Hi Phoenix,
If you look at the posts in three different threads covering the same topic, you will find about 85 replies to a 12 week study on mice. Only Hana's thread Poor Baby Mice has so far got no response even though she makes a very valid point.
The thread concerning real diabetics in a long term study got only 13 replies, which begs the question was the original mice thread started in the non LC forum rather than the the Discussions forum just to provoke the Low Carbers rather than promote serious debate.
You seem to consider a 12 week study on mice to be valid, and yet dismiss out of hand the many short term 6 to 12 month LC studies as obscure (your words) and therefore irrelevant, even though time after time they come up with the same conclusion re the health benefits of following a LC diet.
If you look at the many thousands of people treated by Bernstein, Clarke, Lutz etc. if the mice studies conclusions were correct, surely then their patients would be dropping like flies. If this was the case then without doubt the promoters of the “Healthy” low fat and starchy carb diets would be shouting from the rooftops, the silence is deafening.
