eat more, you'll get fatter.
They also said it could kill. Fat increases your cholesterol levels. You'd get a heart attack.

The only problem was that people who followed the Atkins diet got thinner. Much of the rest of us got fatter.
Then came studies showing that cholesterol levels can actually improve on the Atkins diet.

So what was going on?

Horizon's investigation seems to show that the diet may really work - but for a reason and in a way that no scientists or even Atkins himself had seriously considered."
