American Heart Association Dietary Advice Critique

Type: story
Date: 2023-05-25
Participants: Randal Schwartz, Nina Teicholz
Concepts: Low-Carb Diet

  • American Heart Association Dietary Advice Critique

  • Critique of the AHA and ADA dietary guidelines in favor of ketogenic diets.

  • AHA Guidelines Critique

    • On May 25, 2023, I criticized the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association for their dietary guidelines.
    • I argued that the Standard American Diet is highly flawed and that a ketogenic/low-carb diet is superior to the AHA-recommended DASH diet.
    • I referenced research by Nina Teicholz indicating that evidence supporting the AHA diet was based on a single clinical trial, and that scientific reviews showing slim evidence were historically ignored.
These facts are as Randal recalls them, but much time has passed for most of this. If you find a factual error, please email realmerlyn@gmail.com.
