What if it's
All Been a Big Fat Lie?
Gary discusses how the low-fat-is-good-health
hypothesis has now effectively failed the test of time. In
particular, that we are in the midst of an obesity & diabetes
epidemic which is coincident with the progression of the low-fat
dogma.
Dr Bernstein’s comments
regarding the Gary Taubes article:
It’s about time that
the truth finally hits the headlines. Let’s hope that
Gary Taubes’ concern for the general public and for
those who do not yet have diabetes will trickle down to concern
by physicians for their diabetic patients. As the viewers
of this site should realize by now, the adverse effects of
high carbohydrate diets upon diabetics are far more brutal
and occur much more rapidly than for the general public.
With the hopeful inversion
of the “food pyramid” for the general population,
perhaps the ADA will come to realize that normal blood sugars
are not only necessary but are easy to obtain. I would hope
that within the next few years, the ADA will give in to this
concept and recommend normal blood sugars instead of guidelines
that diabetics should have twice the blood glucose levels
as non-diabetics.
