David Kessler has lodged a petition with the US Government on greatly reducing the amount of carbohydrate in the standard American diet. It is really well worth a read in itself, but is also a clear sign that attitudes are changing to carbohydrate, and the carb-heavy dietary recommendations that have been damaging health for around fifty years.
The 67 page petition can be downloaded here:
www.regulations.gov
The petition makes the case for removing the "Generally Regarded As Safe" (GRAS) appellation that these carbohydrates currently have. It's a good summary of the need to limit carbohydrate and in particular its use in industrial food production.
In anticipation of the "fringe science etc" argument.......David Kessler MD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_A._Kessler) was previously the FDA Commissioner for seven years, serving under both the Bush and Clinton Administrations. He was also chosen by the Biden Administration to head Operation Warp Speed in January 2021 and was Chief Science Officer of the White House COVID-19 Response Team from January 2021 to May 2023. So very much a medical establishment figure and one who as FDA commissioner did not (then) deviate from the "carbs good, fat bad" novel orthodoxy.
