At last, a voice of sanity from a government.

From what I understood, the recommendations from this committee don't go much beyond what the UK already has in place, or due soon - a tax on sugary drinks, food labelling, and encouraging physical activity. They do talk about studies that show that consumption of carbohydrate contribute to obesity and related diseases, and suggest that the Government investigates this, which I suppose is a step in the right direction. But only if it leads to actual action on encouraging a reduction in carbohydrate intake.

Read it, it looks like they're just playing catch up to the UK

Is Canada to be the first country to openly acknowledge the flaws in the current dietary guidelines and turn advice on its head? It looks rather like it!

sincerely hope so. did a quick search for the word "keto". & "low carbohydrate". drew a blank

An interesting read..... Basically saying eat real food.
I found it interesting that they wanted no reps from agriculture and food industries on panels to determine what a food table should look like.
Maybe to many it didn't go far enough but it is a major step forward in many ways
