[QUOTE="Tophat1900, post: 1384754, member: 362123"] Having an open mind is important, but it doesn't seem like you are following your own advice on that. Point I'm making is No matter what your point of view on something, you can find a study result to back it. Posting study results seems to be a way to try and validate a point of view, (Usually to try and win an argument online) as though there is no debate once one has been posted. Here's a study, oh, well, that's the end of that discussion because the study states so and it's now beyond a shadow of doubt. And we've all seen how health authorities change their stance on something a few years after they were shouting from the roof tops how good something was and how well researched it was. The point is, you just can't rely on study results for all the health decisions we make. I think as a general guide they can contain info that is useful, but many people don't even read the study and just skip straight to the result/conclusion. And sometimes those interpretations are iffy and sometimes wrong. I'm not saying ignore studies either, but they aren't the be all end all people seem to think they are. Regardless of the result. I think a lot of people were misled into believing a low fat diet is the way to go after fat was crucified by health authorities everywhere. And I'll state that too much of anything, isn't good. I think a diet that works for the individual will reflect on their blood results. I see LCHF as more of a label then anything, I don't eat a lot of fat, but try to keep it to a moderate amount myself. I think we should look at how 'we' the individual are going health wise. Take diet, activity level and results and make adjustments accordingly when needed. Not refuse to eat in a certain way because a study said so or follow a certain way because a study said so. At the end of the day, take what info we have about ourselves and use it, consult with your gp if you are not sure about something. Get opinions. Educate ourselves, we won't ever stop learning. We are all students, no matter what level of experience we have. The day we decide our mind is made up on something, is the day ignorance is allowed to flourish. [/QUOTE]
