There is a whole generation of professionals like doctors, nutritionists, and fitness experts, who had been trained and practiced the "fat is bad" message for many many years. These people put their reputation and carriers behind this assumption. And on top of it, the whole establishment is supporting the assumption that fat is bad for you. The food industry is making billions on low fat foods. The diet industry is making billions making "slim fast" and alike..
And here some a Weird doctor (Atkins) and tells us that fat is good, and carbs are bad, and fat doesn't make you fat, but carbs do.. ???
Do you think that a doctor who is practicing 30 and preaching to his patients not to eat fat, will now say "I'm sorry I was wrong" and I miss led you..??
Do you think that the food industry will now give up addictive and cheep to make high sugar food, and switch to more expensive high quality fat and protein?
Do you think the diet industry will support Atkins or any other lo carb diet and kill their cash cow?
No matter how many studies will be conducted, there will always be someone who stands to lose from this WOE and will spread FUD (Fear Uncertainty and Doubt) all over the media.. Welcome to free market...
