* First my apologies that Pinnacle Studios screwed up the audio – video sync at the end (7:40). I tried redoing the video three times, but the same out of sync happened each time.* In this video, I deal with another one of the myths that Atkins Diet increases one’s cholesterol level due to its saturated fats.

You might be surprised to find out the truth behind what happens when a person has a nutritional deficiency.
