The report, which has actually provoked a broad backlash among the scientific community, likewise argues that saturated fat does not cause heart disease while full fat dairy products such as milk, yoghurt and cheese, can actually protect the heart.
Professor David Haslam, NOF chairman, said: “As a clinician treating patients all day every day, I quickly realised that guidelines from on high suggesting high carbohydrate, low-fat diets were the universal panacea, where deeply flawed.
“Current efforts have actually failed, the proof being that obesity levels are higher than they have actually ever been, and show no possibility of reducing despite the very best efforts of government and scientists.”
Processed foods labelled “low-fat”, “lite”, “reasonable cholesterol” should be avoided at all costs and people along with Type 2 diabetes should eat a fat-rich diet rather than one based on carbohydrates, the report urges.
