Sure, having some "experts" vote makes much more sense than reviewing the relevant literature.
In the diabetes diets category, reversal of diabetes doesn't seem to be considered a relevant factor.

• Best Diets Overall combines panelists' ratings in all seven categories. All categories were not equally weighted. Short-term and long-term weight loss were combined, with long-term ratings getting twice the weight. Why? Quick results are important after the holidays or when summer looms, but a diet's true test is whether it can be sustained for years. That's especially the case for those who are overweight or obese; losing as little as 5 percent of body weight can dramatically reduce the risk of chronic illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease.

They were looking for diets that were barely effective over extended periods of time. Or maybe I'm just feeling snarky.  |
