I agree to a point but isn’t it beyond doubt that a huge increase in the consumption of “bad sugar/carbs”, over 30 yrs has led to an entirely avoidable type 2 diabetes epidemic? I’d love your view on this, you’re right about so much. Best wishes John athttp://www.allencarr.com

Not at all.
@kevinnbass explains it very well in this blog - if anything, the increase in obesity/T2DM is likely due to an increase in fat consumption https://medium.com/@kevinnbass/the-data-do-not-support-the-idea-that-the-low-fat-dietary-guidelines-caused-the-obesity-epidemic-687e382894ed …2 replies 1 retweet 1 like -

Sometimes the elimination of ref sugar & processed carbs results in increased calorie intake. Calories per se are irrelevant - the real factor is “type of calories”. I’d love to see you dig deep into this. Your view is valued. All the best John at http://www.allencarr.com 2/2

Look, we can have a debate on an individual level about whether a ketogenic/LCHF diet is the best for weightloss, but this isn't really looking at that. The question is whether the increase in calories was driven by increased consumption of carbs

...and based on the best evidence, that doesn't seem to be the case. If you keep your carb intake constant, and just eat more calories as fat, you wouldn't expect to go into ketosis and/or lose weight, so it's not really surprising!
