I suspect since PCTs were replaced by CCGs GPs have a bit more freedom to pursue health rather than blindly follow rules. However I confidently expect I will be dead (along with a few million others) and she will be retired before The Authorities budge from Low Fat.chris cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-22715993257939169972015-08-09T00:51:03.497+01:002015-08-09T00:51:03.497+01:00chris c said...

I have had a boost in the ratio of those in less than two years that is far better than any medication can achieve while my HBA1c has dropped to normal levels. Plus I have just realised that I haven't had a cold or flu etc since giving up sugar+wheat+beans+potatoes+vegetable oils. Considering that I work in a school that's a spectacular result. I don't exactly know which one to blame but I'm nevernot going back.<br /><br />Amongst the real diets that exist around the Mediterranean, my favourites are the ones with eg plates of charcuterie, or lardo, or great lashings of tasty cheeses and eggs ... with one or two small green leaves thrown in for colour and balance.<br /><br /><br />C.Passthecreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214860448492630477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-67484678547736644162015-08-01T23:36:45.286+01:002015-08-01T23:36:45.286+01:00I agree about the med diet how on earth can you de...I agree about the med diet how on earth can you define it, lets face even Ancel Keys version was seriously flawed: <br /><br /><i>Critics have pointed out that Dr. Keys violated several basic scientific norms in his study. For one, he didn't choose countries randomly but instead selected only those likely to prove his beliefs, including Yugoslavia, Finland and Italy. Excluded were France, land of the famously healthy omelet eater, as well as other countries where people consumed a lot of fat yet didn't suffer from high rates of heart disease, such as Switzerland, Sweden and West Germany. The study's star subjects—upon whom much of our current understanding of the Mediterranean diet is based—were peasants from Crete, islanders who tilled their fields well into old age and who appeared to eat very little meat or cheese.<br /><br />As it turns out, Dr. Keys visited Crete during an unrepresentative period of extreme hardship after World War II. Furthermore, he made the mistake of measuring the islanders' diet partly during Lent, when they were forgoing meat and cheese. Dr. Keys therefore undercounted their consumption of saturated fat. Also, due to problems with the surveys, he ended up relying on data from just a few dozen men—far from the representative sample of 655 that he had initially selected. These flaws weren't revealed until much later, in a 2002 paper by scientists investigating the work on Crete—but by then, the misimpression left by his erroneous data had become international dogma.</i><br /><br />I originally posted this to highlight more evidence to show there's no correlation between high cholesterol and CVD the diet as such is irrelevant, we know LCHF diet is far superior to any other in raising HDL and lowering trigs.<br /><br />GrahamLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-66618307530424189542015-08-01T15:13:04.895+01:002015-08-01T15:13:04.895+01:00Have an amazing weekend out there.
