Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / July 2010Dr. Andrew Weil: Fat or Carbs: Which is Worse?
First time poster. Just thought I'd share! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/andrew-weil-md/healthy-eating_b_629422.html  SignatureBill O'Meally "Wise Fool" -- Gandalf, _The Two Towers_ (The Wise will remove 'se' to reach me. The Foolish will not!) > First time poster.

It's also odd that Dr. Weil defends red meats, but doesn't include them in his healthy eating pyramid. In any event, if you go to the USDA National Nutrient Database <http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/>, you will see that most fat in beef is unsaturated.

What's happening is that more and more research is showing that low carb and high fat is the way to go, however, the diet preachers have to change their message slowly so people don't notice how they were wrong for so long. | It may be necessary, but it is unfortunate that the the good doctor is | also hustling for subscribers to his own health plan, i.e. is he doing [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] | <http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/>, you will see that | most fat in beef is unsaturated. > This article is a bit of a change in his attitude, his plan just hasn't > caught up yet.

Ansel Keys isn't the first doctor to get it wrong, for what ever reason (usually research grants). Women were experimented upon with diethylstibesterol, hormone replacement, and thalidomide. All touted by doctors as just the thing to cure you. If it hadn't been for a law suite filed by chiropractors in 1975, in response to the AMA trying to discredit their alternative approach to curing (a suite won and up-held in 1991) we wouldn't have access to alternative medicine today.

I don't guess they give the Nobel Prize in medicine to writers, but maybe they should in this case. |
