I do. One of them turns his nose up, but he'll get over it. Imagine
their learning curve when diabetics doing lc have better labs. I'd say
there is going to be a major shift called for in diabetic education. I
know I'm not the only loud mouth out there. ;-)

I ain't  dead yet, and I'm in year 6 of my low carb regimen. All my numbers
have gone in the right direction, too, and I eat plenty of natural saturated
fat as in cheese and meat.

To support your very powerful and frightening statement, please point me to
studies of people on long term LOW CARB diets who developed serious health
problems due to sat fat intake.

I have seen nothing to convince me that saturated fat is problem when
combined with a low carb diet.  The only reasons that the diet authors have
jumped on this anti-sat fat bandwagon recently is because the public is so
brainwashed by the cholesterol drug manufacturers anti fat propaganda that
they gave up trying to assure them that saturated fat was not a problem so
that they could sell even more diet books. It's about money, not science.

Every study that I have ever seen that shows that saturated fat is
associated with heart disease studied people who were eating a diet with 200
grams of carbohydrate a day.  I eat about 60 gm.

I believe that if you keep your blood sugar within normal ranges and your
carbs under the ketogenic threshold, you can eat all the sat fat you want as
long as you stay away from hydrogenated trans fats which are, indeed.
damaging.
