“Very noisy”? No kidding !
Cutting carbs can increase your risk of diabetes
It’s unbelievable what lengths people will go to to try and discredit a low carb diet, they must be starting to get worried if they have to hit main stream media with releases like this to try and add to their scare campaign
Huh. The Harvard School of Public Health must still be getting a lot of its funding from the sugar industry. Willett was one of of Frederick Stare’s students, and Stare was a good friend of Ansel Keys’.
You can’t tell me that a group of scientists and dietary luminaries who are part of a Consortium such as this just may have their moral and scientific compasses ever so slightly off true North. Call me a sceptuc
It is. It just isn’t in quite the direction his benefactors would prefer. Or else it doesn’t mean what he thinks it means.
You’re absolutely right. How could I ever have doubted their motives?
In a bid to increase profits.

I like how their website has zero studies. Essentially zero content.
Pretty big tell there.
So Scare Tactics, Appeal to Emotion, Appeal to Authority.
Are they interested in nutrition or running for office?
LOL.
We cant let the other macronutrients suffer !
We need to start a Fat Quality Consortium

“…in fact the research is very clear that when you include whole grain it is associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and of weight gain”
I don’t think there is anything wrong with that statement. They are most likely suggesting a replacement of refined carbs with unrefined whole grains.
“…cereal fibre found in whole grains is most closely associated with reduced colon cancer risk”
Based on a quick sciencedirect-overview, that also sounds quite reasonable.
Ok, I am dumb as a rock and have a low I.Q. but the consensus was that high starch, high sugar and low fiber causes high insulin with long duration and increases the chances of developing diabetes, cardiovascular disease and colon cancer
Isn’t this a HCLF diet
And a diet with “quality carbohydrates” “a full compliment of micro-nutrients and antioxidants” those low in starch and sugar, and high in fiber is associated with good health
And this is a low carb diet
Study of one: My arthritis cleared within 10 days of quitting “healthy” whole grains.
I was discussing diet with my vegan nephew the other day, we were talking about refined carbs. ‘I avoid refined carbs’ he says, ‘my diet is full of whole foods - lots of veg, soy and pasta. I avoid bread’. I pointed out that pasta is made from flour like bread and he said it was ok because it’s whole wheat flour…
You can’t refine a food much more than turning it to dust so that the body can actually digest it.
If grains are so good for you, why must the products made from them be “fortified” and “enriched”?!?!
