Nutrition science trial of the century starts today.

You can follow the low carb trial of Professor Tim Noakes live here. No need to tell the folks here how important this trial is for low carb.

I hope Professor Noakes knows he has people all over the world rooting for him! GO TIM! :-) Sounds like he has a great legal team on his side....

Hi Tess

I am sure Tim knows he is a hero to people like us. Let's hope we see a good outcome to this travesty of common sense.

The nutritional trial of the century was that of Ancel Keys in the low carb and Paleo kangaroo court.

Pre Keys there WERE no "epidemics" of metabolic disease. Now we're on target to rival the US for obesity and diabetes/prediabetes, and coming shortly Alzheimers, as I'm sure you have noticed. Will be interesting to see how the DEcrease in obesity and CVD in Sweden continues.

Keys was the primogenitor of the Mediterranean Diet as a dietary mode,people were dropping like flies from heart attacks in the US but not in southern Europe so that's where he went to do his research, he could hardly return and recommend low carb based on his findings nor did he suggest everybody should eat a diet high in refined carbs. Darling of the Paleo movement, debunker of the China Study, speaker on the low carb cruise and return guest on Jimmy's podcast Denise Minger has just written a blog post entitled "The truth about Ancel Keys:we've got it all wrong" perhaps you should read it.

Denise Minger is that the person who has just done a 180 just in time to coincide with her new book?

The only book I know of by her is Death By Food Pyramid which could well sum up your blog's orientation.

Tell me anon

Why are almost all negative commenters and trolls anonymous, hence I never take them seriously. But you come back any time, feel free to add to our page views.

Are you living in a time warp pal? it was nearly four years ago she wrote that blog post.

Interestingly she did state Keys on dietary cholesterol: one thing he got right

The evidence—both from experiments and from field surveys—indicates that the cholesterol content, per se, of all natural diets has no significant effect on either the serum cholesterol level or the development of atherosclerosis in man.

That's true of dietary cholesterol but saturated fat is a different matter.Four years ago,that would put it right at the heart of the low carb and Paleo take off. Her October 2015 blog post is entitled "In defence of low fat: a call for some evolution of thought" with a sentence in bold script- "We can't ignore evidence in order to preserve an ideology" she also discusses this on a recent Latest In Paleo podcast.You may be correct in assuming low carb is the best way forward for diabetics but you expand that advice on here to the general public.

We don't say the general public should be following a low carb diet, but they would benefit from a reduced carb diet which could go some way to cut the the rise in diabetes.
