[QUOTE="SockFiddler, post: 1500371, member: 412001"] This is all amazing and really encouraging. Thanks to everyone for commenting and leaving such fab info - I'm still catching up on it all. I can't access that article (£26/month subs are too much for a newspaper imho!) but I was able to read this paragraph which I'm guessing pretty much sums it up: "Tens of thousands of people with diabetes have ignored official advice and switched to the diet, saying that it helped them to lose weight and improved their condition. However, Public Health England has condemned as “irresponsible” sweeping claims about its health benefits." This all puts me in mind of a fascinating documentary I watched a while ago called "Milk" and is about the Milk Lobby in the US and it managed to gain huge prominence (watch here for £3.84: [URL]https://vimeo.com/ondemand/milk[/URL] ) including on the triangle of healthy foods where it gained undue priority with the remaining dairy products relegated to a mere subset. Could it be there there's a "grain" lobby? That, already hurting from the meteoric rise of the anti-gluten movement, is pushing harder than ever to ensure its future by urging opposition to low-carb diets? I'm aware of how silly that might sound, but farming is a funny industry anyway (farmers paid not to produce etc...) and, well, the Milk doc makes it clear that even the most bonkers stories can be true. (See how I avoided "grain of truth" there? :D) Incidentally, this blog [URL]http://blog.bitingfit.co.uk/?p=183[/URL] was horrific reading. It's hard not to be cynical when you read that Coke has its fingers in so many pots, including sport and the Olympics, diabetes, even children's nutrition. I wish he'd linked his sources to save anyone having to do that work all over again. With all that said, though, things that people have written here do sound encouraging and I've got fingers crossed that, slowly, a wave of change is gaining pace. [/QUOTE]
