Thank you for this series, Prof. Noakes. It really closes the circle for me. Coincidently, there is one thing in common for the two of us; the nutritional change started with the book “new Atkins, new you”. I started (unlike you) with zero background, but the book changed everything (including new lite version of me permanently -10kg).  After Taubes and Teicholz and many hundreds of other things, this series connects the remaining dots for me.

This phrase is endorsed to several people, but let’s give it to war time German propaganda minister Göring: “if you repeat a lie often enough, the people start believing in it; finally, you believe in it yourself”. Let’s re-dedicate this to Mr. Keys.
The harm his “lies” is still causing to us, is tremendous. 

The one mighty commercial force mentioned by Teicholz, P&G and Crisco support to the AHA, bear its fruit the same year Keys started with AHA 1961. Pandoras box for “healthy” poly-un-stable fats was opened, and the devil is still at large. With official recommendation everywhere ever since. Best ever snake-oil marketing…by PUFAgiant P&G.

The unsung hero -close to it -is Reaven; luckily, others have built upon his work, when he kind of gave up halfways.  My personal health focus shall be on triglycerides and HDL (and hypertension and belt length) before something trustworthy appears, thanks to this series. If I ever take OGTT again, it must include insulin response, why else bother to drink 75g of glucose?

Seeing the insulin response, a ’la dr. Kraft, reveals the hidden insulin resistance / over-excretion status, long before blood glucose fails.

Thank you once more,

JR
