Curing Type 2 Diabetes — New! At Last, Cure Diabetes Now
Curing diabetes has been at the forefront of medical research for decades. The “Why” of diabetes has befuddled millions in Establishment medicine for a long-time. In the mid-1900’s diabetes was joined at the hip with the “Cause of Heart Disease” crowd, blaming fat as the main culprit and then advocating a low-fat diet:
* overweight and obesity soared as people fattened up like cattle in a pen
* diabetes rates climbed along with obesity — they’re usually coupled
* carbohydrates were considered innocuous and all the blame for disease fell on fat
Wow, cholesterol and fat were not the cause of diabetes. That’s what I’m telling you. The research is just now coming in and the story is that it always was our much-loved carbohydrates that were doing the damage. And just not sugar, but fruits, and grains, and many vegetables. The low-fat dogma blinded otherwise brilliant people and blinded them.
What was the logic in its thinking? Bone simple: eating fat would lead to fat accumulation in the body. But… the factual biochemistry is that carbs become the fat on your body, not fat.
Do these new insights rock you? The public has been blind-sided because no one took the time to go to the medical library and do a little research. That would have shown that by 1950 the biochemists knew that the body converts carbohydrates to fat and the fat we eat does not become the fat in and on our bodies.
When the low-carb diet exploded on the scene in 2002-2003, several scientists took a hard look at low-carbing to see if all the negative press it had received held up under scrutiny:
* fast reduction in body weight and body fat
* sugar in the blood dropped whereas there was no change in the low-fat diet group
* so-called dangerous fats (saturated — but never proven dangerous) dropped in low-carb
* the low-fat diet could not hold its own against low-carb as it won hands down
The low-carb diet is just what a diabetic needs to solve this disease. And changes happen rapidly when you decrease carbohydrate intake. Fat-burning increases and sugar use drops while blood sugar drops dramatically. Just what the doctor should be ordering.
Associated with diabetes and obesity is Metabolic Syndrome which is characterized by:
* overweight and obesity
* diabetes
* heart and vascular diseases
* elevated blood pressure
Recent studies show that carbohydrate-restriction might sensibly be the “default” diet to be tried FIRST for patients with Metabolic Syndrome. In the case of normal weight people with this condition, carbohydrate restriction may be the only effective non-drug approach for treating it.
Low-fat was never proven to be healthful and low-carb was shown to be a great health improver. Unfortunately, no one read this research completed during the last 50 years of the 20th century. Claims were just made about the dangers of eating diets higher in fat (although followers of the low-carb diet actually don’t eat more fat).
Eating carbs and fat together is a prescription for disaster yet this is the way most people eat — a balanced diet the “experts” call it. Wrong. Switch to low-carbohydrate but don’t follow either the Atkins’s diet or South Beach Diet. Atkins’s plan if full of flaws and South Beach isn’t even a low-carb diet.
