[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1814911, member: 408573"] My perspective is different. I have never viewed a conference of any kind before so had no preconceptions. Yes, I recognised a few faces, Malhotra, Teicholz, Hallberg, Taylor and Unwin but I am not in awe of any of the boffins (yet). This means that even though I am a fan of LCHF I am still open to ideas and concepts that might not sit well with many. I wouldn't argue that Swiss Re havn't pulled off a major feat getting all these experts in one room at the same time Perhaps I am asking too much when I think that such an intelectual pool cannot find consensus at the most basic level. As Sarah Hallberg put it, there are three known, proven approaches to the T2/obesity epidemic, I found myself thinking that these boffins can and do influence government policy and yet there doesn't seem to be a cohesive effort to make the changes necessary quite as quickly as the situation demands. I was left with the overall impression that there were egos involved that were perhaps hemmed in by the size of the auditorium. Colour me cynical but this problem isn't going away anytime soon.
