[QUOTE="pdmjoker, post: 2289928, member: 468524"] From this page which seems to have the whole story: [URL]https://theworldnews.net/uk-news/is-a-banana-as-bad-for-type-2-diabetes-as-six-spoons-of-sugar[/URL] Quote: [INDENT] A recent report from the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition concluded there was no difference between low and high carbohydrate diets when it came to weight loss beyond 12 months. And despite high-level political approval, some experts robustly reject Dr Unwin’s statements about teaspoons of sugar, calling them misleading and unscientific. When we asked NICE, in light of these findings, on what basis it had endorsed his infographics, it said it had decided to remove them from its website ‘as a precautionary measure… while we conduct our own assessment of the competing evidence claims’. It added: ‘In the meantime, we will ask Dr Unwin not to promote his resource using NICE’s endorsement.’[/INDENT] I looked at the SACN report and they have the following table 5.1 of "diet definitions". The SACN report often talks of "lower carb" not "low carb". The cited page equates "lower carb" with "low carb". Just one example of misunderstanding that has proliferated about Low Carb diets and why "Low Carb" diets fare no better in studies. PS Some of the experts say how a low calorie diet is the only scientifically proven method of getting Type 2 under control. We know of David Unwin's success rate at reversing T2. Has anyone ever seen a quoted success rate for Low Calorie diets? Just a practical point which might be illuminating... Edited to make more sense... [ATTACH=full]42964[/ATTACH] ... [/QUOTE]
