can't say I agree with that statement. I would have to say from the diet recommended to me by my doctor niether does he. I agree with the nutritios part and mostly with the fiber part. But, I am of the opinion that the low fat craze has been a major contributing factor in the obesity problem. All fat is not bad! the right fats help you burn fat. All carbs and no fat make Johnny a fat boy.
