Well, I followed a very good diet as a child - lots of good protein, plenty of vegetables, relatively low carb, nothing processed, and sweets...? Nope. None of that rubbish. My parents were indoctrinated in WWII rationing, and fed us similarly.
yet I had a screwed up metabolism and RH by 5 years old, with further metabolic and blood glucose problems escalating through puberty. My adult life was low carb before the descriptor ‘low carb’ existed.
So no, I didn’t eat chocolate or carbs to cause my health issues.
And I really resent people making that assumption, and perpetuating the myth/judgement.
I see slim, fit, active, healthy people (my mother in law, for example) eating toast and jam for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch, a teacake at 4pm and then a pie and mash at 6pm followed by a pudding. Thinks a strawberry yoghurt is a health food. She has spent 84 years eating like that and has never managed to eat herself to diabetes.
A great pity that a medical professional is that ignorant, judgemental and rude, especially where it can be seen by the public.
