Reply #16: Yes, there have been studies

[sense]

and they are detailed in the book by Gary Taubes, Good Calories, Bad Calories. He looked at a very large amount of the research on diet, obesity, etc. and he discovered that what the researchers said they discovered isn't what they discovered. Egos keep getting in the way of our getting the information we need. Many of the researcher simply wanted their hypothesis to be correct so that's what they reported instead of what the studies actually showed. It's been going on for a very long time and we're all suffering from the effects of disinformation. We're trying to do the correct things to be healthy and fit and we're being lied to about what that is.

It's a very interesting book, but very long and most people won't want to read it because of all the detail. He's putting out a more "user friendly" version for people who'll only read small books, or who simply want the conclusions and don't care about the how or why.

Fat is not our enemy. Simple carbs are. Well, hfcs and other chemicals, pollution, etc...........
