I really liked this slide showing heart disease as related to fat ingestion showing higher fat inversely related to heart disease.

It's a pity Malcolm Kendrick can't talk like he writes (where were the jokes??) and the reverse is true for Gary Taubes ... perhaps some sort of gene splice/test tube baby/love child union of the two will reverse the decline of low carb??!;):razz::p

Is low carb declining? (A serious question.) Have I missed something?

[mcsblues]

Well of course it is hard to get an accurate picture, but while I don't have a great deal of time these days I either contribute to or briefly scan the topics of interest on 6 low carb forums in 4 countries - I'd say in every case the number of new members joining and general activity has dropped significantly from a peak about 2 or 3 years ago. And apart from GCBC (which I can't imagine will have a great impact) there hasn't been a significant book in that time and I'd also say the number of low carb related research papers seems to be declining as well - all of which compounds the problem - hence my disappointment that the long awaited Taubes book for all its good points, doesn't seem to be what is required to reverse the trend.
