Many of these cultures eat a lot of lamb as well but that is never mentioned. Nell - C.M.

There is a presumption that fat and especially saturated fat is bad for you and that any diet that is good for you is due to the low fat component. There have been several recent studies including one just published that showed that a low carb, high protein, high fat diet actually resulted in greater weight loss and a greater lowering of cholesterol than either a low fat or a mediterranean style diet. The mediterranean diet was better than the low fat diet. - Claudio Fratarcangeli Tue, 05 Aug 2008 07:06:51 +0100
