This is a great example of the Empire (Harvard, in this case) striking back, and it's thus rightly debunked in this piece. I had earlier read a news article about this 'study' (which is a very liberal use of the term, as pointed out in this piece), and it didn't mention the carb levels...because, as far as the author (and the cause) is concerned, Harvard is now on board saying 'low-carb' is bad, so why should the reporter put any of his 5 years of drinking and drugs (in Journalism school) to work to see if Harvard is blowing smoke?

LOW CARB / KETO PING!!!

As I’ve mentioned numerous times, the Left will fight Keto tooth-and-nail, as they fully understand that people demanding animal fat cannot co-exist with their plans to end meat production world-wide, so now they engage Harvard.

On a related topic, one of my ping-ee’s reminded me of the following article, which I had posted here 2 months ago, showing how being in Ketosis helps out in fighting off influenza - which may well be our best defense against Coronavirus, at least until a vaccine is developed.

“Ketogenic diet helps tame flu virus”

Only a plant-based, whole food diet, can prevent and reverse most chronic disease. Diets like keto, Paleo, and low-carb are damaging for the human body and long-term health. They are popular because people like to hear good things about their bad habits.

carb cycling works for me. Low grain type carbs for 4 or more days (more days if looking to lose weight) and then bump them up for a day then go back to lower carbs. No counting or whatever nonsense. plenty of water to flush body systems. some exercise ( pool workout mostly )

The bible is my guide for food types to eat - it mentions eating grains, bread, meat, fruit etc. I try to buy foods and prepare them rather then pre-made foods.

Doctors do so much damage to people and media helps them by promoting these wacky approaches to eating. Just a reminder God knows best, man is wrong often, and with medical community they ususally wait til they cash in for a while then start saying - oh, maybe we made a mistake.

Harvard is one of the worst...The reality is that Doctors and nutritionist today have led to 70% overweight population and skyrocketing diabetes. That’s 70%. The media doesn’t report this and instead, just parrots what the so called “experts” say.

People who point out the medical community duplicity, and advocates are tarred as flat earthers, climate deniers, or anti vaxxers. Keto is described as a “fad”.

The low carb diet I was on before involved a max of 10 grams of carb per day for 7 weeks then increased slowly to 50 grams.

Your diet depends upon our genes and what your ancestors ate.

Everyone ca benefit from cutting processed foods and cooking their own potions and vegetables.

I follow the JERF diet - Just Eat Real Food
