Are the millions of lives in the room with us right now?

Better yet, can you point to deaths directly attributable to the food pyramid?

"Oh no, if only I hadn't learned the wrong food pyramid in 4th grade!"

The food pyramid diet causes diabetes, and insulin's resistance.

Cool now prove how many people actually decided their diets based on the food pyramid and you'll have taken the first step in showing that it cost millions of lives lol

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

And millions of people that learned it the old way in 4th grade will magically have this new information and immediately absorb it and trust it completely? The doctors treating the patients with these problems will already recommend modified diets, so it won't help them. So it must be for the children that will learn the new food pyramid. Cool. How do we know this is effective already? The results of such a change won't be measurable for decades. Seems a bit premature to declare a massive policy win when it hasn't been actually measured.

Because doctors that switched from low salt high carb diets for patients with high blood pressure have almost none of them reverse their condition and they stay on meds their while life. The ones they switched to low carb high salt diets for if meds in 3 months.

The same thing is happening to diabetes. The doctor getting people off the old diabetic diet plans are reversing the disease.

All is this has been happening for the last 5 years. We won't see results on the future, it's happening now.

Weight loss doctors have also failed to produce and results in weight loss management for the last 40 years (97% failure rate, including surgery) until recently. It's because everyone we know about food was wrong for the last few decades. Shit we even replaced butter with margarine and beef fat with crisco and wondered why heart disease increased. We now have the data that shows these alternative fats are killing people.

New immerging data is also showing high ldl isn't caused by high cholesterol diets, it's caused by damage to the body from sugar. The ldl is the body trying to repair the damage.

Dementia was always thought of as a brain disorder. Now it's starting to be called diabetes type 3 because studies are finding insulin resistance is causing the brain condition, and this rise is from the food pyramid and telling people to eat 3 times a day with small snacks. It prevents the brain from repairing itself.

Also the old people that learned this old information won't change their minds, they are dead now, or dying of heart disease, or diabetes, or have dementia and won't learn anything new. Old people are stubborn.
