Just read your post..........go to BrianPeskin.com to read about the science of the body and what a healty diet really is. My friend has cirrhosis of the liver and went on a very low (25g per day) carb diet and after six short weeks was told he did not have to be on a liver transplant list..........had his liver scanned at the University of Minnesota. Shortly after his biliruben number was tested (same time he had the scan and got the great news) he started carbing up and is in really bad shape again. He learned nothing. Sad
