[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2287421, member: 196898"] The only reason that would lead to the Infographics being withdrawn is that they are under question and therefore may be incorrect, The Article did run a very poor pseudo scientific experiment to demonstrate this effect, but the explanations used to justify the conclusions it drew are clearly subjected to conflict of interests, and /or unconscious bias. Had the study produced evidence of how Dr Unwin et al calculated the original data and had a question of methodology , or had actually introduced numeric errors then it should not have had the success it appears to have, As it is, it has shown that some vested interests seem ok with teaspoons of sugar being used to describe fizzy drinks, sweets, coffee, alcohol etc (i.e. real sugars) against those lurking hidden in everyday natural foods such as bread and potatoes. It is this easy to understand interpretation aimed at the ignorant public that has them changing their nether garments, It is denial that carbs => glucose [U]not [/U]the sugar => glucose message they don't want getting out. But Pandora;s Box is now open on that. When someone gives a simplified lesson that Sugar is poison, and also starch is poison that they want to suppress. This is why Low Carb is such an anathema for them - it drives a move away from Eatwell and all that it stands for. Too much corporate money tied up in that one. [/QUOTE]
