    Wrong Kern folks


    MarC Kern is the person you are referring to.





    The MarK Kern that wrote the article:



    Education

    Ph.D., Purdue University, 1995, Foods and Nutrition
    M.S., Indiana University, 1991, Nutrition Science
    B.S., Indiana University, 1990, Nutrition Science



    Research Areas

    I have several areas of professional interest. I am particularly interested in the effects of diet and exercise on nutritional status (i.e., blood lipids, bone health and energy metabolism) as well as the effects of diet on exercise metabolism and performance. Lately, we have been working on several functional foods that may have influences on some of these issues. In particular, we have studied less refined sweeteners (e.g., honey, agave nectar, etc.) and oils (minimally refined soybean and corn oils) as well as foods such as dried plums, mushrooms, eggs, miracle fruit, pistachios, chocolate, pullulan and raisins and have dedicated much research to address the influences of L-alanine on exercise metabolism. Below are a few representative grants, publications, and presentations related to my research.

    Dr. Kern is a Beverly Hills psychologist specializing in addictions who disagrees with alcoholics anonymous and advocates slow reduction in amounts of alcohol instead.

    The corn industry is very concerned about studies showing that fructose is digested differently from glucose although they cannot dispute those studies.

    Robert Lustig is a pediatric endocrinologist whose research is in the field of neuroendocrinology, with an emphasis on the regulation of energy balance by the central nervous system.

    Look at Kern's own web page and then watch Lustig's university lecture "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" (http://www.uctv.tv/shows/Sugar-The-Bitter-Truth-16717) and decide who you think is better placed to provide the scientific evidence.

    From Wikipedia: "Lustig has authored over 85 research articles and 45 book chapters. He is a former chairman of the Obesity Task Force of the Pediatric Endocrine Society, a member of the Obesity Task force of The Endocrine Society, and on the Steering Committee of the International Endocrine Alliance to Combat Obesity."

    From Wikipedia: "Dr. Marc Kern is a Los Angeles based psychologist whose practice is focused on substance abuse and addiction treatment. In 2013 he and Adi Jaffe, Ph.D. founded Addiction Alternatives,[1] a Beverly Hills-based addiction treatment program. Kern began as a professional architect, then returned to college, becoming a licensed clinical psychologist in California. He is also a Certified Addiction Specialist, a Certified Rational Addictions Therapist, and is certified by the American Psychological Association in the Treatment of Alcohol and Other Psychoactive Substance Use Disorders. Dr. Kern was one of the founding members of SMART Recovery, Rational Recovery, and Moderation Management."

    Personally, I avoid excess or added fructose. Since hubby's doctor didn't like his recent triglycerides numbers what did she ask him to cut back on? Fat? Red meat? Nope, fruits, fruit juice, and fruit juice concentrates.

    I'm afraid with his sudden claims to be an expert on this topic, Kerns goes into my "Ducks like a Quack" Box with Dr. Oz.

    Unfortunately, qualifications don't make you right or wrong, being right or wrong does. I've read a good chunk of the Kern article so far, and who paid for it to be written doesn't change the fact that it made some pretty serious accusations, backed by studies, for possibly intentional misrepresentation of the truth. This doesn't necessarily mean that Fat Chance's conclusions are completely wrong, but it does make the book look rather shoddy as a whole.

    I'll read it in more detail, but still take it with a grain of salt.

    As a guide, food is divided into green, yellow and red groups.

    Green - eat ad lib, yellow - limit to 3X weekly, red foods - eat no more than 1x week.

    sounds almost exactly like the GI diet and putting foods into those categories

    Low gi, medium, and high

    Because of obesity is increasing so it metabolic disorders, so people could benefit from reducing sugars/carbs anyway. (as alot arent diagnosed/unaware)

    I dont know if i can take something seriously that reminds me of the stig from top gear on bbc =/
