[QUOTE="forge, post: 1061424, member: 118650"] G'day all. I have not read all the posts but I am shocked by the lack of understanding by the posters about what the CSIRO (lead agency) and the Adelaide Universities have done. The CSIRO were not fossicking for GOLD and claim to have found a gold nugget in a gold mine as the posters are trying to claim. The CSIRO have thrown millions of Australian dollars at a the project to establish beyond doubt what is really happening, That is very different from a collection of samples of one, anecdotal experience (this forum) but the CSIRO has done a structured properly researched project and not just a desktop cherry pick like we all do. The CSIRO is not a ratbag organisation and everything it undertakes it uses top players in their field and they put their reputation on the line, so before anything is published it has been rigorously edited etc etc etc. What it means to us T2s who are doing lo carb in some form is we do not have to hunt around looking for a pro with experience with Lo carb. (I have been on it under medical supervision for more than 2 years) and I have told people about it. I was on 130 units of insulin and I came down to 4 metformin tabs but I have not done HIfat. But now the CSIRO has done a number on it probably 1 billion people found out about it overnight, lo carb for T2 became scientifically proven. The CSIRO does not throw that much money at something that they are not confident of getting a result and Australia's money back. The project is expected to get Australia's money back in medications alone without considering lifestyle benefits, you can read the published figures. One could say tho, that the CSIRO has stolen this forums "Thunder" BIGTIME. They considered Fat (fat got a mention in the news reports) but I have not read their whole report. So the forum can probably have plenty of thunder promoting high fat. Obviously lo carb was the real issue but I have not read the report but I am sure my Specialist will read the report. [/QUOTE]
