Diets, A History Of Failure

Excerpt from The Genetic Key Diet by Dr. Steve Nugent

"Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
George Santayana, Philosopher, poet 1863-1886

So let's learn the history so we don't have to repeat it with our diets.
Here is the Chronology -

- First recorded low carb diet 1860
- First diet movement 1898 (reduced food consumption and increased cereals)
- Low Carbohydrate USA 1960's
- Dr. Atkins Diet Revolution 1972
- American Diet Craze Starts 1972
- Hyperinsulinism and obesity connection, Canada 1979
- Glycemic Index invented, Canada 1981
- Low Fat, USA 1980's
- Low Glycemic, Australia and Canada 1990's
- Low Glycemic, USA 1997 (Harvard Medical School only)
- Low Glycemic makes front page USA Today March 1005

Why do we need a dramatic paradigm shift from old failed methods? Because:
In America there are 295,734,134 million people as of July 2005
- 105 Million have cholesterol above 200 mg/dl (high)
- 73 million have high blood pressure
- 61 million are obese
- 17 million have diabetes
- More than 90 million do not exercise at all
