Re: I agree, by going low fat

The body stores acids in fat to protect itself from the acids. Sugar as an example is extremely acidic therefore the body makes fat to store those acids. Artificial sweeteners are also very acid so the body makes fat to store them as well along with other acid foods and drinks such as alcohol,coffee,meat,white breads,high fructose corn syrup,cigarettes, pharmacutical drugs,and more. The body creates fat,holds water, and makes cholesterol to protect itself and when those acids make contact with an organ like say the heart,liver,or pancreas inflammation and disease sets in. With some its cancer, with others its inflamed arteries that start collecting the excessive cholesterol the body makes to protect itself from acid. Cholesterol is not the problem acid is the problem but the drug industry and medicine have sold us on the cholesterol idea and are getting rich selling useless and dangerous statins when the real problem is acid, but there is no money in fighting acid so the public is being deceived and slaughtered for profit. Diabetes is one area that is being badly managed by medicine because there is so much in the treatment and none for the drug companies if there is a cure. Drug companies are in the business of managing symptoms not in cures and with a 550 billion profit will squash anyone or anything like a bug that dares to challenge them. Anyone, doctor, politician, newspaper, magazine or internet posters.
