O'REILLY: In the "Back of the Book" segment tonight, this low-carb diet deal is all over the place. Bread, potatoes, pasta, all out. Steak, butter, eggs, in. The Atkins Diet began this craze. And now some doctors are saying it's madness. With us now is Samantha Heller, the senior clinical nutritionist at NYU Medical Center.

Everywhere I go, it's low-carb, low-carb, low-carb. And I know at least a dozen people that are doing this kind of thing. And I wasn't surprised to say -- to hear today that doctors are saying, hey, you better not do this. What will happen if you embrace this Atkins concept?

SAMANTHA HELLER, NYU MEDICAL CENTER: Well, particularly the Atkins concept of low-carb, which is eating a lot of butter, cheese, steak, animal foods high in something called saturated fat. The problem is saturated fat causes heart disease and cancer.
