I take your point. The" i don't get it feeling" can crop up frequently theses days for me as well, eg Harvard school of public health, american heart Assn, ADA, etc. Organizations like those suffer from enormous inertia for various reasons.
Care must also be taken with the revival tent over-reaction that we see in alot of diet based stuff as well. while it may seem obvious to you, and most others here, it is careful regulation of carb intake that diabetics must attempt to practice, not elimination; after all our brains require and all cells are fueled by glucose. And while it may be dramatic and fun to declare that "diabetes is a disease of carbohydrate intolerance" why not stick to the clinical facts and describe the actual mechanisms [ie no insulin in type ones, insulin resistance and undetermined pancreas output in type twos] ? If people are going to effectively grapple with this stuff, they need facts, not characterizations.
The nanny-state and free speech stuff, different issue.
