[QUOTE="AlexMagd, post: 1571945, member: 429623"] People forget this all the time. I'm sure when the "low fat is good" studies came out in the 70s people were clamouring for the NHS to follow the scientific evidence for it and support that diet to help avoid people developing heart disease. It's easy to look back and wonder what they were thinking - but hindsight is 20/20. I'm sure there's something we all eat quite regularly that in 50 years will turn out to have unintended consequences. NICE are right to take their time on it even if it's frustrating, and things are changing; hell even DUK doesn't specifically discourage LCHF anymore, so much as say "there are no long term studies on LCHF but it does bring down BG levels". I think a lot of people's animus comes from their personal experiences with GPs who aren't up to date with the latest opinions and can often be quite arrogant and aggressive about this stuff. I know as soon as my GP said "you can't live without carbs" that I knew more about LCHF than she did - so why then would I trust anything else she said? [/QUOTE]
