According to the living-proof, that statement is just meat-ind propaganda to avoid losing billions from the low-fat-craze.

Considering all the high-carb thin people(and Fruitarians like myself), I think obesity & diabetes are caused by the popularity of "High-sugar AND high-fat" together.

This PubMed link The unique merits of a low-fat diet for weight control. - Abstract - Europe PubMed Central
shows that carbs themselves can't make you fat(and why low-fat works).

any carb that can be quickly digested into glucose will cause (triglycerides to soar)

Maybe studies on sugar(HFCS?) were extrapolated and applied to fruit for the "War on fruit", but it doesn't make "natural sense"(fruit is the only food nature makes solely for eating, and it's not reflected in fruitarians' blood test.

I thought we were talking sugar. Not foods that have naturally occurring sugar. Anything processed these days has sugar ADDED. Clearly it is designed to make that taste "normal". Stop eating sugar-added foods and the taste buds will adjust. And appetite will also adjust. The world is loaded with people who only consume sugar as a natural product. Eating meat is NOT the "other option". You could just as well eat Greek yogurt with no added sugar with 24g protein per 8 ounces. And the irony is that our meat is sugar added too through the regimen of feedlots. That's how the GET all that fat on and in the meat. Feeder animals go from a natural to a high-sugar diet and eat all day long to make the transition to the slaughterhouse faster. If humans eat a similar diet, how can they NOT come to look and act like feedlot animals?

Took a few minutes to look up added sugar. One comparison. A serving of fresh squeezed orange juice has 20 grams of sugar. A serving of Minute Maid has 30. What do you suppose they do to make Minute Maid sweeter? Raise extra sugary oranges? Now if that was your total extra sugar in a day and you drank only one serving, it might have zero impact. But that's just a small corner of the problem. Non-diet soft drinks have all that sugar some color and flavoring, but beyond that, who really needs the drink, so the sugar has no reason for being in the diet. And there are other examples like sugar in tomato sauces. You can make a sauce at home and leave out all sugar. Meaning you get only the 4 grams of sugar that a raw tomato has. This could go on for some time, but it'd only show sugar all over the place, mostly to boost sales.
