Saying "he was seduced 'with a bacon-wrapped cheeseburger' [3]," Florida millionaire Jody Gorran filed a lawsuit against Atkins Nutritionals and the estate of the late Dr. Atkins. Gorran required surgery to open a 99 percent blocked coronary artery after following the high-fat, high-protein Atkins diet for two years. In addition to $28,000 in damages, Gorran is "seeking an injunction to prevent [Atkins Nutritionals] from selling their products, books, or having their website without a warning, because they know one-third of the people on the diet will have what Atkins referred to as 'less favorable cholesterol'." The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine [4], which Atkins Nutritionals called an "extremist animal rights vegan group [5]," is assisting with the lawsuit. Atkins Nutritionals called the suit a "scare tactic ... designed to convince the American public to stop eating animal protein of any sort."
