[QUOTE="IanD, post: 855696, member: 6186"] My kidney function eGFR dropped to about 60 (from a recommended 90+) while I was on the DUK diet 10-12 years ago & Dr said they were "watching it." For the last 7 years on the LCHF diet, my eGFR has been stable - still in the 60s. Also my heart health, at 76 y-o is excellent, with resting BP at about 130/70 & no problem playing vigorous tennis & table tennis. I had 3 doubles tennis sets Saturday mostly with & against younger folk. 6/3 2/6 6/3 - about 3 hours. I admit I didn't want a 4th set. I have been involved with a long-running heart-diabetes project since about 1990. (SABRE) Comprehensive scans etc last September showed that I have no health problems needing further attention. IMO there are a vast number of unsupported dietary myths, assertions & observations being confused by the fact that most people have a very mixed diet. Researchers may ask selective questions or even population studies - like the infamous heart disease, sat fat study. BUT - don't overload your deep fried chips in salt - it may be the reused oil that is the problem. We often hear that drinking coffee is good for us in some way, & as often, that it is harmful. I drink tea, never coffee - so is my good health & stable diabetes linked to my tea drinking? No - my health was restored by LCHF, with no change in my tea drinking. I recommend you ask your Dr for blood test results at least from diabetes diagnosis, & to study to see any trends. [/QUOTE]
