I understood that. I was wondering why the poster gave a link that completely refuted their claims. I was thinking that I missed something.

I wrote a very long reply to this person, trying to convey the truth about LC, but finally gave up and didn’t post it. It’s obvious that this person has no interest in learning the truth and has an ax to grind.

There is no perfect diet for every person. I know what works for me and I’m sticking to it. My dr is happy with my labs and there’s no reason to believe that I’m anything but a healthy 40 yo. There are people who do just fine with a high-carb diet (my mom!) and it’s none of my business what they eat.

(And I’m 40 and still say ‘dude’! lol!)

But I do get *seriously* upset when someone tries to stomp on the very diet that saved my life. There may be twelve people reading this thread that this person persuades to avoid LC and that may mean a dozen early deaths that could’ve been prevented. I’m trying to be fair and civil, but it’s aggravating when false information is being touted as truth. Many people *NEED* this diet!

I agree with everything you said. From what I have studied, the numbers who could benefit from either Paleo or Atkins may be come epidemic because of insulin resistance. The same blood issues including Metabolic Syndrome are now showing up in children and teenagers (epidemic).

I have a funny story about "Dude". I have a friend I compete with in Masters Swimming. Five years ago I helped him with his racing hobby at a local W. PA racetrack. The main race was always at night and the spotting tower was always under the spotlights. The night of the "Dude" we were swarmed by mosquitoes. I got bit next to my right eye and looked away just for a couple of seconds. When I looked up there was a large wreck in the backstretch. The only thing I heard of the radio was "dude". His car was in the middle of the pile up. It stuck with me ever since. My fault. Ouch.
