This is lame-brain hand-waving dismissal in order to continue being lazy and essentially helpless in our personal health. Doctors make standardized dietary recommendations that are not enough to protect and heal against lifestyle diseases. Compare the 30% fat American Heart Association diet to the Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. McDougall, or Dr. Esselstyn diets that recommend 10% fat and whole foods, not products marketed as 'low fat' snacks and meals. The latter diets are clinically shown to reverse heart disease, essentially heal Type II diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and many other diseases. There is ongoing research by McDougall into multiple sclerosis, based on past great success with the low fat Swank diet. The standard dietary advice is given largely because people can't make enough changes to even follow that, much less make the effort to have every single meal conform to something as seemingly 'radical' as a 10% fat diet. So yes, arn, "doctors recommend diet and exercise all the time", but it's not to the extent necessary to bring about meaningful results. But carry on with your dismissal of anything that doesn't make you feel good (mentally, physically, or morally) as "tin foil conspiracies". And follow the herd and make sure others can take care of you (and pay for you) when you get sick. |

So you agree with me. People won't follow even a "moderate" diet. So why do you think they will follow a more stringent diet?
But (as the OP does) blaming it on a lack of financial motives does put it squarely in the conspiracy theory realm for me, as it ignores any individual responsibility and blames it on the "bad system" instead.
