A healthy bowel produces minimal flatulence, none of it foul smelling or causing pressure, swelling, or pain. Gas is, as Dr. Jensen describes it, “putrefactive fermentations” of undigested proteins.

My good friend Michelle loves the Atkins Diet (has adopted it as an apparently permanent lifestyle, in fact). She in no way embraces (or even acknowledges the benefits of) my lifestyle.
