Low/ High carbs + animal fat , protien = bad

[Allan]

Hi,

https://www.sciencedirect.com/scienc...6826671830135X

bottom line - Our findings suggest a negative long-term association between life expectancy and both low carbohydrate and high carbohydrate diets when food sources are not taken into account. These data also provide further evidence that animal-based low carbohydrate diets should be discouraged. Alternatively, when restricting carbohydrate intake, replacement of carbohydrates with predominantly plant-based fats and proteins could be considered as a long-term approach to promote healthy ageing.

As far as I understand the Harcombe Diet is not Low or High carb - Zoe has said that carbohydrates are not essential - and very much for meat and their fats , so has this paper been debunked

Off the top of my head, I believe Zoe responded to the paper mentioned.

Ok...I've done some searching and found this...I'd say Zoe debunked it. Hope it answers your question.

Well done GW! I am so glad you found Zoe’s note on that paper.

Thanks so much. Research shared by Healthline. Tried to send them an email pointing out the error , but their contact form is not working

Glad to be of help, Allan.

Unfortunately the plant based propaganda way of eating is very powerful and I've zero idea how we can counteract it, except for people like Zoe dissecting and refuting.

And another thing about plant based stuff - I bought some plant based mince at the supermarket - looked a lot like fresh mince - then discovered it was a product of DENMARK! For goodness sake we are in Australia - how planet friendly is plant based stuff if it is imported from Denmark??

That is a very good point Sue.
