I'll add more links shortly, but the claims are well-sourced, which is why the other side is having so much trouble shutting us down.
Low Carb / Keto PING!
I ran across this article from a few years ago showing the same debate in the UK. The backlash was unreal, with people (obviously after having received phone calls from their funding sources) running for the hills. I figured this weekend, being slow news, was a good time to post.
For those interested in some more reading, here is some other material.
The first one, just below, is their actual, 19 page report, complete with the 40 sources it cited:
This article is 5 days later and discusses the backlash and how the panel members were forced to run away from the report:
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/may/28/national-obesity-forum-advice-fat-dangerous
And this article is from almost 4 years ago, but related to the same topic.
Finally, this one is also UK, but on Alcohol Consumption. But note how ‘expert’ committees can be rigged, which is what this is discussing. Basically, they were using opinion pieces written by prohibitionists in place of scientific studies and thus concluded that the (legitimate) science-based studies were wrong - based on their opinion pieces.
Rush Limbaugh used to do that on his TV show when he referenced his own book, since everything written in a book is true (LOL). But everyone knew he was joking. He would say something like: “You don’t have to believe me that high taxes hurt the economy. It’s right here in this book. See, page 47, according to me ‘...high taxes stifle economic growth’. There it is, proving my point.”

Carbs Kill
Bread is bad
You will look like a potato is you eat them
Don’t be grain fed beef
I am convinced eating keto saved my life.
I am on a road to health now......still have work to do but getting there.....
Keto is hard on the kidneys.
Low carb is better.
Basically, just cut out wheat and sugar and you’re good to go.
If it’s processed beyond basic freezing or canning, don’t eat it.
We don’t eat bread, pasta, rice, sugar or corn syrup-sweetened items, or cereals, or naturally higher carb foods (corn, for instance). We do have some lower glycemic load items like plums, watermelon, blueberries, black or blueberries, or peaches (lower glycemic value for the serving size).
We have family members with diabetes and we have said we will do what we can to prevent it before getting such a condition.
Our jobs prevent us from burning any appreciable calories. If we were active, we’d have little issue with having more carbs.
Eating low or lower carb takes one’s appetite away except for when you are truly hungry. That’s a good way to sustain yourself properly and lose some weight.
I have lost over 30 pounds on Keto and I’ve been at it...maybe 2 months.
This sh*t is amazing. I’m not even suffering.
Nearly EVERYTHING that’s been pounded into my head is totally wrong.
Low carb aside, the odds of a food stylist finding 9 perfect avocado halves are worse than trying to win Powerball. ;)
Keto works!
I’ve lost 11 pounds on keto.
South Park nailed years ago when they said the food pyramid is upside down.
It's like when they first said Global cooling, then it's Global Warming, then Climate Change.
Sh*t-can all sweet drinks, all grains, all breads, 90% of fruit, 85% of oils.
Avocados are Krugerands, coconuts are boobs, bacon is fine.
Any nutritionist from over 10 years ago is a slobbering, cross-eyed retard.
Everyone needs to watch the documentary “The Magic Pill” on Netflix.
Really good article:
23 Studies on Low-Carb and Low-Fat Diets — Time to Retire The Fad
It Is Time to Retire The Fad
Keep in mind that all of these studies are randomized controlled trials, the gold standard of science. All are published in respected, peer-reviewed medical journals.
These studies are scientific evidence, as good as it gets, that low-carb is much more effective than the low-fat diet that is still being recommended all over the world.
It is time to retire the low-fat fad!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I’ve been passing this movie around to family/friends that I care about/love ..... starts a little slow, but it covers a wide-range of topics. Well worth the time to watch it.

Keto is the way to go.
The food pyramid and low fat is a scam.
large quantities of carbohydrates is the worst thing most people can do to their bodies... particularly highly processed ones.
Keep your carbs under 100 a day, and unless you have a specific health reason to avoid fats stop worrying about them

We desperately need saturated animal fats or we end up with Alzheimer’s.

The DASH Diet Plan
The DASH diet eating plan is a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, low fat or nonfat dairy. It also includes mostly whole grains; lean meats, fish and poultry; nuts and beans. It is high fiber and low to moderate in fat. It is a plan that follows US guidelines for sodium content, along with vitamins and minerals. In addition to lowering blood pressure, the DASH eating plan lowers cholesterol and makes it easy to lose weight. It is a healthy way of eating, designed to be flexible enough to meet the lifestyle and food preferences of most people
Statins will eventually be found to have caused more harm than good.
Eat real, unprocessed foods as much as possible in reasonable caloric amounts -- natural fat, both plant- and animal-based, is an important component of this diet.
Stay away from sugar.
That is all.
It's not rocket science.

Cholesterol is only a single number that means nothing on its own. Triglycerides, blood pressure, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, drug use, and genetics are what really matter.
bkmk
Sugar and simple carbohydrates are the real culprits behind obesity. Not fat. The only problem with fat is that it tends to be high calorie, but 1000 calories of fat is not as bad for you as 1000 calories of sugar or simple carbs. You don’t want to start eating 10 slices of bacon at every meal, but fat was never the problem. Neither was cholesterol consumption.
Don’t take in too many calories. Avoid sugar and simple carbs. That is really the only guideline you need. And eat your fruit and veggies.
Man. They are slow.
