A blast from the past Denise Minger (author of Death by Food Pyramid) writes:
Quote:
The low carb community shot itself in the foot by attaching its validity to a speculative model/mechanism and centering itself as the “good guy” in a moralized version of nutritional history.
It’s now in the unfortunate position of having to defend that model order to uphold its own narrative.
If low carb really has the metabolic advantages proposed by the Carbohydrate-Insulin Model, there would be no need to torture data, bully scientists, dismiss studies under wild conspiratorial speculation, hold research to bizarre double standards of criticism based on whether it supports or invalidates a low-carb advantage, or position legitimate scientists as “enemies” simply because they produced data that contradicts the CIM.
The evidence would show up readily, leave echoes in both observational and clinical studies, and not be such a wild goose chase to find.
The worst part is, low carb probably really is great for certain people/contexts, but the fixation on the Carbohydrate-Insulin Model needing to be right keeps the community focused on fighting its (entirely imaginary) opponents rather than actually figuring out what’s true.
Opponents who themselves don’t even see themselves as opponents because they’re actually just interested in following the data and adapting their theories accordingly. It’s so weird watching a war in which only one side sees itself as fighting

This vaguetweet is in reference to ~KevinH_PhD getting mobbed by Low Carb True Believers for the cardinal sin of conducting a study that did not support the carbohydrate-insulin model
Dr Eenfeldt retweeted Denise's post with his comment: "Low carb works great for many (science confirms it), but this is unfortunately too true"
Like Dr Eenfeldt, Dr Naiman and Marty Kendall, more low carb influencers now understand that the Carbohydrate-Insulin model is incomplete, and your Energy Toxicity needs to be addressed. Six good articles on Insulin at this post:
