Episode 150: Dr. Gary Fettke

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD
Podcast. We are very excited to welcome Dr. Gary Fettke, a
legend and a trail blazer in the LowCarb community, to the
show. Dr. Fettke is an orthopedic surgeon from Tasmania who
came to prominence through his vocal opposition to some of the
recommendations of the Dietary Guidelines. He was targeted by
the cereal industry—who were in a paid contractural agreement
with the Dietitians Association of Australia—who attempted to
silence his anti-sugar, low carb message.


In this episode, Dr. Fettke sheds light on the major
influencers of the world’s dietary guidelines—the sugar
industry and the Adventist Church Group (a religious group that
effectively owns the cereal industry of the world, the soy
industry, and started the fake meat industry). Both of these
groups are also heavily influential in medical education.


Additionally, we discuss the definition of diabetes, why sugar,
carbs, and polyunsaturated oils are the perfect storm of
dietary disaster, the effect that a ketogenic diet can have on
arthritic pain, why CGMs are an incredible resource, the
Maillard Reaction, the birth of the pharmaceutical industry,
and how the medical industry has been influenced by external
forces with private agendas.


Gary Fettke’s rewriting of the Dietary Guidelines in one
sentence: “We need to eat fresh, local, seasonal, whole foods,
based in environmental and cultural beliefs, reducing added
sugar and processed food.”
