You are right. I won't believe it. Ya know why? Here is a little bit of info about Wing RR and Hill JO, the two auhtors of the above study.

It has been pretty consistent that whenever a "researcher" puts out a study that attacks low-carb or supports low-fat, there is always funding from the pharma or the food industry. I challenge anyone to find *ONE* that isn't. TC > > > TC will not belive it. Since it is .gov site it is all part of his > > > conspiracy theory.

I challenge anyone to find a study that has similar findings that isn't funded by the pharma and/or food industries. Conversely, I challenge anyone to find one study that has findings that goes against these findings in any way, that *is* funded these industries. It is time that researchers clearly and completely disclose all of their industry interests with every study they submit for publications, and all publishers must start publishing the researchers industry interests along with the studies. Any less than this is a license to deceive to the researchers and industry. TC > > > > > TC will not belive it. Since it is .gov site it is all part of his > > > > > conspiracy theory.

Kinda ironic... an admitted mental defective calling me a village idiot. ;-) TC I the int4ernet and newsgroups we have a wonderful resource available to us, which would have been unimaginable to Issac Newton. Let use it wisely. Start with spellcheck or proofreading what you wrote. We don't need the incoherence. > I the int4ernet and newsgroups we have a wonderful resource available to us, > which would have been unimaginable to Issac Newton. Let use it wisely. |
