The low-carb diet is getting more and more popular. The main focus of the diet is to lose weight via lowering carbohydrate intake. You might be surprised to find out this has had a lot of attention since the mid 19th century.
The diet was made most popular in modern times in 1972 due to the publishing of Dr. Robert Atkins’s book, "Dr. Atkins diet revolution". Atkins doctrine was the consumption of an unlimited amount of fat and protein. To this day the work by Dr. Atkins has the largest following of low carb enthusiasts, especially those new to low carb dieting.
Shortly following the rise of the diet/heart theory (D/H) which condemned fat (saturated) and cholesterol with the onset of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). Dr. Atkins gained his popularity. This D/H theory was the start of the fat-fear and cholesterol-fear period which started in the middle of the 1950’s. The campaign began to brainwash the American people during the coming decades until almost all Americans formed a phobia regarding their health due to dietary habits.
The concept that Fat and Cholesterol Cause Heart Disease is the Biggest Medical Hoax of the last 100 years
I’ve only noticed a few not falling into this ideology. Most who start the low-carb lifestyle worry about what what will happen to their blood fats such as cholesterol and all related measurements. Oddly people join the low-carb lifestyle and fail to discover that the D/H theory was a complete and utter lie. Ironically a very large number of people have written about it and exposed it..
Let's face it, we have a large number of big name organizations who find it in their best interests or have been fooled to keep this lie alive and strong. Such organizations include the American Heart Association, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, a number of colleges and the overall medical industry. The lie has completely hooked most of these otherwise good and charitable organizations.
Huge amounts of resources are available that keep the lie afloat and it is fascinating how many businesses push funding through to keep this alive. The said businesses and organizations spend countless amounts of money convincing media to further brainwash people and literally flood the minds of billions of people into thinking of this as an absolute unchallenged fact of science.
Then again many make a lot of money on the "Diet/Heart" scam
The low carbohydrate diet was never a part of the development of the scam, it just wasn't of interest. The fact is the low carb diet can be rather easily demonized due to the alleged high fat content needed to maintain it. Since fat is the main culprit of the D/H scam, this way of thinking is quickly discounted as false and dangerous.
Diet has no relation to CHD and this is why. The AHA began a panel to find out if diet was related to CHD. They concluded that diet doesn't impact the onset of CHD. However, the AHA remained silent and in 1961 the AHA stated that diet was a risk factor for developing CHD and villains were saturated fat and cholesterol. It took only a couple of years before the AHA suggested to all Americans to follow a diet decreasing the ingestion of saturated fat and cholesterol. We still find those same recommendations to this day.
It’s Time to Stop Fretting Over Cholesterol and Fat
Now we realize, blood fat is improved with a low carbohydrate diet. However the blood profiles we are so concerned about have very little bearing and have caused us to spend far too much on testing. We have also become enslaved to medications designed to prevent problems that these readings have nothing to do with.
Blood glucose is the real issue in heart disease. This occurs in a process called "Glycation" where the blood glucose forms into glycated proteins which are damaging to the organ and vascular system. The repair of the damaged blood vessel system is actually done by Cholesterol. However the Cholesterol is wrongly associated as a cause for concern.
