I have an old cookbook with a diet section and that's exactly what it said there. Low fat is a disaster, and don't get me started on saturated fats and fiber. And what annoys me with these "studies" is that the researchers start out with an agenda. In this "study" they used the low fat diet as a bench mark, obviously expecting the best results from it. They also draw the conclusion that the Mediterranean diet is the best one as the 45 women (out of the 332 total) did best on it. Why are these 13% more significant than the remaining 87%?

What I don't understand is... in the 50's, housewives would try to lose a few pounds by skipping the bun for their burger, and it seemed like overnight it flipped to low fat, high carb. And we've been getting fatter ever since! It really does take a long time to change a culture, doesn’t it?
