Los Angeles Times “Fat was once the devil. Now more nutritionists are pointing accusingly at sugar and refined grains.”
We wrote last year about a new enthusiasm among nutritionists for eating robust amounts of healthy fats in Fat 3.0: Healthy, Nutritious and Oh-So Satisfying! Now, the idea that fat can acutally be GOOD but most refined carbs are BAD and indeed are the real dietary culprit in diseae – IS GOING MAINSTREAM!. The Los Angeles Times has a front page story about it in today’s edition:
“…a growing number of top nutritional scientists blame excessive carbohydrates — not fat — for America’s ills. They say cutting carbohydrates is the key to reversing obesity, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
“Fat is not the problem,” says Dr. Walter Willett, chairman of the department of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health. “If Americans could eliminate sugary beverages, potatoes, white bread, pasta, white rice and sugary snacks, we would wipe out almost all the problems we have with weight and diabetes and other metabolic diseases.”
