After eight weeks on the Atkins diet, a 16-year-old Missouri girl died of cardiac arrhythmia, as reported in the Southern Medical Journal. Jody Gorran of Delray Beach, Fla., went on the diet, only to find that his cholesterol level skyrocketed. He developed chest pain and needed urgent heart surgery.

Interesting... two data points out of "tens of millions" of people following Atkins! Makes you wonder what their state of health was *before* they decided they needed to lose weight on Atkins, and whose dietary advice brought them to that point. Food for thought...
