The media make money from advertisers. Nearly half of television
advertising, for example, is paid for by producers of low-fat,
carbohydrate-rich foodstuffs.
And what would pharmaceutical companies and doctors do if autoimmune
disease was drastically reduced through a massive shift to
low-carbohydrate/Paleolithic eating?
A lot of people have a lot to gain from maintaining the status-quo
common wisdom of the low-fat diet.
