[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 925930, member: 43498"] This is a myth that never seems to die. Medical education includes a lot of nutrition training, as there are several diseases where it is an important part of management. The reason doctors don't tend to say much about the details of what we eat is that it's not terribly relevant or important to the tasks of diagnosing and treating most illness. A lot of the beliefs about food that the public have are not based on scientific research, they are just beliefs passed around, including by non medical "alternative" websites. Clearly, low carbing helps with diabetes, and doctors will slowly catch up with this as more research is done and shared with them, and as they see patients like us improving. [/QUOTE]
