Jama has released a study called Prevalence and Trends in Obesity Among US Adults, 1999-2000. Surprise, we are getting fatter. The health profession keeps giving us advice and we keep getting fatter. And whether you agree or disagree with the low carb diets, the fact remains that among all these expensive studies, not one decent study, with a decent sample size, has been done to test the diet and in general to do an exhaustive survey of the 3 basic components of food. Protein Fat and Carbohydrates and their effect on BMI. I mean, how tough can it be to figure out that we should do this? How hard could it be? It's not like there are 10,000 components of food types?? Let's get serious.
