Hi
@OrsonKartt
NO expert here, and i understand your concerns, particularly in light of family connections.
I have little basis for this, but i do concur with
@Charis1213 theory.
I also question that IF the general medical authorities poo-poo the LCHF,
(and as i see it they generally seem to miss the entire point of what LOW CARB is, imho.)
then the data they use, would i imagine be based around those who have NOT managed their Blood Glucose levels that well over many years.
I mean how could they, when they are told not to test, taught to eat the wrong food & simply rely on the medication doled out..?
So ...
* Get an illness/disease that makes you allergic/intolerant of many foods..
* Fail to manage your blood sugars,
* Eat inappropriate food that SPIKES YOU as an individual,
* Take little action on the steps you CAN take to limit the effects of the disease..
* Just keep taking the meds and hope they work ok
Seems a recipe for illness and an earlier death, to me
I like to think of us on here, as something the X-men would search for.
Superhumans, doing the impossible, proving impervious to Nuclear radiation, kryptonite.& carbohydrates.
the real axis of evil..
But we all know it is something many 'normal' people can achieve, if ONLY they knew how.
So my point is, that the records will show a disproportionate amount of data, re complications, etc simply because so many previously had no other way of living but accepting the slow degeneration of their bodies.
While you are right to be cautious, i do believe we have, as group collective, imbued ourselves by OUR own actions, through a better way of living and eating, some measure of improvement, over previous diabetic generations, that has ramification far beyond those simple numbers we loving cherish and garner each morning.
best regards, my friend.
and good luck with the testing you require.
