Surprised he hasn’t commented? He’s normally very vocal in forums such as this.

The report found that the intake of sugar reduced by 150g per capita per year not 600g as was originally reported and that sugar from soft drinks etc reduced not the actual volume of soft drinks.

These were seen as a miscalculation not intentional however both are still a decrease in sugar intake and therefore the point of the article is valid ie obesity went up sugar went down.

What truth? Their research was proven flawed. They have to go back and fix it. They were exonerated from being deliberately misleading. They just made an honest mistake.

They may have been exonerated (for being dodgy) but they have effectively been told to go back and do their sums properly. The “Australian Paradox” itself is a myth. We are the same as other western countries around the world…there simply is NO paradox.

Nicole, I didn’t slander Pete Evans. I just disagreed with his point of view. Regards, Bill

Hhmmm, so it’s OK for you to slander Pete Evans and say that he should be arrested but not OK to question these two Dr’s? I would call that double standards.

SO good to read about the completion of this process. The complainant is obsessed with sugar – David Gillespie is his hero, and he spends hours on The Conversation, commenting on every thread relating to diet, and linking anyone with a degree from the University of Sydney to the study (including myself – because he found that my degree was from Univ of Sydney – over thirty years ago. I’ll be pleased to refer him to the full report.

I feel for the nutrition profession, under attack from the self-made ”experts” and the zealots.
