[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2493318, member: 196898"] The area in Italy is the town of Pioppi which is where Ancel Keys lived and wrote his treatise on Low Fat being the beneficial aspect of their diet. Their diet is of interest to me since it is the one I am now following as it is a low carb version of the Mediterranenan diet, so maybe that is the beneficial aspect? Alcohol is recognised as being a glucose lowering treatment - whisky in my case. But is it actually lowering the level, or is it masking the effect by interfering with the bgl meter enzyme action? We know these meters are sensitive to many 'impurities; such as maltose and malitol and also to the heaematocrit value. If the alcohol as a known toxin is increasing imflammation then the body will produce more white blood cells in response, and thus affect the haematocrit ratio. Just musing, but as far as I have seen there has been no sensible study done that uses assay techniques to eliminate these possibilities [/QUOTE]
