Last thirty years of nutritional advice is bunkum

An interesting read. Fortunately I've already been stuffing my face with dark chocolate for years

Unfortunately the next thirty years of nutritional advice will be no more useful.

I have spent the last 30 years catching up on the advice given in the 1600s.

For the last 40 years I've eaten kebabs for breakfast and I'm a mighty hunk of muscled manliness.

Supposed to be lamb, but I wouldn't be surprised if a few bonuses have been slipped in.

No mention of rum and raisin ice cream. Guess that's me safe for another 30 years!

That article is already a little sensationalist at times. First paragraph: People who don't eat low fat are at less risk of diabetes. Isn't that because its well known that low fat usually means more sugar?
I was always under the impression that anything of 4% fat and below was considered low fat. Oh, just like full-fat mik!? Hardly the drink of satan but if its in a mag, its got to be believed...

Well remembered!

Woody Allen in the days when I thought he was funny-amusing, before I came to the conclusion that he was funny-creepy ...

But its newspapers like The Telegraph and Daily Mail that sensationally print all these health fads and food scares on a regular basis. e.g "Biscuits Give You Cancer" or "EU Bananas Give You the Gay"

Lol - I don't doubt where any articles have come from. Generally if it has't come from a medical journal, its likely to have been reworded, which, in itself, is risky.

As I understand it, the BMJ article states that government advice regarding fat intake since the 1980s was handed out without robust evidence. That is different from saying that it was wrong.

 

[Travs]

Its not the definition of incorrect but a trusted source publishing what amounts to hearsay as health advice is still pretty irresponsible

 

[MikeW-71]

I have never paid any attention to these things anyway.

Some of us have been trying to tell people this stuff for the last 25 odd years against the popular fashion advice of the day .... I feel mildly vindicated.
