Wow, who would have thought?

Perhaps he should work on specifying what should constitute the 55% carb intake as well. A carb is not a carb is not a . . . . |
This study is being torn apart by every side of the debate. 60 % carbs is defined as the high-carb risk, but 55% is OK? Really?
Low Fat proponents are unhappy with the headlines (Low fat diets could kill you!) :rolleyes: low carbers read this study as not LC enough http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...et-study-finds/ http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/health/...ancet-1.4266130 |

Which goes to show that unless you clearly define your terms there is no way of knowing what this all means. Language can be used to obfuscate rather than elucidate. Jean |
This is why I kept saying we don't have answers yet?
I want to see the data from Cholesterol level vs Low Carb High Fat High Carb High Fat Low Carb Low Fat High Carb Low Fat ... And any arguments with those conditions vs carb/fat above. FYI Grizzly Bears Are Turning Vegetarian Thanks to Climate Change https://www.thedailymeal.com/grizzl...te-change/82917 ... Berries are higher in sugar than salmon. They contain less protein and are easier for the body to break down, and scientists say the bears are gaining weight as a result. ... |
Grizzly bears go from being vegetarian to carnivorous depending on what's available. How long were these scientists watching? I've done a lot of fieldwork in grizzly country over the past 40 years and when wild raspberries are at their peak, that is all they eat for ~3 wks ... the better to put on fat for hibernation. You ain't seen nothing until you've come upon a knee-high pile of steaming grizzly sh!t full of raspberry seeds (hint ... start walking backwards the way you came from). Other times, like late winter/early spring, the turds contain only fur and bones. And some years there are better berry crops depending on spring rainfall and absence of killing frosts during flowering.

CBS too. All the mainstream media! Whoa!

Large diet study suggests it's carbs, not fats, that are bad for your health
|
After reading the articles, it's clear that the experts are still on the quest to find the ideal human diet that applies to everyone. Also, the emphasis on lean meat indicates that many still have a negative prejudice towards fat. It's a small step in the right direction.

What, no mention of the Mediterranean Diet? :rolleyes:

This story is everywhere.

Black bears, too. They love dry cat food, layer pellets, scratch, and rabbit pellets, but tear apart old stumps looking for insects. Our local bears haven't gotten hungry enough to try for our chickens or rabbits, but I suppose they could. |

This cracked me up. Imaging the scary sight of grizzlies on a sugar high craving meat -- you better get out of there :agree: |

He's right. It can't. So let's stop making recommendations to eat a low fat, plant based, low-heme, boiled instead of barbecued, "Mediterranean," "Nordic," "prudent," hearthealthywholegrain etc. diet based on observational studies like this one, let's not just apply that criticism of endlessly pointless, stupid, money-wasting epidemiology to the studies that don't feed our bias. |
