Given our massive, unprecedented rise in obesity, diabetes, and related health problems I think we are faced with the very real possibility that roughly a half-century of America’s officially-endorsed nutritional policies may have not merely been incorrect but entirely upside-down and backwards, leading to severe health problems for perhaps a hundred million Americans, with many millions of these individuals probably suffering premature death as a consequence. This is hardly a comforting notion to accept and surely raises serious questions about the basic competence and objectivity of our academic scientists and researchers in such public health matters. Look out about what you are eating and drinking, it is important.
