Do you remember this scandal? In a private conversation with a group of Brooklyn firefighters, the Mayor of New York, Bloomberg dropped the phrase that de personally met with Dr. Robert Atkins and he was fat. Do you remember the indignant reaction of the widow of a nutritionist, who demanded an apology on national television? Do you remember how the press almost plucked these apologies from the mayor, who at first recommended the widow to "cool off"?.

So the report of the pathologist, published on Tuesday, showed that the mayor was at least rude, skeptical about the deceased, but generally right, as reported by the Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years Pannochka. Net Atkins, who died of a head injury at the age of 72, weighed 258 pounds. Too much, of course, especially for a diet guru who guaranteed weight loss.

As it follows from his medical history, Atkins also suffered a heart attack and suffered from hypertension.

Death did not save Dr. Atkins from ill-wishers. The report of the pathologist was requested by a group of propagandists of the vegetarian lifestyle, who considered Atkins as the number one enemy.

If we use the formula proposed by the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Atkins, who weighed 258 pounds at a height of 6 feet, obviously suffered from excess weight.

Dr. Stuart Treger, head of the Atkins Council of Physicians, stated in an open letter that Robert Atkins did suffer from cardiomyopathy, a disease caused by a viral infection.

In April 2002, Atkns himself explained that he suffered a heart attack linked to the infection he had suffered for several years. His condition, he claimed, had nothing to do with his diet.

The head of the urban pathoanatomical center, Dr. Ellen Borakov, said that after the death of Robert Atkins, the family banned an autopsy, so the report was compiled from the data of the body examination and the hospital history obtained from the hospital.

Borak answered the journalists' questions that the law forbids her to discuss the contents of the reports that make up her office, but confirmed that she sent a report to Nebraska at the request of the Committee of Physicians for Responsible Medicine, which promotes vegetarianism. With a delay, Borakov found out that the report was requested by the activist of the organization, and not by the acting doctor, which also prohibits the law.

Boracov said she intends to file a complaint with the health department in the Nebraska state administration medicus. En.
