[QUOTE="Tophat1900, post: 2219582, member: 362123"] We were told to eat low fat and replace the fats with carbs, healthy wholegrains and such as part of the demonisation of fat. Since then, diabetes type2 and obesity have risen at incredible rates. We do now know that fat doesn't cause heart disease. The advice and belief that fat causes heart disease is just rubbish. Yet, many HCP's, not just cardio docs still believe it does. Dietician associations are often funded by junk food manufacturers and continue to spout the low fat approach in the face of worsening outcomes in general. Personally, I wouldn't bother seeing a cardiologist who still thinks this way if I needed to see one. The real blame lays at the feet of sugar (which is in just about everything) and starch carbohydrate like grains, so anything wheat, rice, potatoes etc. Also seed oil consumption. Fat has the least impact on insulin requirement, carbohydrates have the highest demand for insulin, it's little wonder nations are getting sicker. Heart disease imo is a chronic modern day disease driven by excessive glucose consumption, insulin resistance, causing inflammation, high insulin levels and a number of other factors at play. Also driven by horrid advice from HCP's and dieticians. If fat is so bad, why is it we have been eating it for many millions of years and yet it's only just in recent history that it is a major problem? Our ancestors didn't wake up to wheat bix and orange juice drinks. Fat is essential. I think low fat, low carb isn't an ideal diet to follow, fat also provide satiety. However, we can all choose what to eat and see how health markers respond on blood tests etc. [/QUOTE]
