Message: <blockquote data-quote="FatEmperor" data-source="post: 943818" data-attributes="member: 207876">Unfortunately you guys are fixated by Insulin Resistance. Wider focus needed. Outside of one exception:"Hyperinsulinemia Is Insulin Resistance. They Are Not Combatants. They Are One And The Same." Joseph R. Kraft MD, MS, FCAPThe obsession with Insulin Resistance is in some ways distracting - focus on the hyperinsulinemia. The exception to Kraft's insightful quote above is that healthy Low-Carb people have what is called 'physiological Insulin resistance'. The body spares glucose for non-muscle tissues as an elegant efficiency measure. There is no hyperinsulinemia per se present. The pathological hyperinsulinemia response that most Americans have can be switched off after a period on low carbohydrate. This makes perfect sense under the three pillars of engineering root cause proof:  1. KT or correlational 2. Mechanistic 3. Experimental.Busy now with more pressing matters - learn from Dr. Kraft, Dr. Bernstein and Dr. Unger - three pillars of medicine, all in their eighties. And honorary engineers, every one.</blockquote>
