Dieter Sues Atkins, Says Diet Clogged Arteries
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A man who blames his heart disease on the Atkins diet said on Thursday he is suing the privately held Atkins Inc. to force it to disclose what he called the risks of the popular high-fat, low-carb regimen.

Jody Gorran of Delray Beach, Florida, said he could show that he had low cholesterol and no heart disease before he started the diet, but quickly developed clogged arteries afterwards.

Now, what if he wins?
Will it lead to an avalanche of lawsuits clogging the judicial arteries of the Courts?
