dogma and diet...

yeah yeah yeah... shut up already gewilli...  good luck with that

Here's a good review of Taubes' book:
http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/beyond-apples/201011/are-we-getting-nutrition-all-wrong 
"We've been told for years that the American "meat and potatoes" diet is what's killing us. But now an increasingly vocal group of experts is suggesting that it isn't the meat but rather the potatoes that are doing us harm. In the end, I'm not sure what the right answer is, but what I do know is that the chance that we are getting nutrition wrong is too important for us to ignore."

I've always maintained for years...  forever...  the problem with an american breakfast isn't the eggs or bacon or sausage, but the orange juice, toast, syrupy pancakes and hashbrowns/potatoes.  That's the bigger problem, for your heart and for your waistline, and as plenty of people are documenting there are far too many excersice addicted people who are skinny but insulin resistant (not a  good thing).

Bottom line it seems is the science is there to counter the low fat dogma, and well, look where it has gotten us. 


---  caveate/disclaimer

there's a place for all the foods and stuffs, adding in carbs is fine if you can tolerate them, they are used primarily for fuel for specific types of exercise...  

there's room for vegans in this and i'm not jumping on the taubes' bandwagon or the Noakes one either, just that they've ammassed some solid data. science. data that isn't pseudo science.

The lwo fat fad is killing people, literally. When you look at the medical science there was no unequivocal basis for the low fat 'reccomendations' 

anyway...  skim milk, cheerios, peice of toast and some orange juice...  perfect breakfast
