Now, five decades after
adoption of these guidelines as official nutrition policy, we have a
generation of obese Americans, beset with chronic diseases. Not
only have the guidelines failed to keep their promise of preventing
cardiovascular diseases,
Even the "right" guidelines (approved by a.s.d) wouldn't prevent all the
overeating & undermoving that has become so prevalent.

It may not prevent it all, but actively bad guidelines are
exacerbating the problem. And how do you know if it hasn't
been tried? Until the ADA, AHA, USDA and the dieticians of
the world use our guidelines that is just an unproven
assumption.
I would define our guidelines as eating a balanced (neither
low-fat nor extreme low-carb),
moderate-in-all-macronutrients diet with a minimum of 30
minutes daily exercise for non-diabetics and as that
modifi9ed by test, test, test for diabetics.
We certainly have enough examples here to refute your
statement; as do the ADA forum members over the past few
years and the members of several other forums I read. The
examples I have seen here and on those forums of people who
have changed their lives by following the '"right"
guidelines (approved by a.s.d)' belie your statement.
It's no wonder people give up and stop trying on official
nutrition advice that has been repeatedly proven not to
work.
Some further quotes from the paper (note that "the
intervention" was the low-fat diet):
"It was concluded that among postmenopausal women, a low-fat
dietary pattern did not result in a statistically
significant reduction in invasive breast cancer risk over an
8.1-year mean follow-up period."
"Despite dietary changes, there was no evidence that the
intervention reduced the risk of invasive colorectal
cancer."
"It was concluded that over a mean of 8.1 years, dietary
intervention (reduced total fat intake and increased intake
of vegetables, fruits, or grains) did not significantly
reduce the risk of CHD, stroke, or CVDin postmenopausal
women."
"Medical education covers such a tremendously wide range and
volume of information necessary to the diagnosis and
treatment of disease that ancillary subjects such as
nutrition are given only superficial treatment. Physicians
rightfully have assumed that nutritional science can provide
whatever information they require.
Medical organizations must serve their members by demanding
current, unbiased, accurate information from nutrition
scientists.
As patients look to their physicians for all manner of
advice on health, including nutrition, physicians will
ultimately be held responsible for errors. Physicians must
also recognize that there is no drug that will cure a
nutritional disease"
That last sentence is one of the most important in the
article.
