The findings don?t mean you should gorge on meat, or that carbs should be shunned. But the study involving 159 adults with borderline or mild high blood pressure found the best results with diets that replaced some carbohydrates with protein like nuts and dairy, or with healthy fats, like olive oil.

Yes. Change comes slowly. Humans hate to relinquish long held beliefs.

Specially true for scientists. They say that the only time that a new theory becomes accepted is when all the advocates of the previous one die of old age...

Agreed. The scientific community, instead of using science as an information gathering exercise upon which to base assessments/extended investigation/changed practices, instead often stagnates/pontificates on results from outdated and outmoded methodology and concepts. I daresay in many instances this agenda is driven by research & development funding being provided by vested interests for pre-determined outcomes and/or to maintain the status pro.
