It’s time for the low-fat dietary advice to change, as it becomes clearer and clearer that it just isn’t working and might even promote disease.
At least for people with metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance – a large part of the population – it could be a great idea to start recommending a real-food low-carb diet. This could have the potential to combat all these lifestyle-related diseases that lead to early death and massive human suffering.

American are being killed slowly and painfully by their own food industry.

The U.S. is one of the unhealthiest affluent nations. We’ve all seen the numbers – adult obesity rates have doubled since the 1980 guidelines were released and they are set to increase by another 50 percent by 2030. Childhood obesity and diabetes have tripled. A recent viewpoint in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) confirmed data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that two-thirds of U.S. adults are overweight and roughly 25 million have diabetes.
For three decades the nutritional guidance has promoted low-fat eating to promote heart health. It is now becoming clear that the guidance was based on scant evidence and there are now more credible scientific studies that show the current nutrition recommendations have had it wrong. This wouldn’t be the first time. We have been told that eggs were bad, butter was bad, and margarine was good. All of those recommendations have been reversed, but was there ever any solid evidence to decry them in the first place, or were those making guideline recommendations looking to ratify preconceived hypotheses?

Diabetes on yleisempi Amerikassa kuin koskaan. Lihavuus on saavuttanut eeppiset mittasuhteet. Lähes joka kymmenennellä lapsella on ei-alkoholiperäinen rasvamaksasairaus (NAFLD). Sokeri on kaikkien näiden ongelmien juurisyy.

American adults continue to put on the pounds. New data shows that nearly 40 percent of them were obese in 2015 and 2016, a sharp increase from a decade earlier, federal health officials reported Friday.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease affects up to a third of Americans, taking a toll on our collective health. Nutrition and lifestyle changes can turn it around.
