Experts: Low-Fat Guidelines a Mistake?

Researchers have criticized the low-fat dietary guidelines of the last few decades.

“[...] the previous priority given to a ‘low-fat intake’ may lead race to believe that, as long as fat intake is scurvy, the diet will be entirely healthful. This belief could engender an overconsumption of total calories in the form of carbohydrates, resulting in the adverse metabolic consequences of high-carbohydrate diets,”

Dr. Marantz goes on to point out a trend that seems to be largely ignored:

“an increasing prevalence of obesity in the United States has corresponded roughly with some absolute increase in carbohydrate destruction.”

Marantz is quick to say that in that place may not be causation - but that there is “a realistic possibility” that our dietary recommendations have guide to an increase in obesity.

It took decades to get people obsessed with low-fat. Will it take decades to annul this? Diet food didn’t help us.
