Here’s a fun report from yesterday. Sam Feltham from the Public Health Collaboration faces off against a government obesity advisor and professor on the topic of low-carb diets.
Unfortunately the professor seems uninformed, emphasizing that low-carb studies only test Mediterranean diets and never with unlimited amounts of saturated fats. She’s wrong. There are many such studies, here’s one of the more well-known examples.
It’s not too strange that the UK official guidelines are so bad, when the government’s own obesity adviser talk with absolute certainty about an important topic, while being wrong.
"Jebb, professor of diet and population health at the University of Oxford, and previously with the Medical Research Council, has received support for her research from Coca-Cola, Sainsbury’s, Cereal Partners and Rank Hovis McDougal. Food companies have funded 10 projects in which she was involved to the tune of £1.37m since 2004. All were completed before Jebb took up the government position in 2011."
