Dr. Glenn Gaesser is peddling in place with his nutritional blather
The damning evidence against a high-carb, low-fat diet keeps getting worse and worse all the time as studies continually show that particular nutritional approach is a uniquely unhealthy way to eat to live. With all this preponderance of the evidence AGAINST consuming a high-carb, low-carb diet for the sake of your weight and health, then obviously there can't be anyone in their right mind who would dare to RECOMMEND such a diet for people seeking to lose weight and improve their health, right?
Unfortunately, somebody forgot to tell that to University of Virginia professor Dr. Glenn Gaesser.
He claims there is nothing at all wrong with consuming sugar, white flour, processed and whole grains, and other high-glycemic (aka HIGH-CARB) foods as part of a healthy and fit lifestyle.
"There is no reason to be eating fewer carbs – they're not the enemy,” he exclaimed. "People who consume high-carb diets tend to be slimmer, and often healthier, than people who consume low-carb diets."
Even worse is what he said to one of my readers who wrote to him about his errant views of the low-carb lifestyle. You're not gonna believe this!
"I should also mention that consumption of sugar (perhaps the ultimate "bad" carb) is consistently linked to lower body weights in adults," Dr. Gaesser concluded.
OH...MY...GOSH! Read and listen to more from Dr. Glenn Gaesser about why he believes a high-carb, low-fat is optimal and I'll show you the latest studies that prove he is way off base by clicking here.
