Don't feel bad Lauri, some health professionals have educated themselves and are realizing the health benefits. My mother is a critical care nurse in Southern CA also and has been low carbing for two years and got me started. Many cariologists in her hospital reccomend carb controlling diets, which apparently irritates the hospital nutritionist who, despite their supposed profession, are quite ignorant. Progress is going to be slow. It is human nature not to want to admit you are wrong. The medical community, nor the government, is eager to discuss how low-fat may not be the magic bullet they once claimed.
