I found this interesting, though I'm not fully understanding the implications. The conclusions seems familiar (less processed foods, basically), but with newer reasonings. (www.sott.net)

Responses:

the scientific basis has been known for many years, but the medical establishment push low fat food so hard, that it has become ingrained in society. - loosilu Jul 31, 11:42 11
- I always want to go " extreme" when I see stuff like this - Epiphany Jul 31, 11:45 8
  - a couple friends of mine have had fairly good success with a paleo-style diet. - znufrii Jul 31, 11:46 7
    - I just read an article about a guy who went through several diets, all successful to a point, and ended up mostly just cutting out processed carbs. -- (link) - mara Jul 31, 11:53 4
      - and that right there is most of paleo. -- (link) - znufrii Jul 31, 11:57 3
        
        I can eat regular potatoes! - Krusty Jul 31, 12:00 2
        
        and the best part: all the bacon you could ever want. -- nm - znufrii Jul 31, 12:03 1
        
        Oooh. Didn't think of that. It had a face and isn't breaded or batter-dipped. I need to have a healthy diet and this one looks like it could work. - Krusty Jul 31, 12:11
    - I am thinking of doing paleo. I definitely need to do low carb (it's recommended by my doctor and it really works best) but it's so hard to maintiain. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 11:47 1
      - I've considered it as well, it just seems like a lot of work. -- nm - znufrii Jul 31, 11:48
- The inflammation bit was new to me. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 31, 11:45 1
  - I think that interpretation is relatively new. But it has been known for many years that dietary cholesterol has little effect on blood cholesterol. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 11:46
yup, I remember reading that article or at least an excerpt from it a few months ago. - znufrii Jul 31, 11:38
"The long-established dietary recommendations have created epidemics of obesity and diabetes" orly? - zeitgeist Jul 31, 11:36
that is very interesting - very controversial I imagine -- nm - Epiphany Jul 31, 11:34 1
- Nutritional advice for some reason is deeply ingrained and extremely slow to change. none of these findings are new. -- nm - loosilu Jul 31, 11:43
