If you are going to participate in a low carb woe then you must respect the fact that high fat has received alot more negativity than low fat. High fat eaters have been told that they are clogging their arteries, they are going to have heart attacks or strokes. It is actually high fat dieting that gets dissed and it is more often misunderstood. I have a newspaper article that states that obesity increased whith the popularity of lowfat dieting.
