Study Results of a Large Low-Fat Diet Research Project

[tex]

Hi everyone,

Joanna posted this link in the Information on Diet forum, but I thought it was important enough that it should be posted in this forum, so that everyone would be sure to see it. The report apparently confirms what a number of us have long suspected.

What it really illuminates, though, is the fact that so many "experts" are so easily fooled into promoting a health program based on guesswork and assumptions. Someone promotes a theory, and then some group assumes that it's true, because it says what they want to believe, and eventually it gets to the point where anyone who tries to discredit the theory, is denounced as an idiot and a naysayer.

Note that the results showed that a low-fat diet has no significant effect on all these biggies: breast cancer, colon cancer, heart attacks and strokes. Also note that this was a very significant project, since it involved a very large group of subjects. It's rather unlikely that this study will ever be disproven in the future.

This is kind of a bitter pill to swallow, of course, but it's tough to dispute, in light of the facts.

Thanks, Joanna,

Wayne

Hey Tex,

I'm glad you posted it here- I guess more folks will see it. This is really an interesting article that I hope you all will read.

Love,

Thanks Tex for posting this article.

Right now it is a very timely one for me. Miss Low Fat and Vegan here still ranks up there for cholesterol - shows genes and not diet may be much more a factor.

Love, Maggie
