Albeit a decent one.He always links to the research he quotes. But I believe it is selective, in favour of veganism. You can find a study to support pretty much anything you like. Gregor acknowledges that.He's also talking to the general public. Not specifically to those of us who already have T2.I currently manage my diabetes following a whole food plant based diet. I'm happy, and it's working for me. Love Dr Gregor's books and vids. But Gregor says himself that T2 diabetics may have to limit refined carbs. And I certainly have to.There are plenty of studies showing fat increases insulin resistance. But what diet works for you? You know that. And I bet for most of us T2s it definitely isn't one that's carb heavy.Of course we know eating loads of sat fat/animal meat etc. isn't fantastic. But what's better for a T2? Find the right balance for you. If the bigger risk is from carbs then don't worry as much about the sat fat etc.</blockquote>
