ROTFLMAO!!! Must Read

Ruffolo said sound science should provide "sound answers to the diet versus
exercise problem, and question the healthfulness of low-carb diets." He
cited scientific research, stating, "Low-carbohydrate diets conflict decades
of solid scientific research ... Restricting carbohydrates stresses vital
organs while offering no advantages in terms of either fat loss or long-
term weight control." Ruffolo cited evidence that lack of exercise is a
major factor in weight gain.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAA! SUGAR, I suppose, has NOTHING to do with either gaining OR
losing, I suppose?

| Industry Analyst Tells International Sweetener Symposium: U.S. Sugar
| Consumption Ready to Rebound; Low-Carb Fad Fizzling
|
|
| VAIL, Colo., Aug. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- A U.S. sugar industry analyst
| told an international sweetener industry conference here today that
| U.S. sugar consumption is showing signs of rebounding, saying that
| the recent trend of several years of decline "may have reached its
| trough" and that the "the low- carbohydrate diet craze may be fading."
|
| Craig Ruffolo, vice president of McKeany-Flavell, a commodities
| research firm based in Oakland, California, said that "reversing the
| downward trend in U.S. sugar consumption will hinge on three pivotal
| factors: sound science, changing demographics, and sugar containing
| product imports."
|
| Ruffolo was addressing the International Sweetener Symposium being
| held here this week. The Symposium is sponsored by the American Sugar
| Alliance (ASA), the national coalition of growers, processors and
| refiners of sugarbeets and sugarcane, accounting for 146,000 American
| jobs in 19 states.
|
| Ruffolo said sound science should provide "sound answers to the diet
| versus exercise problem, and question the healthfulness of low-carb
| diets." He cited scientific research, stating, "Low-carbohydrate
| diets conflict decades of solid scientific research ... Restricting
| carbohydrates stresses vital organs while offering no advantages in
| terms of either fat loss or long- term weight control." Ruffolo
| cited evidence that lack of exercise is a major factor in weight gain.
|
| With regard to changing demographics, Ruffolo said that the rising
| Hispanic percentage of the U.S. population is a positive because of
| that ethnic group's relative high levels of per capita sugar
| consumption. He expressed concern, however, about rising imports of
| sugar-containing products, as some U.S. food manufacturers have
| joined in the exodus of manufacturing operations to countries with
| lower labor costs.
|
| Ruffolo concluded, nonetheless, "We are close to reversing the
| downward trend" in U.S. sugar consumption.

I'm not sure, but I think that consistently overeating carb-rich foods is
hard on your liver as well, not to mention the fact that such a diet seems
to decrease your ability to consume fats without having a rise in "bad"
cholesterol, according to recent studies.

That would actually lead to drastic weight loss! Of course, the unfortunate
side effect would be death from malnutrition.
