It's amazing to see the debate raging among the "nutrition/medical" community, if you can call it that. I never even knew this was such a heated debate until I started searching for a cure for this AS monster. The science really seems to support a high-fat/low-carb diet. Virtually all of the experts agree that the standard-american-diet is garbage. The rest of the experts, that support high-carb/low-fat diets, don't have much science to support their position-just a lot of dogma.
What is so fascinating to me, and convincing, is the convergence of different sciences, all coming to the same conclusion. Peter at Hyperlipid is a veterinary anaesthetist. Dr. Ayers is an expert in microbiology. Dr. Harris has his degree in zoology, and is an MD radiologist. He also seems to be quite the expert on metabolism since he started his blog. It's probably just a hobby. What a bunch of nerds...and God bless them.
