[QUOTE="Ian DP, post: 545810, member: 91575"] [I] I believe the problem lies with the NHS policy. I believe there are many specialists who realise the benefits of low carbing but because it is against NHS policy are not able to advise on it. Only Drs and consultants probably have some persuasive say in NHS policy, but even they can not advise patients against NHS policy. I wonder how many top NHS policy advisors have a 'sugar or carb' food connection or a pharmaceutical drug company company connection. Probably more than 50%. A lot of companies have a lot to lose if the NHS were to support low carb. And there lies the big problem.... Maybe support from meat farmers, nut, cheese, egg, butter suppliers etc would help change things.
