[P]opular diet regimens such as The Atkins Diet and The South Beach Diet make a point to remind dieters to include healthy Omega-3s in these diets on a regular basis. Omega Protein produces OmegaPure(R), an odorless, taste-free Omega-3 rich fish oil approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for inclusion in several food categories. "The benefits of Omega-3s on heart health have been well known for a long time," said Joe von Rosenberg, President and CEO of Omega Protein. "We are not surprised that Omega-3s now are being linked with lowering the risk of various cancers, and we are optimistic that food companies will see the attractiveness of offering food products fortified with OmegaPure(R)."

The fad here is the low-carb craze; the gimmick, the fact that this particular incarnation of low-carb is not high in saturated fat, like the Atkins plan." The newsletter further states that the South Beach book is "replete with faulty science, glaring nutritional inaccuracies, contradictions and claims of scientific evidence minus actual evidence."
