Our friend Dr. Katz of Yale was on the radio recently promoting basically the “everything in moderation” diet, in other words, based on current research, he couldn’t specifically recommend ANYTHING, so he recommended nothing and pretended that this was some kind of profound medical insight.

The problem is, if doctors can’t tell us anything, then what do we need them for? What good are they? Why are we paying them so much money for them to be incapable of taking a stand on anything? Their whole reason for being becomes questionable and doubtful. Their hypocrisy becomes evident.

Medics these days have forgotten a cardinal principle of science, which is that the sole basis of their authority stems from the facts as demonstrated in a laboratory setting. This is why medics started wearing lab coats in the 19th century, to gain an air of scientific legitimacy.

Unfortunately, now medics act as if the facts stem solely from their professional authority, rather than their authority stemming solely from the facts. Their is no scientific or medical authority that is not based on laboratory or observable, demonstrable evidence. The efficacy of low-carb may not have been yet definitively demonstrated in a laboratory, but it can be definitively demonstrated and observed in the lives of thousands of people living healthier, happier lives today.

That living evidence should be enough to proclaim low carb a known truth. Unfortunately it is doing more to reveal the hypocrisy, greed, desperation and mercenary shallowness of the medical, and journalism, professions.

Thanks for sharing this story. It’s very inspiring to hear the success stories, and I must say your look fabulous.
