High Fat vs. High Carb and How the Tiny Word "Synthetic" May Turn Out to Be an Epic Game Changer That Puts a HUGE Question Mark Behind "If It Fits Your Macros"

As of late it seems as if the rebels, i.e. the low-carbers were getting the upper hand and that despite the constant supplies the low fat veterans are getting from their friends in the medical establishment - friends who pay for studies the veterans to agrue how stupid and off base the rebels' assumption that "low carbing" would help us to solve the obesity epidemic actually actually were.
