Diet warning

edit

Readers please note that the weight-loss diet recommended by Brody is based on high-carbohydrate foods, some with a high glycemic index. This could be problematic or even dangerous to people prone to Type 2 diabetes, an issue (whether they know it or not) for many baby boomers among others. As with any "unbalanced" diet for the purpose of weight loss, your doctor's advice is the only way to know that it doesn't involve health risks for you as an individual. -- Deborahjay (talk) 08:05, 27 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

I would debate that doctors are the end-all be-all though, since many of them are the witch-doctors that cook up this crap. I agree in this case as high-carbohydrate foods are likely the leading cause of obesity and type 2 diabetes/insulin resistance, but Jane Brody is also a bandwagon hopper who ate up every flawed study Ancel Keys and Joseph Stamler produced - both of whom are doctors. 12.199.244.100 (talk) 12:57, 14 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
