I'm embarrassed for the researchers' intellectual dishonesty. Shame!

I noticed one other thing:

"A team of researchers led by James W. Anderson, ..."

"Eight weight loss diets were analyzed in the UK study: ..., Dr. Andersonšs High-Fiber Fitness Plan, ..."

"... the best diet for general health promotion, weight loss and weight maintenance is a high-carbohydrate, high-fiber diet that is low in fat,˛ Anderson said."

I'm sure that the Dr. Anderson of the "Dr. Andersonšs High-Fiber Fitness Plan" is the same Dr. Anderson who led the research team here. I looked him up and he's published writings on high-fiber diets all over the place. His bio says, "He pioneered use of high fiber diets for treatment of diabetes and launched the 'oat bran craze.'"

So basically you've got a guy who's pretending to do a scientific study of 8 diets. One of them just happens to be his own. He concludes his is the best. How convenient.

Oh, by the way, although he is founder and president of the Obesity Research Network and has been pushing his diet for decades, in his picture he looks fat.
