No offense but you literally just ignored everything I wrote and restated the original argument, which I see all the time, which is &quot;medical professionals don&#x27;t understand diet and don&#x27;t recommend the right thing,&quot; which is, frankly, bullshit.<p>Let me repeat: There are zero (0) medical professionals advocating for a high sugar diet.  The &quot;high carb&quot; part of the recommended diet is meant to come from vegetables and whole grains (which contain a fair amount of fiber).<p>There isn&#x27;t any evidence I&#x27;m aware of showing people eating a calorically balanced, low fat, high carb, low sugar, moderate fiber, micronutritionally balanced diet and having diabetes.  I understand that&#x27;s more complex that saying &quot;low fat&#x2F;high carb&quot; but again, there aren&#x27;t doctors out there recommending cutting out fats and subsisting on sugar.  So yes, it&#x27;s a complete and total straw man, but when you only consider large macronutrient groups and ignore the rest of nutrition it&#x27;s easy to see why that seems ignorable.
