The only health parameter discussed was weight, as if this measure alone were sufficient to determine the overall health of a human being. Nothing at all about the numerous adverse biochemical results - and their consequences to health -- that come about from excess sugar in the blood.
Most of us here at the DietDoctor site have evolved scientifically far beyond the almost childish level of discourse evident in the discussion in the video clip. I know, baby steps. But maybe presenting the actual truth of the dietary situation/health equation would be palatable to many thinking people.
Several years ago I was first introduced to LCHF by two ( at the time) startling lectures: one by David Diamond and one by you. Each was forthright, without equivocation, honest about the health implications of the rotten standard Western sugar-drenched diet. Those lectures set off a cascade of learning leading to subsequent dietary changes which changed the lives of me and my family. Our health has improved dramatically. We passed on this knowledge to many of our friends. So thank you for your honesty and courage. It can't have been easy to go against the overwhelming tide of accepted dietary dogma.
I get frustrated but do admire your patience with these dunderheads.
