Tune in, we might actually hear the truth!
Low Carb Aussie dietitian, Feng-Yuan Liu, Metro Dietetics has also been interviewed for the upcoming ABC 4Corners program on Sugar.
This young woman inspires me so much. We have mentored each other for years and finally met at the Low Carb Downunder meeting on the Gold Coast last year β‘
Yuan writes: "4 weeks ago, I was honoured to be interviewed by ABC 4Corners investigative journalist Michael Brissenden to discuss the state of nutrition in this country.
"For a long time now, we know that the Australian Dietary Guidelines are riddled with faulty misinformation, and outdated science. It also doesnβt help that these very Guidelines are heavily supported and promoted by the Dietitiansβ Association of Australia, the governing body that I (and over 6000 other dietitians) registered with to keep our titles as Accredited Practising Dietitians.
"Looking into the current body of evidence, we know that sugar and a high intake of carbohydrates, NOT fat, is the underlying problem for all these conditions.
"So, why are the outdated Guidelines, promoting a low fat high carb way of eating, still being regarded as the best framework for healthy eating?
"But, more intriguingly -
"Why are those who speak up against the Guidelines being punished and silenced?
"Putting it all on the line, we chat candidly with Michael about what we believe, and the change we desperately need to actually improve the health of Australians.
"With The Australian Medical Association (AMA) and the Dietitianβs Association of Australia (DAA) also being interviewed, make sure to tune in to ABC on Monday 30th April at 8:30pm AEST to see what unfolds."
