For decades the science for low carb benefits has been available. Though the ones with the money and power (big food, big pharma) have constantly tried to suppress this. Resulting in the advice that a carb heavy diet is healthy and will reduce the risk of heart attacks, etc
But today more and more articles, and people talking, about low carb and the ketogenic diet are coming to the fore. The evidence is there, and easy to find.
But my biggest concern is why haven't the NHS said anything about this. Why have they not stopped in their tracks and said "you know, we might have gotten this wrong. and there does appear to be a correlation between the nutritional advice we've been giving and the steady rise in obesity and type 2 diabetes. let's get to the bottom of this and change everything".
But no. To this very day, we're still told to eat a large quantity of carbohydrates because they are 'heart healthy'. Why are they sticking their heads in the sand?
Big food and big pharma. That's why. It's a disgrace. We've allegedly got the best health service in the world yet the very advice they provide on nutrition is the very thing that will kill us (or at least make us all live lives that depend on medication).
