If you're going to write an article like this you have to cite some evidence - if Dwight Lundell really believes what he's saying he should apply to the Atkins Foundation and do some research - instead he's selling his self help book and dietary supplements: http://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/lundell.html http://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/lundell.html

Every time a health article is linked from HN, I do a quick ⌘-F to see if someone pins everything on carbohydrates. Yahtzee! Then I start looking at the rest of the site. Oh look, conspiratards. I begin to wonder if the person who wrote the article -- that fellow in the lovely white scrubs -- is actually a doctor. So I search his name. Yahtzee! He lost his license to practice medicine in 2008[0]. One thing that is persistently annoying about HN is the fondness for secret histories, wanting to be seen to know Deep Secrets Which The Masses Could Not Comprehend, seeing conspiracies under ever bush and basically just being about as thoughtful as the sort of intelligentsia that infest coffee shops. It really gets up my nostrils. Anyhow, I expect that this particular snooty message of mine will attract energetic responses; much as manure attracts flies. Some of you will tell me that it really is a conspiracy -- Archer Daniel Midlands, or corn subsidies and HFCS (hint: people in other countries get fat and die of heart disease without these). Some will be personal anecdotes of how you lost 100lbs in 20 days on the paleto or kelogenic diet. Some will be folk defending the cui bono, others the status quo. I won't be here for it. I'm just going to let this train wreck play itself out. [0] http://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/lundell.html http://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/lundell.html

  You know it is possible for somebody to be have a sordid and questionable history whilst also being well informed and correct on some matter. Not saying he necessarily is on this, but it IS possible. Whether carbohydrates can drive obesity in certain people is a hot area of discussion, so I would not discount somebody for bringing it up. I think this is a natural reaction to the fact that fat has been vilified as making people fat for decades and it turned out to not be 100% true, so now people take an extremely skeptical look at the advice of eating an abundance of carbohydrate.

    Yeah this Ancel Keys' shtick is great marketing from the paleotards.

  I did some research and couldn't validate what was said in the article. That was the main reasons for submitting - to get feedback from HN. Some people I know seemed to be believing this very firmly, and was changing their diets. Thanks
