I would like to believe it, but I can't seem to find that strong evidence anywhere.

That’s because it doesn’t exist, of course. We have been tragically misled for about 30 years.

This is N=2 but my wife and I switched to a low-carb/high-fat diet last summer and we are both at our ideal weight, higher energy than we have had in many years, and feeling absolutely fantastic. I think this is where the current metabolic science is taking us.

Same here, no idea if it's good for my heart or not but I've got lots of energy.

Tragically misled might even be an understatement. The US Government is probably going to end up having killed hundreds of thousands of people through dangerously bad dietary guidelines and the impact they have across the culture over a generation.

Their recommendation for consuming 5-12 servings of breads, cereals, pasta, 'whole grains' per day is like telling people they need to drink more soda.
