		<description>I know this was posted a long time ago but I just discovered this website.  I am not a lipophobe but as a non-M.D. it is extremely hard to buck the system.  When patients come in to see me for an eye exam I have a difficult time contradicting everything their diabetes educator says.  If someone comes in and flat out asks me about low carb I am always positive about it. If a patient asks me what I follow, I tell them, but I don&#039;t go proselytizing about low carb in patients who have sought my counsel on their contact lens prescriptions.</description>

		<description>Mike, to (cynically) answer the questions you posed at the end of your post, I believe they are &#039;seeding&#039; the literature with little bits and pieces of of low-carb truths (or hints of the truth). In 5 to 10 years, when the younger lipophobes finally start admitting the superiority and scientific validity of the low-carb approach, they will cite the &#039;ground breaking work&#039; of their former masters (Bray et al). In 20 years, grad students in Public Health and Epi programs will be learning how Bray and company led the &#039;new diet revolution&#039; by identifying the real culprits in obesity and other diseases of civilization - carbs.</description>

		<description>To get back to the low carb/continental drift comparison, and the posts here that say Wegener proposed his theories in 1912 and was being accepted by 1953;
I studied geology in school in 1976 and none of our so-called up-to-date textbooks even mentioned continental drift. Bad news.
The good news is, my school teacher was so newly qualified and so enthusiastic that he never taught from the textbooks and inspired me to study geology at university level myself.
So keep up the enthusiasm, Dr Eades...people need inspiration!</description>

		<description>Rice Carbs vs Processed Bread and Poison in the Food Supply:

So, I gather from above carbs are bad.  I don&#039;t know if all carbs are bad, or it&#039;s the bread...I&#039;m scared of rice, the carbs are listed as so high, as much as maple syrup...or close.  I&#039;m scared of rice and I want to know why the Asians are so thin when they eat rice all the time? The Asians think what is messing up the American metabolism the most is chemical poisons, which causes persons to overeat. The poisons come in the foods designed to addict people.  I don&#039;t know all the ingredients in McDonald&#039;s, Colas, and Kool-Aid and all the chemicals in wheat and grains such as bromines in wheat.  It is said that wheat is the main guilty party that makes people fat.  The bromates or bromides (I don&#039;t know the chemistry)?  They will destroy the iodine function which regulates the thyroid gland so one get&#039;s fat from bread or bread dough like egg rolls and pizza and the chemistry imbalance it causes. I would say it&#039;s also milk and bread making glue and fungus in the colon. You know it stinks....Substituting fries and potato chips causes more disorders in the guts, it coats and clogs the intestinal walls with a bad oil film that sticks in there and can&#039;t come out.   It&#039;s been known for so long that when the thyroid is tweaked, virtually anybody out there can be skinny in no time.  It&#039;s also known it won&#039;t take the chemicals out of the body, just to tweak the thyroid, and if the doctor&#039;s gave you that solution under those toxic conditions causing you to overeat to begin with, you will die, not from thryoid medicine but MD&#039;s know you are toxic and obviously stupid on the issue and when skinny you will eat the same stupid way thinking you just had a weak gland, and they will get blamed for your death.  They won&#039;t say &quot;your body chemistry from junk food and poisoned food is a nightmare.&quot; They are most often looking for some quick fix trick to make you feel better for making quick $$$ when you walk in the door, not get you a degree in chemistry and nutrition.  It&#039;s them against you. The system is designed for independence and victimizing people out of their money.  Also working like a miracle, is growth hormones, and steroids...these things work if you get good products.  There are many bad products sold, either stale, or just lies.    After one has already gotten fat they are most likely so full of chemical poisons they will regain the weight because it&#039;s being poisoned that makes you overeat. Your not getting fat because your overeating, your overeating because your getting fat.  The correction needs to happen as to the reason the person is storing fat and not using it as they go along.  Asians have their own stores and don&#039;t even touch American foods because they KNOW full well how adulterated the products are.  They don&#039;t eat at McDonald&#039;s.  They want their vegetables and soy and green tea and ginseng and they have their teeth and they don&#039;t like milk.   I worked with the best Asians, and they won&#039;t touch an American labeled box of soy milk, they love the chinese soy, sugar and all, as long as it&#039;s labeled with Chinese words.  I was drinking the American sugar free soy and thought about it.  What get&#039;s in American food is a lot of problems of trust issues. False labeling. Ingredients lies. Chemical Warfare with the Foods.  Chinese don&#039;t have all the answers and they eat some disgusting stuff like spiders, crickets, or human placenta, but they know something big about lies and poison in American foods and drugs.  They work with their own herbal and root cures also. It&#039;s kind of strange why they would not prefer McDonalds to eating spiders and rice with soy and oil and they have far more home cooking.....but it&#039;s working for their longevity, not to be poisoned by the secret chemicals sprayed on farms, and put into factory packaging and processed foods by big companies.  They love greens too.  Americans don&#039;t want to eat green vegetables too much.  The don&#039;t even have a craving in so many cases, people just ignore greens.  McDonalds doesn&#039;t think greens matter in a meal.  The Asians don&#039;t feel fed it they go there and eat.  Back in the days, Chinese was the cheapest restaurant meal around.  Now it&#039;s as costly as American food. The Chinese never got rich, they just keep making more Chinese.   As far as MSG poisoning goes, I believe this is for the American Chinese and Chinese restaurant food, I don&#039;t know that they are big on this in China.  Addictive substances to oversell sell restaurant and processed foods should be illegal.  It&#039;s a dirty rotten trick that never should have happened.  And I&#039;m not sure how trust worthy some Asians are to Americans.  It is the Chinese selling shiploads of fluoride to put in American water supplies.  It can be possible that the Chinese know so much about poison in American food because they are the one&#039;s doing it to the American&#039;s.  The world has been envious of Americans and their lifestyle and I do wonder how many corrupt persons are after the Americans.</description>

		<description>Simple answer to why no one wants to talk low carb - then not only have I been poisoning myself unwillingly, and if I&#039;m a parent, poisoning my children - suddenly all the people I&#039;ve lost from diseases of civilization potentially didn&#039;t have to die when they did. That&#039;s a giant burden, and I imagine if you&#039;re in healthcare, it&#039;s probably evevn bigger (larger sphere of influence.) Until we find a way to provide an honorable out for people, even the grass roots revolution will have a hard time taking off.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think much of either one, especially the blood type.  My exposure to The Gabriel Method has been pretty cursory, but from what I&#039;ve seen, I&#039;m not sure it would work for many people.</description>

		<description>I believe that &quot;researchers&quot; like this make these studies and statements because they get paid better to uphold the status quo. If they were to go against the popular belief, they would be ostracized and their careers would be over. There can be large grants available for those that &quot;study&quot; what the people in control of the money, prestige and fame want studied.</description>

		<description>Why don&#039;t you and other lo carb proponents get together and design a study of diets--Mediterranean, vegetarian, low fat, low carb (at a level you think would be reasonable), etc.,  specifying the parameters to be measured,   and petition NIH to fund it?   Then maybe things would be clearer.</description>
