My take on the issue of political approval of health claims is that, as always, it is financially motivated. Big pharmaceutical conglomerates release new drugs every week, with clinical success rates often less than 10%, but billions of $$ invested. Natural treatments of course, can't be patented, so not much profit to be made. Yet gov't and public health agencies expect 100% proof of efficacy before official endorsement is given. Sickening, isn't it?

Einstein's theory of relativity has NEVER been proven by the standard "scientific" requirement of double-blind, peer-reviewed trial. That's why it's still called a theory. But we know that it works. Otherwise, the NASA space program would never have gotten off the ground!!

And in the face of mounting evidence that low-carb, high protein diets are effective at reducing many health risks, gov'ts and agencies still preach and endorse the old LOWFAT way, with 95% failure rate. Why?? $$$$$$$$$$$$

Just my opinion, of course.
