For the rest of us, can we make this the Low Carb Equivalent of Martin
Luther's 95 Theses? The kind of thing we tack to the doors of our
local branches of the USDA, the AHA, both ADAs, local fitness
celebrities, etc? I live in the residential half of a complex that
houses the Diabetic ADA. I work about half a mile from USDA
headquarters. Are they in need of Martin Luther thesising?

Dr. Davis rants about the AHA the same way educated diabetics rant
against the ADA. A while back, his blog discussed the AHA logo on the
box of Cocoa Puffs:

He summarized, "My advice: Until they change their tune, anything that
carries the endorsement of the American Heart Association should be
eliminated from your diet."

Personally, I noticed the box had one of those "whole grains" logos too.

The reason I keep referring to Dr. Davis is... he has his patients have
heart scans to actually measure their coronary plaque. Then he suggests
various dietary changes (cutting out wheat is primary and he isn't fond
of corn either), exercise, supplements and drugs as needed (he uses
drugs much less than most cardiologists), and the patients get lower
scores on subsequent heart scans.

He has found out what actually works to REVERSE coronary plaque, similar
to how Bernstein found what actually worked for controlling bg in diabetics.

He is somewhat anti-saturated fat, but he seems to be wavering on that
question to some degree. Like the Eades, he changes his mind when it
turns out to be useful. For example, his book suggests l-arginine
supplementaiton, but his blog has back-pedaled as he's noticed a lot of
patients improving their scores without using it.
