出版社周刊评论
The author of Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution argues here that the use of supplements and a change in diet can eliminate many health problems, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and stroke. Most diets focus on reducing the consumption of fat rather than cutting back on sugar; according to Atkins, people should reconsider their intake of both. Along with an explanation of how the body processes chemicals, Atkins examines the negative impact of carbohydrates, explaining that their refining "is in reality the greatest unacknowledged cause of death in world history." He discusses the equally damaging impact of free radicals and offers advice on which supplements everyone should be taking, including Vitamin C, Vitamin E and lipoic acid, among others. The actual diet portion of the book is only about 70 pages and does not include a meal-by-meal plan or caloric charts, omissions serious dieters will notice. Instead, Atkins continues to promote the two key principles--everyone, regardless of their weight, must reduce the amount of carbohydrates they consume, and everyone should also eat a variety of antioxidants, primarily from vegetables, fruits and supplements. Atkins's philosophy on taking supplements and eating a range of foods is sound, though other physicians may well question the doses he recommends. Author tour. (Jan.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

《书目》(Booklist)书评
With boomers rapidly marching into their fifties, Atkins is waiting, offering hints on how to fake out Father Time. Readers who have joined Atkins' previous revolutions will find much that's familiar, but the focus here is "holding back aging" by preventing "diseases of westernization," particularly heart disease and diabetes. Atkins argues that "the key to aging" is hyperinsulinism and that carbohydrates, both simple and complex, contribute to this condition. In addition, he discusses the (now familiar) idea that free radicals damage the body and must be countered by antioxidants via diet or supplementation. He explains antioxidant enzymes, carotenoids, and bioflavonoids and the difference between good and "really bad" fats, urging readers to "Build Your Immunity," "Detoxify Your Body," and (inevitably) "Exercise!" Based on past performance, Atkins' traditional complementary medicine approach to the terrors of growing old should have wide appeal. Hardly an easy read but, with lists and charts that readers can copy and take to the health-food store (guggulipid? boswellia?), Atkins' latest will circulate. --Mary Carroll
