[QUOTE="britishpub, post: 1964250, member: 175573"] This popped up in an email I received from Diabetes UK today... [I][COLOR=#99ccff]"A ‘faddy’ diet is one where you are advised to do any of the following:[/COLOR][/I] [LIST] [*][I][COLOR=#99ccff]cut out food groups (dairy and starchy carbs are popular - without there being a medical reason to do this)[/COLOR][/I] [*][I][COLOR=#99ccff]restrict an eating pattern to a few foods[/COLOR][/I] [*][I][COLOR=#99ccff]stick to fruit or vegetable juice[/COLOR][/I] [/LIST] [I][COLOR=#99ccff]Many people think that all carbs are 'bad', and cut them from their diet. However, all the evidence suggests that wholegrain carbs such as oats, brown rice, wholewheat pasta, fruit and veg are important for good health - especially heart health - and many people's intake is lower than it should be. We do know that evidence indicates that low-carb diets can help people with Type 2 diabetes to lose weight and improve blood glucose control. This does not refer to the wholegrain carbs previously mentioned, but rather foods such as cakes, chocolates, sweets and crisps, which have no nutritional value."[/COLOR] [/I] These people should be banned from giving "advice" [/QUOTE]
