Ask yourself, how long would large food companies and big pharma, financially support these organisations, if their dietary recommendations resulted in less sales, and loss of revenue. A low carb diet is not a no carb diet. The foods shown below, have been included in my low carb (50 carbs per day) diet for nine years. Countless hospital blood tests confirm, my diet has caused no ill effects whatsoever, in fact the contrary. My Doctor describes my diabetes control as excellent. It is worth noting, the NHS annual audited stats show, over 90% of type one diabetics and over 70% of type two diabetics, fail to get to a safe level of blood glucose control, let alone excellent.
Why do I call these organisations Black OP's outfits. It is my opinion, these organisations are doing diabetics great harm, and are perpetuating the epidemics of obesity and often linked type two diabetes. Many are no more than wolves in sheep clothing, far too many, have taken the thirty pieces of silver.

Except for my addiction to potatoes, which I try to limit, we eat low carb around here as there is diabetes in both our families.
It seem the two health reason here is diabetic and or high blood pressure. But our doctors and govt are connect to our pharmacial companies. Insteas of common sense heath habits.
Coffee is on
No doctors try to recommend low carb or otherwise, medication first always!
i have tried diets recommended for MS and have not had the results i have with medication. i could never eliminate carbs all together, i have tried and it was too hard. i just try to eat healthy, i don't feel that some bread or some potatoes here and there are a problem!!
Hi Debbie, primarily Eddie was talking about diabetics here.
We appreciate there are many medical conditions that require medication.
All the best Jan
I eat low carb a lot of the time and try to eat lots of vegetables (especially in the summer and fall when I have the veggies from my garden). I do eat carbs sometimes, but I think it is a good idea to try changing our diets when we need to- and of course, sometimes medication is needed.
