In an interesting twist this week, in an updated WedMD article, American Diabetes Association spokesman Nathaniel G. Clark, MD acknowledged in an interview that carbohydrate restricted diets help people with type II diabetes control blood sugar . . .
. . . Now the excuse from the ADA is that they do not recommend controlling carbohydrates because patients find them too restrictive. "We want to promote a diet that people can live with long-term," says Clark, who is vice president of clinical affairs and youth strategies for the ADA.

Hi everyone,
It is quite obvious that certain elements in the medical establishment and food manufacturers and quite possibly the FDA, have vested interests in a high-carb diet. They will be losing big time if low-carb diets became popular. Even Oprah is having problems with her weight now.( What say you, Mr.Green?) So the only weapon they have now is to befuddle the public by debunking the low-carb diet.
