Low Carb - Battle of the Diets: Stanford meta data study

this Stanford professor gives something of a "tick" to low-carb diets in this presentation:

"January 17, 2008 presentation by Christopher Gardner for the Stanford School of Medicine Medcast lecture series.

The case for low-carbohydrate diets is gaining weight. Christopher Gardner, PhD, assistant professor of medicine at the Stanford Prevention Research Center, has completed the largest and longest-ever comparison of four popular diets using real-world conditions, which he discusses - the lowest-carbohydrate Atkins diet came out on top."

nb: leading low carb authorities will say that meta-data studies of the kind he relies on are of limited value, if not suspect on many levels.
