I never said otherwise. Case studies is not the same as success stories. I think every Star McDougaller profiled by McDougall represents hundreds of other people not profiled, so by no means saying only thousands have been helped. Although, 50 percent sounds like an amazing retention rate for any diet after one year, especially one that is so opposite the standard American diet. Would also be interesting to factor in what their diet was after they stopped doing Ornish, as far as whether it was as unhealthy as before, etc. My blog is just my opinion? I never said otherwise.

If you are talking about the population in the Castro district it would represent a larger percentage! Not everyone can eat a very low fat diet like yourself and one size does not fit all. From Michael Dansinger, JAMA 2005 Apr 54 (4): 306 about Ornish: 50% of the pParticipants of the Ornish plan could not stick with it for greater than one year! I would hardly call that a successful diet and too extreme to maintain. You know what they say about opinions (which this is) they are like assholes, everyone has one! 1000 of case studies is still a small percentage of the population!
