A glance at the list of food sources for these essential micronutrients quickly shows you how important fruity vegetables, nuts and pulses are, precisely the food groups you severely restrict on a classic low-carb diet. Fish, chicken and red meat supply a small number of these nutrients as well, but many are simply not present in these foods. And, of course, normally we eat these foods cooked, and the cooking process can severely deplete the nutritional value. A fat and protein-oriented diet will not provide the nutritional profile you need for good health.

But Atkins does recommend supplements, you may reply, surely that will ensure I get the right nutritional profile. Unfortunately Atkins was no micronutritionist, and the supplement recommendations, though they go some way to compensating for a very skewed diet, are not well thought through and in some areas are completely inadequate. For example, the importance of vitamin K, resistant starch, flavonoids and sterols to a healthy diet is simply not recognized.

Moreover there is plenty of evidence about the benefits of whole foods for health, such as the importance of fibre for healthy digestive functioning. Supplements can support a healthy eating programme, but your starting point for good nutrition should be the whole foods you eat at every meal.

Cardiovascular disease — which includes heart attacks and stroke — remains the leading cause of mortality in the developed world. However some countries fare far worse than others. Britain has one of the highest rates of heart disease in the European Union, and the rate is higher than in the United States or Australia. According to a recent World Health Organization report, Irishmen and Scotsmen are three times more likely to die of coronary artery disease than their French counterparts. Their partners are even worst off; women in Belfast or Glasgow are nine times more likely to die of a heart attack than their French sisters.

The fact that Aberdonians are so much more at risk than the citizens of Toulouse is known as the French Paradox. French cuisine, in some areas at least, is at least as rich as Scottish fare. A diet replete with full fat (not to mention unpasteurized) cheese, cream and pate de fois gras is not really what the doctor ordered — and yet the French, most unfairly, and even despite those appalling French cigarettes, seem to be able to get away with it.
