Link is behind a registration page. Is this the same rubbish Sky News felt necessary to run a story on the middle of last week?
In other news; Slimming World came out last week to say that an avocado is unhealthier than a can of cider.

Pasta forms part of the Mediterranean Diet plan, which studies have shown is effective in treating diabetes in some people, It is a recommended diet on this site among others
Thank you.
I have to say I find DietDoctor has an agenda that gives rise to certain bias, and although I use their LC information, I no longer consider this site to be independant or a qualified source of info. I would suggest a pinch of salt should be applied, but that is not compatible with current dietary advice,
Really what agenda would that be? I think you will find that Dr Eenfeldt is pretty independently minded.
When you consider how the LC message goes so strongly in the face of previously accepted medical opinion, the internet is very, very VERY quiet in terms of critique or dissension. In fact, Dietdoctor.com rules the airways in a way that reminds me of a scammer who really understood how to manipulate the search engines, Now this may be just a sign of a successful marketing operation, but it is very slick, and hence IMO suspicious, I found nothing that provided anything like an overview or review that was independant of DD or that queried any aspect of their operations. So I feel if there is independant oversight, then it is being suppressed. I would be happier if there was open discussion going on and queries/ challenges but I could not find any.
I do not question his ethics, and I am not questioning his message that his website conveys. but where I have a difficulty is that he is no longer a single voice in the web wilderness, but is leading a company that employs staff, has overheads to pay, and creditors to assuage. These put immense pressure on him to make the site pay, and so he will be very focussed in marketing his message, and it is this focus that I think may form some tunnel vision effect. I am concerned that his website only gives one message and is not open to critique or oversight, so by that his reliability as an independant source of info is fixated and governed by his success or failure. It is a problem that others have fallen into before, and there comes a certain corporate blindness that clouds the vision of even the best guru's.. I worked in Aerospace, and we had a very safety conscious ethic thay we tried to adhere to at all times, but often it was corrupted by the bean counters taking control through the purse strings. Sad fact of life, but it boils down to money and the bottom line. Dietdoctor is not a charity. It is not an independant repository of knowledge, It has an agenda.
There are people who successfully use a GI control type of diet for their diabetes. I myself use GI control to a certain degree. While I personally avoid pasta in my diet, I do so because I tested myself and found it was not the best for me, However, recently I have been able to increase my carb intake due to improved IR response, and so I do have it on occasions.
