Diet? What diet?
CSIRO's Clinical Research Unit in Adelaide is renowned for its research into nutritional and genetic factors involved in obesity, cardiovascular disease, bowel cancer and diabetes. Studies involving volunteers are identifying foods and food components which improve health.
New or recycled diets continue to cause confusion among the public and health professionals who advise on diet regimes.
A number of dietitians contacted The Clinic's Director, Dr Peter Clifton, to ask about the high protein diets being promoted without good supporting evidence. Dr Clifton discussed the issue with Dr Manny Noakes, CSIRO's Senior Research Dietitian. Clinic staff had also been interested in the effectiveness of diets with different protein: fat: carbohydrate ratios. So they designed a series of studies to get some answers.
