I would hope nobody is out there actively promoting a low fat diet. Here is the link for these guys who are apparently promoting the low carb way of life weightoftheevidence.wordpress.com They are calling for low carb ideas apparently studies and ideas for spreading the word: <Ever since the publication of Gary’s Taubes’ Good Calories, Bad Calories, folks within the low-carb community have suggested and discussed various study designs to investigate the alternate hypothesis, the “Carbohydrate Hypothesis”, explored in the book. The biggest issue isn’t so much designing a study, but funding a study large enough and controlled enough to reach valid conclusions. With obesity considered one of the most pressing health issues of our time, wouldn’t it be great if we could find the resources necessary to investigate, in a really well done trial, that alternate hypothesis? Enter Project 10100 - a call for ideas to change the world by helping as many people as possible. Project 10100 is accepting submissions of ideas for projects until October 20, 2008. One hundred ideas will be selected for public review and voting to narrow the field to twenty semi-finalists. An advisory board will then select five projects to fund from a commitment by Google of $10-million dollars. One category is “Health” and the critera provided to help those submitting ideas includes: Criteria: Reach: How many people would this idea affect? Depth: How deeply are people impacted? How urgent is the need? Attainability: Can this idea be implemented within a year or two? Efficiency: How simple and cost-effective is your idea? Longevity: How long will the idea’s impact last? Project 10100 may be a way to fund a study to investigate the Carbohydrate Hypothesis! If you’d like to submit your ideas, you can go to the Project 10100 website, or directly to the submission page.> 1 comment September 25, 2008 A Picture Worth 1000-Words And they provide links for Dr. Michael Eades, MD Dr. William Davis, MD
