[QUOTE="pdmjoker, post: 1881321, member: 468524"] Sister site Diabetes UK has a document: [URL='https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.diabetes.org.uk/resources-s3/2017-09/low-carb-diets-position-statement-May-2017.pdf&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwiKvJGgn8LdAhUGDiwKHdSdDaYQFggIMAI&client=internal-uds-cse&cx=000402109209955420290:c-triv4riva&usg=AOvVaw2T-Ov-P-A22bHIcAIUU7Lc']https://www.diabetes.org.uk/resources-s3/2017-09/low-carb-diets-position-statement-May-2017.pdf[/URL] entitled [B]Position statement - [/B]Low-carb diets for people with diabetes. In the document it says: [INDENT]"Most carbohydrates are broken down into glucose which is an essential fuel for the brain"[/INDENT] and references a research paper which says "The mammalian brain depends on glucose as its main source of energy." If that were true, then my brain would have stopped shortly after me going Keto! :) According to Jason Fung: [INDENT]"... what they mean, is that the brain requires some glucose to function, but it doesn't require you to eat glucose to function and that's the distinction." "... the body can actually manufacture glucose and this is a process called gluconeogenesis. So your body has the ability to take fat and produce glucose and that's how it works."[/INDENT] taken from: [URL]https://www.dietdoctor.com/brain-need-carbohydrates-2[/URL] The Diabetes UK document continues: [INDENT]"Interpreting dietary research is not without disagreements, which is why Diabetes UK continues to base recommendations on robust evidence rather than opinions."[/INDENT] and [INDENT]"The evidence shows that total energy intake is the main predictor of weight loss"[/INDENT] Hmm...
