DCUK Quote of the week !

"It is a fair point that the NHS does need clinical evidence before they can change their advice. The unfair irony is that the advice they give today is not evidence based at all, it's basically a very large guess that turned out to be wrong. There is massive, clear evidence that this is the case. But there is not yet a mass of evidence to prove, large scale, that LCHF is a valid alternative (obviously the entire country of Sweden as a laboratory doesn't count! ;-) )

In my experience I have found almost all dieticians to be fiercely resistant and condemnatory, throwing out a lot of fear. These dieticians are (in my experience) universally unable to argue their position from evidence. Which is not surprising as there is no evidence in favour of high carb diets and plenty of evidence against, and no evidence in favour of low fat and plenty of evidence against. The dieticians show that they are not evidence based HCPs and are basically dogma-based, learned it once and never change. The sad thing is that due to the specialisation of the medical profession, nurses and doctors generally defer to dieticians on diet issues, even within their own specialism of diabetes. So if comes to an argument between a patient and a dietician, the nurse or doctor will tend to side with the dietician."

Spiker on the flog here.

As always, the high priestess of high carb, high medication, carboholic phoenix junk pusher, had much to say ! So much to say at the flog, but next to zero to say on her own blog. As you can see, she has linked the awful Carbsane in her "I enjoy these blogs" list. Says all you need to know about the drug shill.
