[QUOTE="There is no Spoon, post: 2109520, member: 468755"] Did that not come across in my post. It was late at night and the point I was eluding to is the decision makers are usually not experts, i.e. government, they then fall back on the idea that new ideas are not[I] tried and tested [/I]and the[B] old ideas can not be wrong[/B] because they are[I] tried and tested.[/I] Which is the root causes for reluctance/resistance to making changes to more up to date treatment because it is not [I]tried and tested. [/I] We all know eating carbs and 5 fruits a day is good for us because it has been taught for the last 20 years so to tell a novice to diabetic health treatment that this is wrong, is pure nonsense to them. Because the low fat 5 a day eat well carb system is lodged the zeitgeist as [B]well established[/B] &[I] tried and tested. [/I] Every school kid knows that fat is bad, low fat is healthy and they have to eat plenty of fresh fruit. It would be lunacy to even think of doing anything else. Every one who is still continuing to be sick or getting worse must be doing it wrong and only have themselves to blame. After all it's tried and tested. :banghead: (That's how I thought my post read.) ;) :bag: [/QUOTE]
