A forum member stated the following..
"So tell me this! Why is it that every health official and the government and anyone watching what they eat is adviced to keep the fat intake low. Now they don't tell you that for nothing."
Pneu replies.
I would suggest the following:
1. There is / has been a lot of money invested by food manufactures promoting 'low fat'.
2. To turn around and tell a whole generation that you may have seriously messed up dietary advise would be particularly damaging to the government that decided to do so; and thus being political animals they wont.
3. The weight of evidence to support low carb - high fat has only really been gaining mainstream momentum over the past 5 - 10 years.
I work closely with the diabetes team at my local PCT and they have to follow 'standard' advice if you ask them anything officially.. however there is a real interest in LCHF and active support of those who wish to undertake such regimes.
Further I would suggest as a method to control type II diabetes it has been demonstrated countless times by individuals on this forum to work.. not only as a means to control blood glucose; but in terms of offering additional benefits such as improved lipid profiles and blood pressure. LCHF is not a 'fad' or unproven method of control, it is recommend by a number of leading health authorities across the world.
I would suggest the best thing you can do is research your condition and take a holistic view of type II diabetes control.
Well done Pneu spotonski !
