[QUOTE="Beagler, post: 1434005, member: 326827"] Trying to think about the original question - which I hope I have managed to cut & paste above - I believe the reason is not quite as conspiracy-theory as some have stated. The main reason can be found in a reply a little further down the forum - with the blogger who tried so hard to advise people who simply could not imagine a diet without chips, or pizza, or bread. It is these people, who are the majority of GPs patients, (not the minority of food-aware explorers like us!) - a majority who would benefit immensely from taking on the "five-a-day" message, and the "eatwell plate" message, whether the meals were home-cooked or ready-meals. Once they are on a more nutritious diet, then their blood sugars might be stabilised, and THEN they can try reducing carbs to control BS even better. The other point about the low-carb diet is that there simply hasn't been enough research. Yet. It is coming, but evidence-based practice is vitally important to a free-to-the-end-user system like the NHS and really cannot be circumvented. [/QUOTE]
