  1. to my FOB address which I only use on this group. Some people are
    unbelievably idiotic.

    ATKINS INSURANCE FRAUD, INC.
    925 Market Street
    San Francisco, California 94109
    Fax (415) 543-7708

    Dear Atkins User:

    This is to inform you that AIF, Inc., in association with a network of
    Insurance companies and hospitals has found out your identity and has
    entered your name and social security number into a database.

    That database is used for insurance fraud purposes to prevent insurance
    companies from having to pay for medical coverage that is deemed reckless
    and disregarding to the fiduciary duty of policy holders.

    The Atkins diet users have been specifically targeted due to the knowledge
    of the health consequences. It costs insurance companies $500,000 per
    cardiac arrest. Thus, the ten thousand dollars it took to find out who you
    are is well worth the effort.

    You will not be covered for anything but emergency room care (if you have a
    poverty level income) and you could be arrested for insurance fraud if you
    were on Atkins at the time of applying for coverage, and did not disclose
    that to your insurance company.

    It is advised that you discontinue Atkins immediately, or discuss what you
    perceive are the health benefits with your insurance provider. It is
    possible that if you have been on Atkins for less than two years the
    cardiovascular damage and kidney destruction could be rectified.

    It is the official position of THE ATKINS INSURANCE FRAUD, Inc. to get
    people off Atkins before dealing with the civil litigation and criminal
    prosecution of what is clearly been shown to be a fatal lifestyle.

    But be informed that without discussing this matter with a doctor not
    financially connected with Atkins, and your insurance provider, you risk
    great economic damage.
    A discussion with a lawyer should also be done, if you do continue on Atkins
    despite this e-mail.

    This also includes the fact that life insurance benefactors will not receive
    their benefits.

    Sincerely,

    Katie Morris

  2. Oh my, and what will they do to all the doctors that endorse it, take away
    their license to practice medicine?
    Sue all the book publishing companies that publish the books pertaining to
    anything low-carb?

    Thanks for the laugh....I needed one today!

    I got something like that too, in my spam filter. And FTR, I'm not on Atkins.
    Clearly, someone just harvested e-mail addresses from this group, probably one
    of our charming anti-low-carb trolls.

    This after I read an article this morning in which a nutritionist claimed that
    people visited her who'd been on Atkins and now had "skyrocketing" cholesterol.
    No, I don't believe that really happened. At least she recommended a minimum
    of 160 grams of carbs, instead of the usual 300+. The crazy, lying-ass [censored].
    And yet if someone walked into her office and said "I've given up sugar and
    processed grains, and I'm eating more vegetables now", she'd be all smiles and
    full of praise. Then if you turned around and explained that that was, in
    fact, a low-carb diet, she'd tell you why your kidneys were about to fall out.

    It's very frustrating the [censored] we have to put up with.

    925 Market St
    San Francisco, CA 94103
    (415) 543-7005

    All in all, a pretty lame excuse for a hoax.
