The ocean liner HMS ADA is not going to turn around so quickly! But this crack in the door is very heartening. The person I talked to didn't want to commit to any specific predictions on the wording since it has to go through so many filters before publication.<br/><br/>Laura Dolson<br/>About.com Low Carb Diets<br/>http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/ Hi, Jimmy –

For the record, I don’t think the ADA is going to abandon their high-carb recommendations any time soon – rather they are going to cautiously state that a variety of diets, including low-carb, can help diabetics. The ocean liner HMS ADA is not going to turn around so quickly! But this crack in the door is very heartening. The person I talked to didn’t want to commit to any specific predictions on the wording since it has to go through so many filters before publication.

Whether the resulting definition will be reliable remains to be seen. <br/><br/>Likewise, I am afraid to get my hopes up too much about the ADA changes, hopefully, hopefully!, it will be for the best. I'm afraid to see what nonsense they might come up with. The head people at the ADA really don't want to accept the LC message. <br/><br/>Fingers crossed and praying!
