Are Your Medications Safe?

6. And might I add to your comment that much of the advice we

Have gotten pertaining to fat in our diet has been wrong and yet that misinformation continues to be dispensed by doctors and dietitians to this day. We have followed the guidelines of reducing the fat in our diet while increasing the carbohydrates at the same time. The result is that we have soaring rates of diabetes and a thriving drug industry that is inventing more and more pills to compensate (or at least they are advertised to "fix" the problem) for the results of following that dietary advice.

The standard recommendation regarding our diet has no real scientific evidence to back up the claim that reducing the fat while increasing the "complex carbs" will work to control our weight, cholesterol and overall heart health. None. But our real life experiment carried out by millions of people following the advice of their doctor or the Food Pyramid has demonstrated the flaw in that advice. Slowly but surely the tide is changing as the Low Fat Myth is losing favor but not before a huge number of people suffer the consequences of following that dietary plan and then compounding the error with drugs that don't work and that, in fact, may be fatal.
