[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 1500636, member: 256617"] The powers that be at best in my opinion will in-time sanction one or more alternative methods such as LCHF, Newcastle Diet and hybrids, but I fear they cannot tinker too much in the short term, due to the vested interests - this is more powerful than the smoking lobby, there are unquantifiable amounts of money, infrastructures and massive corporations that will not just fess up and say ok we know a lot of what we are peddling is not in mankind's best interests. The major problem is "us" by us I mean the general public. I remember when Jamie Oliver tried to help out in schools dinners, just to see parents passing fast food to their kids. Junk food just is too easy, quick, is tasty, addictive and cheap. However all you have to do is see the popularity of some mainstream books that can have significant benefits for diabetes such as Joe Wicks "Lean in 15" and Cooking for Family & Friends, respectively both of these have circa 35% and 45% sections headed up "Reduced - Carb". There's Dr Clare Bailey's "the 8-week blood sugar diet" and Tom Kerridge's "Dopamin Diet", which is almost completely low carb. These books have sold by the bucket load.

The work that [USER=44622]@Squire Fulwood[/USER] referenced conducted by the PHC is superb and with so many Dr's on board offers credibility to the cause, as does this site / diet doctor.
