In his post of 26 May, Loren Cordain stated that
"the reduced carbohydrate content of per-agric. diets would
have improved the portions of the blood lipid profile
(TG, VLDL, HDL, Lp(a)) which are worsened by high carb diets".
He cites a 1995 paper by Reaven.

In their reply to Loren Cordain of June 29, Sally Fallon and
Mary Enig say that "orthodox nutritionists content that high
carb. diets improve blood lipid profiles."

In his reply of Oct. 9, Prof Cordain provides further references
for positive blood lipid changes resulting from reduced
carbohydrate diets.

So, are the orthodox nutritionists wrong?
