While I certainly feel better about studies finally being done on the subject of low carb diets, however I have little faith that the medical establishment will actually be able to actually see truth and evidence in front of their faces, at least in the near term. Besides, how is big pharma going to make any more money off cholesterol medications, let alone from drugs like alli. And what about all the food makers who have gone through all the trouble to develop fat free high carb foods. Should we actually suggest that they destroy their business just because of some high falutin scientific evidence that says low fat diets are bad (did I spell "falutin" right?).
