Sugar-free diet alert: Yes, sugar is bad for you... but cutting it out totally could kill you, experts warn !

Yes folks it's in the Daily Mail so it must be true.

"Catherine Collins, of the British Dietetic Association, said: ‘Fad diet promoters never let sound nutrition get in the way of persuasive marketing to promote their myths and generate profit"

Is this the British Dietetic Association who promotes a diet of slow death to diabetics, hanging on to out of date and bent science to keep their members in a job. No more than a trade union and propaganda outfit for dietitians.

Much of the BDA information has no scientific merit whatsoever, but it keeps the members safe. Take my advice, if your dietitian is telling you base your diet on starch carbs and dump saturated fat (most in the UK do) dump the dietitian.

Never forget, it's your limbs, your eyesight, your kidneys. To the average dietitian it's a pay check and a job. Remember some very high profile BDA and US dietitians are on the sugar, junk food and fad diet promoters payrolls.

From the BDA website here.

"What can you eat? Adults and children with Type 1 diabetes should eat a healthy diet, just the same as somebody without diabetes e.g. it needs to be low in saturated fat, high in fibre and include a variety of fruit and vegetables."

Many UK type one diabetics follow the BDA dietary recommendations, perhaps that is why 93% of UK type one's fail to get to a safe HbA1c. 

This way to the DM dross.
