New study shows high-carb, vegan diet causes major weight loss

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, to discover that a study funded by this bunch of animal rights wingnuts has found that vegan diets produce weight loss! This is science in the service of political agendas at it's worst.

This isn't a "Study in Stupidity", it's a Study in Deception. And I'd trust it just about as much as I'd trust a "study" from the American Dairy Association that "proved" eating 50 pound of cheese a day cured impotence!

A low-fat, plant-based diet is more effective at helping women lose weight and improve insulin sensitivity than an omnivorous diet, shows a new study appearing in the September issue of The American Journal of Medicine. The study, involving 59 overweight, postmenopausal women, was conducted by Neal D. Barnard, M.D., president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), together with colleagues at Georgetown University Hospital and George Washington University.
