Actually I agree that banning entire food groups is probably bad for you, that's why I do eat carbs, from veggies, high fat dairy, and the occasional fruit. Perhaps these same people should have come out against banning entire food groups when Dean Ornish decided that cutting fats to practically zero was a good thing.
And who honestly thinks a low-fat diet is more sustainable in the long run than a low-carb diet? That is absolutely beyond stupid and ridiculous. It's much easier to eat low-carb than it is to eat low-fat.

Yeah, I thought it was funny how they used comments like "There were concerns" "probably" and "potentially" and not one shred of actual proof of any of these things. What a shocker.
I know that there is NO WAY that I could do low fat for any appreciable amount of time. I tried many times in the past and gave up shortly after because of starvation and feeling incredibly ill. Low carb IS much easier if people would just follow the plan as written.
