I'm not sure any claim is being made, Doug, other than in his own
practice (and in various other studies) small LDL particles are a
significant risk factor for CHD. More studies would need to be done to
confirm any link between eating "gluten-free foods" and having small
LDL particles.

That "the nice people" bit does imply that the folks who put such
products on the market are/were unaware of such risks. *That's
definitely true of the folks who put maragine on the market decades ago.
A lot of people though maragerine was beneficial until the long term
studies showed otherwise.

Given what we now know about HFCS, etc., it's not hard to imagine that
"the nice people" knew exactly what they were doing.

Another evil conspiracy theory. It couldn't be the
perfectly logical idea that the "nice people" are just giving people
what they want,

I don't remember any great demand from the people that food
manufacturers stop using sugar and start using a bunch of chemicals in
their place, or that they stop making butter and start making tubs of
chemicals instead, etc.

See: "pull" marketing.

Nota bene: One of the worst decisions (in my opinion) ever made was to
allow Big Pharma to directly advertise presciption drugs to the
public, another case of "pull" marketing (or "conspiracy") that has
had serious health consequences.

ie gluten free products very similar to the ones
they are currently consuming.

You're an excellent example of why a good number of people who eat
low-carb are unsuccessful.

You want to have your cake, and eat it, too.

Good luck with that!
