Actually it is pretty low. Reading the quack watch list three are a lot more than low carb. The percentage here is low as well. Anecdotal evidence is fun. My brother is a verterinarian. The colloidal mineral movement was started by a veterinarian according to the quack watch list. My brother just my parents to take colloidal minerals. The result was they appeared and acted a decade younger. Some of this quackery stuff works for some people. It's how they get popular. That's what the scientific method is all about, in fact. Questioning conventional wisdom. Trying to falsify a theory or hypothesis. Correct. A good theory will survive attacks. And bad theories have little to work with other than attacking the alternative. The low fat advocates are gradually learning exactly how weak their stance has been. They missed the selection bias issue. It's easy to find people who thrive on low fat. It's easier to find people who are damaged by low fat. When you hear scientists saying that there's a "consensus," it's a clue that they aren't really scientists. False. Scientist often are in majority agreement about their theories exactly because they have been well tested and survived many falsifying attempts. What else would you expect them to do in such a case? Thomas Kuhne "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions". The strength of the concensus is always highest when it's disproved. It has to work that way because occasionally a science comes along that is just plain fact that will never get overturned. We now have photographs of atoms. This means that the concensus is what an economist would call a "trailing indicator". The concensus in favor of low fat has been declining for a long time. People finally started noticing how many people are hurt by the endless pressure to low fat. This does not mean the all scientific consensuses are false. Sometimes a consensus is false but science is self correcting. Eventually the truth is discovered. |

James Warren wrote: Kidney damage is a risk of a high protean diet that has little carbs or fat. Add some carbs or fat, preferably fat, and the risk is minimized. In the 1970s when his first book became so popular the AMA tried to pull Dr A's medical license over the kidney damage issue. His defense was simple - Show him even one case of anyone without any previously existing kidney damage who suffered kidney damage while following the directions in his book. Dr A died waiting for the AMA to offer up even one case. He died with his license. They never produced a single case. That's only one reason why low carbers have stopped worrying abut the endless statements that high fat "might" cause problems. Not one case has been produced of low carb meduim protein high fat causing problems. The kidney issue is better than Dr A claimed. There have been people with prior kidney damaged who improved from low carbing. Not a risk I personally would have taken but it does happen. LC and high fat go together. I don't think that will cause any problems. A poster, I forget who, said that LC did not necessarily mean high fat. If a diet is both low carb and low fat then it necessarily must be nearly all protean. I believe, without checking, that the literature will support the idea that an all protean diet may cause kidney damage. I am open to evidence to the contrary. |

Sorry, but you are indeed a moron. That AIDS is a scam and caused by drug use, not HIV is so overwhelming known to be pure crap that it's not even worth discussing. There is a MOUNTAIN of evidence that says Duesburg is a moron. Just simple things, like the fact that perfectly healthy people ranging from grandmas to kids have contracted HIV from blood transfusions alone is enough to tell anyone with a brain that Duesburg is a fool. Same thing with the fact that viruses can cause cancer. It's well proven. We even vaccinate cats against the lukemia virus. I suppose that's just a big conspiracy too. Sorry, but after this sad string of posts, your credibility is now below ZERO. |

The disagreements are about the kinds of fats. I think that a good study can clarify this. I think it's obvious that you haven't paid much attention to any studies of anything that have already been done. Otherwise you wouldn't have the naive notion that one more study is going to settle anything, especially one as complex as the human diet and it's long term effects on health. I guarantee if one more study was done, you'd be right here bitching about how it leaves so many questions unanswered. You remind me of a friend.

The epidemic of obesity that started when the push for low fat started is obvious. *The problem is obvious does not equal true and correlation does not equal causation. *The trend of supersizing also happened during that time. *But by the time the epidemic of obesity was undeniable and the time correlation with the start of the low fat push was obvious - the studies started in the 1990s and have continued ever since. If LC can fix some of those health problems it is high time we find out that for sure too. These are not the only contenders. They should all be rigorously tested. How on earth can doing this be a bad idea? For a couple of decades study after study has come out showing the benefits of low carbing over low fatting. *It is easy to find some people who benefit from low fat plans. *It is easier to find many people who do worse on low fat. *Any study that shows one of the two ways is always better is going to be nonsense. *Studies that show wh'at better for many, those studies have been coming in year after year. *Just start reading. Oh I have read several. They are not exactly overwhelming in their results and many are not especially well done. The evidence they provide is clearly not strong enough to reverse 40 years of practice. Why not design and carry out a large enough study to address the major points of concern in all the major contenders? The "best" diet might in fact depend on one's ancestral history.

Please tell us how you know this? Because anyone who's ever done any research on, or studied, viruses knows that viruses, virtually by definition, kill cells. Cancer cells are cells that multiply uncontrollably. So to suggest that a virus can create cancer cells is essentially heresy. Either it kills cells, or it creates cells, but it can't do both. So now you're a viral expert too? *Good grief, why do you want to make an ass of yourself here? * It's well known that viruses can cause certain forms of cancer in humans and animals. *There is a whole branch of biology devoted to it. * My cat gets vaccinated against the leukemia virus. *I suppose that's a big conspiracy too because you claim it just can't be.... *“One-third of all leukemic cats have never been infected by FeLV; the same proportion as among healthy cats. Two-thirds of all cats on the outside eventually catch FeLV, quickly and permanently neutralizing the infections with their natural immune systems. Thus most cats already have natural immunity against the virus through natural infection. Leukemia is extremely rare, appearing in only 4 out of 10,000 cats each year. Rather than being an infectious disease, its more likely an acute immune deficiency [from toxemia or chronic malnourishment]. And a vaccine can do nothing against a virus that becomes latent anyway.” Tell this to your veterinarian the next time he tries to scare you into vaccinating Whiskers. [Author’s note—At least some cat owners have already discovered the “cure” for Feline Leukemia: switch from processed food to raw protein. Carnivorous animals require an uncooked protein diet consisting of raw meat, fish, and/or egg yolks. A cat that is diagnosed with Feline Leukemia placed on such a diet will stop coughing and wasting away, and will gain weight inside of two weeks. Using toxic medications and vaccines will only reduce your cat’s life expectancy, thereby “confirming” your vet’s claim that FeLV is a slow-acting killer virus. Preventing your cat from sleeping on the T.V. or clock radio might also be a good idea. Electromagnetic frequencies have been implicated in some diseases. But whether infected cats should come near him should not be a concern, because the mere presence of FeLV—like all other viruses—is at most, just a consequence of disease, and not the cause.] http://www.vaclib.org/basic/gk/pdf/DUESBERG.pdf Ditto FIV, or "feline AIDS." You can choose to believe this, or not, your choice. -- Dogman- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Why would I or any rational person belive anything from the quack Duesberg that denies HIV is responsible for AIDS and that it's instead caused by recreational drug use? Kid gets blood transfusion. Blood came from person with HIV virus. Kid now has AIDS and HIV virus. No evidence the kid evey used drugs. You have plenty of cases of that, plus others, like Arthur Ashe that clearly contracted HIV from blood transfusions. They have even tracked the DNA of the freaking virus back to identify which host it came from. What world do you live in? |
