The burial of the low carb myth

EngineerGuy posted:

Hi folks,

These links have extensive discussion debunking the paleo diet myths, and low carb diet myths.

Both links go the the same series of videos. The first link provides a short synopsis of what is on each video.

He seems a bit manic to me. This guy has posted a huge number may be a hundred, of his lectures all over the youtube. If science worked by flooding the world with words then he would have already received a Nobel prize. Fortunately it doesn't work that way.
