Fat good, sugar bad

[epicuric]

Headline news, front page of today's Daily Express. At last the news is getting out there. Maybe the "must buy low fat/healthy margerine/vegetable oil because it's better for you" brigade will start to wake up. I can fully endorse this story having switched to a high fat low carb diet several months ago. Despite what the food manufacturers want you to think, sugar is the big problem, not fat.

I can't cut and paste the link from this tablet, but will do it later from a PC.

Sugar gives a temporary fix/high, which the brain gets used to. It, the brain, demands more every time.

You've not noticed the quiet rebranding of Diet Coke then!

And next year, it will be something else.
The only sensible diet is moderation and avoiding what upsets your system.

I'm still waiting for them to start recommending 20 ciggies a day - at the rate they're going it will come

Well, you know, I'm not a big fan of fat or of sugar!

There is so much conflicting evidence. Its just a minefield. @epicuric posted another thread about this which went into a lot of detail:
How did we get it so wrong?

Lets not forget the "Sugar Tax" coming in in 2018!
