The Dukan diet ends up in court

Its diet of Wonders (which promises to make you lose weight by eating mostly protein, but without worrying about counting calories) will also be among the most popular celebrities (Jennifer Lopez and Gisele Bundchen just to name a few) and future royalty ( See Kate Middleton, the wife of William of England fresh), but Pierre does not seem Dukan collect as much popularity among other nutritionists not only French, who accused him of jeopardizing the health of its aficionados.

One in particular - Professor Jean-Michel Cohen - has not been particularly kind to Dukan in an interview with a French magazine, where he described the diet invented by my colleague, imaginative and dangerous because it would create a number of diseases ranging from increased cholesterol, breast cancer, and gotten them to this accusation of libel.

The case will be discussed in court tomorrow and although the claim for damages is limited (15 thousand euro), it seems that in dance there are actually tens of millions of Euros in royalties and profits, as both Cohen Dukan who write books about the quality of their diets become regular best-seller worldwide.

"The allegations of defamation are absolutely ridiculous - it's Advocate Richard Malka, who defends Cohen - because the entire medical community is unanimous in finding that the Dukan diet has serious health risks." In the interview of contention Cohen had argued that it was necessary to lose weight on a diet of his own invention, divided into four patterns ranging from 900 calories to 1600 calories a day, and of course to do regular exercise.

Too bad for both, however, that their diets (along with 13 others, more or less known) have been criticized by Anses (health food safety agency - http://www. Anses. Fr /) to Late last year because they were considered dangerous to the health of their followers
