It's also odd that Dr. Weil defends red meats, but doesn't include them in his healthy eating pyramid. In any event, if you go to the USDA National Nutrient Database http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/, you will see that most fat in beef is unsaturated. -- - Billy "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.democracynow.org/2010/7/2/maude http://www.democracynow.org/2010/6/2...al_crime_scene |

Dr. Andrew Weil: Fat or Carbs: Which is Worse?
This article is a bit of a change in his attitude, his plan just hasn't
caught up yet. What's happening is that more and more research is showing that low carb and high fat is the way to go, however, the diet preachers have to change their message slowly so people don't notice how they were wrong for so long.

Ansel Keys isn't the first doctor to get it wrong, for what ever reason (usually research grants). Women were experimented upon with diethylstibesterol, hormone replacement, and thalidomide. All touted by doctors as just the thing to cure you. If it hadn't been for a law suite filed by chiropractors in 1975, in response to the AMA trying to discredit their alternative approach to curing (a suite won and up-held in 1991) we wouldn't have access to alternative medicine today. -- - Billy "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.democracynow.org/2010/7/2/maude http://www.democracynow.org/2010/6/2...al_crime_scene |
