Memphis Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Its been known for a long time that cholesterol in diet is not a significant contributed to LDL levels in a non diabetic etc. Healthy portions, healthy weight, healthy liver all play a bigger role. Its good to see the government updating its guidelines to match the science. If your using this non news to attack the importance of dietary nutrition and portion slices as a whole that's a symptom of denial I see far to often at the hospital.

DocM Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 The delusion is yours. I didn't attack anything, not a single comment other than highlighting an important part of a news story. The FACT is I do watch my cholesterol because I have LADA, even though I've never clocked higher that a 140 total in my life. Don't even have abnormal ratios. My vegetarian endocrinologist on the other hand.... You're once again getting off on my personal matters. It's like a tic. Take some meds. Read a baseball book. Get over it.

You're getting off commenting on my personal matters, yet again. It's like a tic. Take some meds. Read a book. Get over it. I comment because you keep posting articles with a slant against nutritional education in the school system as well as the science behind dietary nutrition. Then you post articles like this as if they where proof that the government shouldn't mandate anything nutritional. We cannot continue such an approach and expect a healthy society. Again, I learned what this article says years ago in nutrition, the bolded parts are non news, it just took the government a bit of catch up time.

DocM Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 What's more educational than a NEWS STORY about a major health policy change? On a topic the general public has been generally misinformed about for 40 years (per the article interview)? As I said, get over it. +E.Worm Jimmy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcfan Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 For years, "we got the dietary guidelines wrong. They've been wrong for decades." and they still are "We told people not to eat eggs. It was never based on good science," Nissen said. I bet they've killed more people than they have helped. +E.Worm Jimmy 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocM Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 I was just about to post, you beat me to it.... But I am confused...did they not have a consensus?This advisory panel makes recommendations which have to be approved before they're enacted and officially published to caregivers and the public. IMO, it would be wise to approve this because the current guidelines are very outdated and in many ways just flat wrong. This doesn't matter too much to those caregivers who keep up, but there are quite a few who do not. There is also the negative effect of the current outdated recommendations on public behavior, as noted in the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
