I’m sorry but this is the dumbest thing I have ever read. It’s got to be a joke.

Ever hear of the Atkins diet? Low carb/high protein, high fat diets work.

Why should it be a joke? If you ask me, it’s not the fat, but all the artificial ingredients in food these days that will kill you.

Eat real food in moderation. The body understands real food. The artificial stuff just confuses it.

I agree with you. I'm damned sick of hearing about this crapola!

No the Roberts decision was the dumbest thing ever. Foods interact with each other. Absorption of certain vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are dependent upon what they are consumed with.

Actually, not so dumb at all. The essential vitamins A, D, E and K are fat soluble, fat has to be present for the body to assimilate these nutrients.

Again, this is government interference in our life. By promoting a high carb-low fat diet since the 70’s we have more obesity, heart disease and diabetes than ever. Fat is NOT the problem. Actually it’s highly processed food, ie bread, grains, pastas and others.

Why do you think that all the diet programs that are carb restrictive work? Aside from weight loss, blood fats (ie cholesterol levels) return to normal, blood pressure returns to normal, blood sugars return to normal with these diets. What these diets do is balance the sugar and insulin levels in the body that when high, promote fat storage.

I remember in the 60’s on restaurant menus there was a entree called a “Diet Plate” on it was a hamburger, cottage cheese and fresh fruit. That’s what women ate when they wanted to maintain their weight, which was much slimmer then, and then comes the Surgeon General telling us NO, NO that’s BAAAD!

I do not listen to what the government recommends because you can guarantee it’s always wrong. Somebody is making money from promoting whatever it is.
