FDA finally with new sugar recommendations to US citizens. WHO had these out for awhile now........guess FDA had to check the 'research'? 
http://www.businessinsider.com/fda-proposes-new-sugar-limits-2015-11
The Food and Drug Administration just announced that Americans should eat and drink no more than 50 grams of sugar — roughly the amount in a single can of Coke — each day.
nt; this is ADDED sugar.
fresh off the presses, from The Lancet.........

[h=1]Effect of low-fat diet interventions versus other diet interventions on long-term weight change in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis[/h]
[h=3]Background[/h]The effectiveness of low-fat diets for long-term weight loss has been debated for decades, with many randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and recent reviews giving mixed results. We aimed to summarise the large body of evidence from RCTs to determine whether low-fat diets contribute to greater weight loss than participants' usual diet, low-carbohydrate diets, and other higher-fat dietary interventions.
[h=3]Findings[/h]3517 citations were identified by the search and 53 studies met our inclusion criteria, including 68 128 participants (69 comparisons). In weight loss trials, low-carbohydrate interventions led to significantly greater weight loss than did low-fat interventions
[h=3]Interpretation[/h]These findings suggest that the long-term effect of low-fat diet intervention on bodyweight depends on the intensity of the intervention in the comparison group. When compared with dietary interventions of similar intensity, evidence from RCTs does not support low-fat diets over other dietary interventions for long-term weight loss.

is it finally over for the low-fat weight loss era?.......
