I agree, everything we read and see everyday is about the bottom line. Everyone jumps on the bandwagon.

You'd think that Watson would figure out that LCHF would be beneficial for diabetics.

On the first story, I'm not entirely clear why you need Watson to tell you that eating badly is bad for you, whatever condition you have???

I hope IBM aren't going to try and get a patent on low carb diets, like they invented it. Interesting articles though.

THankfully in the day of the internet, you might struggle with Prior Art on that one... Not to mention a few other things...

He Philip that is used to think fat = flavour I wonder what he thinks of it now it's not made clear.or am I missing something.

The Medtronic Turning Point Program helped teach Philip better habits surrounding his diet, about the impact of carbs that break down into sugar, and that when he eats can be as important as what he eats. Before the program, Philip’s mantra was, “fat is flavor.” Now Philip has a deeper awareness of ingredients for their health benefits

My guess is that he now thinks fat is to be avoided like the plague. No more needed to be said, since everyone knows that fat is unhealthy. Well, I don't know that, but most people do.

Don't worry - they haven't come close to figuring out that LCHF might be good for managing diabetes.
