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?). | Heh .. like the 'Actos' web site meal planner/recipes .. snacks have more carbs than I consume for a full meal .. and some meals have what I eat in a day.
Of course a pharma-corp wouldn't get behind a high carb diet for diabetics to sell more diabetes drugs now would they? (heavy sarcasm)
