Feinman notes that the paper’s points have never been refuted but have “largely been ignored” by the organizations that produce guidelines for diabetes patients. Meanwhile, the medical establishment continues to favor low-fat diets and harbor “disdain if not genuine hostility for low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diets.” As a result, Feinman claims, “the diabetes epidemic has not improved and may have gotten worse.” Read More Diabetes and Carbohydrate Restriction: Where Are We Now?

As a result, there are more cures and treatments on the market but less proof that they are safe and effective.
