Have reviewed some of the claims in this paper and they are not supported by the associated references. For example figure 3: "Combined effect of Pritikin lifestyle intervention on blood glucose and need for oral hypoglycemic medication or insulin therapy. (Data from Refs. 38, 39, 40, 41, 43.)" 38, 40, 41, and 43 do not even mention the diet let alone support the conclusions?
