my favorite quotes:

" The new findings also don't mean that it is safe or healthful to eat lots

of meat, cheese or fats, as many people who go on low-carb diets do,

experts say. "

right, cause if it wasn't healthful to eat lots of meat and fat, ya know,

we would have all died thousands of years ago...

" There are many concerns with eating diets high in animal fat, " said Dr.

Walter Willett, chief of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health.

" If people do want to cut back on carbohydrates, it's really important to

do it in a way that emphasizes healthy fats, like salads with salad

dressings. "

cut back on carbs and eat SALADS? with *SALAD DRESSINGS* what??

and again, what exactly are the concerns with animal fat? hello, were all

you people hatched yesterday? do you have NO knowledge of human history?

and of course, this one:

"

The Institute of Medicine recommends that carbohydrates constitute 45

percent to 65 percent of calories, and that no more than 20 percent should

come from added sugars, said Schlicker, who served on the panel that

drafted the advice. New dietary guidelines are due to be released next year.

"
