Full title: Sweden Becomes First Western Nation to Reject Low-fat Diet Dogma in Favor of Low-carb High-fat Nutrition

Just in time for the holidays! Bring on the bacon-wrapped turkey and gravy - but no mashed potatoes - sniff :(

and I will continue to eat what I want, whenever I want it and in the quantities that I desire.

The world could use more Swedish Westerns...

Somewhere, Dr. Atkins is smiling.

Oh God. I wish we could still get pork chops with fat on them.

In Norway. chops come with all fat cut away. Disappeared by the same subhumans of darkness that disappeared the lightbulbs.

Also lutefisk has life extending benefits. Stop whining. It’s good for you.

[diverteach]

They're doing something right!

Two books by Gary Taubes deal with the (pseudo)science and politics behind the low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet; “Good Calories,Bad Calories” and “Why We Get Fat”.

The scientific fraud behind the prevailing diet ‘wisdom’ is so reminiscent of the scientific fraud behind the theory of anthropogenic global warming.

[Arm_Bears]

Amen.

No government has any business telling citizens what they can eat.

Or drive.

Or see by.

Or poop in.

This study is absolutely meaningless without pictures of Swedish women posted solely to scientificaly ilustrate that a fatty diet does not contribute to an obese feminine shape.

Thirty years ago, give or take, the US Government and associated busybodies decreed that the healthiest diet was a low fat high carbohydrate regimen. The result was the current epidemic of metabolic syndrome and diabetes. Now, the once degenerate government of Sweden has told the truth the USDA and fellow colluders would not tell: some fat is necessary (even the Dean Ornish heart healthy diet says this), while heavy reliance on carb calories will kill you.

[wjcsux]

Not a guilty one in the entire group!

[VerySadAmerican]

There is one factor in determining heart disease. It’s called “Who’s your daddy?”

"Somewhere, Dr. Atkins is smiling."

So True!

A radio talk show host brings this subject up all the time. Can’t remember that guy’s name, I think it starts with an “R.” Nicholas P. Money interviewed Cecil Terence Ingold (1905–2010), a leading light in the twentieth-century study of mycology. His words exactly: “Yet for a man who lived so long and knew so much, his advice to the neophyte was limited. When I asked him for tips for matching his vigorous longevity, he uttered one unhelpful word: ‘Genes.’ ”

And I’m pretty sure in 30 years, this new diet model will be identified as the cause of some new health crisis, and the central planning authority will hand us down a new incorrect regimen.

The scientific fraud behind the prevailing diet ‘wisdom’ is so reminiscent of the scientific fraud behind the theory of anthropogenic global warming.

There is no scientific fraud with the diet recommendations. The problem is that many physicians--most of whom are *not* trained in research--do huge studies and crunch megabytes of data to come up with correlations. And they make the mistake of thinking that finding a correlation proves something, when it only indicates that more research is needed.
