A friend was visiting us yesterday and told an interesting story. His cholesterol was a little high, so of course he went to a naturopath. The doc drew blood and sent it off for analysis. The results were said to indicate that he was sensitive to wheat, dairy, eggs, and meat and he should eliminate them from his diet, which he did. A couple months later, his cholesterol was much better! And guess what? He'd lost a bunch of weight, duh. And whaddya bet that his blood work had nothing to do with it . . .
So the deal is that if you follow some fad diet and eliminate all the higher calorie stuff which you've been eating as a major part of your diet, you'll lose weight. Of course your blood markers will improve with weight loss no matter where and how you cut the calories. So if you eat sugar as a major part of your diet, and you cut that out, you'll probably lose weight and feel better, too. Which has nothing to do with sugar, per se, but it looks good for the theory that cutting whatever it is out of your diet will make you feel better. And lots of folks make money off it, too. I guess if it's good for the GDP it's good, right?
