I've gone in circles during my life with different diets along with changing views on diet. Research is very iffy on the topic as there are so many variants. Having completed a research qualification in nursing, the first thing I was told is that "research does not prove anything".
The varying views on diet we all have, are like religious beliefs. So I thought it would be useful to start a list whereby 'everyone' agrees a truth. So I will start the list, please add to it, but if anyone disagrees (rightly or wrongly) I remove the truth from the list.
The 100% truth list. Or something we all believe is true!
(N.B directly related to diet, death and taxes do not count! haha)
Carbs increase your blood glucose. (challenged)
Protein increases your blood glucose, but not as much. (challenged)
Calorie restriction works to lose weight. (challenged)
Long term high sugars causes insulin resistance. (challenged)
1.. Vegans need to supplement (in the broadest term) with Vit b12
2. Our beliefs reflect what opinions best sit with our emotional needs. (LittleGreycat).
3. Our gut biotic and bacteria are different from everyone else. (Lamont D).
4. Vegans and carnivores do agree that sugar is not a useful food as it contains no nutrients and is potentially addictive (challenged). Some advocate that it should be removed from the list of foods Generally Regarded As Safe in the US (Gras status). (NicoleC1971)
