A low-carbohydrate diet that changes your life.

Last week this pilot was arrested after failing a breath test. Now it appears that he was not drunk and had the blood alcohol level of a non drinker. It appears that dieting caused his breath to smell of drink. Read here.

All well and good. "He has been cleared and is over the moon. He is now free to resume his flying career," a Virgin Atlantic spokesman said. "It has been a tough week for him but he is now delighted."

All well and good but now he has his DNA and fingerprints on file and as we know having a record has implications. I wonder if that means he won't be able to fly to the US any more? If so, and that seems to be his job he may have to fly other routes. How many routes does Virgin Atlantic fly? Worst comes to the worst he could end up losing his job over this.

I know diets can have side effects but this must be one of the most extreme.

Yes, that is so about the diet. I was in training until last year and diets were part of it. It does do things to the breath and in other places. Poor guy.
