The recommendation to lower fat might actually have somepotentialharm.

The committee noted concern that "the previous priority given to a
'low-fat
intake' may lead people to believe that, as long as fat intake is low,
the
diet will be entirely healthful.

That's as ridiculous as saying that if someone eats low-carb it will
lead them to think that as long as the carbs are low they can eat all
the greasy fat meat and cheese they want. �But I see that it has given
a ray of hope to all the low-carb or the highway advocates here. �They
embrace this exciting revelation.

Doctors and nutritionists for many years have recommended a "balanced"
diet. �The minute one goes too far one way or another then they have
subverted modern science and just plain common sense. �Good luck with
that.

Did you actually read the article?

Alan, T2, Australia.

Why would he want to do that? �It might introduce something
inconvenient into his thoughts.-

Wow. Et tu, Robert?

Well Krom, here is a good example about what I was talking about.
Robert is someone who, ever since I can remember, I've posted nothing
but support for. He mostly posts links to diabetes articles that go
unacknowledged by most of the group but I've tried to thank him for
the good information as much as possible. So why would he be an Alan
jocker and take a shot at me?

Must be the monthly "Hate Kurt Day" again in a.s.d. LOL

But seriously, what has become a regular occurrence in here, even more
than usual, is the constant attacks against anyone who has a differing
opinion. Forget about Gantlet, rk, Guy, and me, there seems to have
been a lot of other people lately like Gys and Randy who are attacked
because they disagree with the mob mentality or post something that
goes against popular opinion. If this group continues to squelch any
and all opinions that don't fit in with the vocal mob who dominate
this newsgroup then it is destined to become what it has bordered on
for years now - nothing but an anti-ADA, anti-medical profession, low-
carb commercial.
