Harvard Nutrition Dept strongly objects to the new WHO guideline limiting fat to 30% of calories. That's the low-fat diet all over again--amazing, bc it's been shown to harm health.

Experts have known how to reverse type 2 diabetes for a very long time, but this information, now supported by multiple clinical trials, is still being withheld from the general public.

News! Congress has recognized that the US Dietary Guidelines do NOT serve Americans with obesity, diabetes or other chronic diseases.

Imagine you're a hospital patient whose put your T2 diabetes in remission, you stay in his hospital, your diabetes comes back. Could the hospital be liable for giving you a disease? Asking the lawyers out there.

Hi,
@nypost
, I think you need a correction, as both the headline + photo are inaccurate.
This is not a study about meat. Its findings are that an extremely high-protein diet (>35%), where "protein" is not defined, decreases testosterone.
