[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2174683, member: 196898"] Gosh it was my thread after all. I did not run with it since it seemed to be bssically doing what Jason Fung has been promoting i.e. Intermittent fssting. But Jasons advice is cheaper to implement, and has far less of the hype that Valter uses to impress his readers. Knowing Valter is running a significant meal replacement diet plan on the back of this research makes me cautious of claims being made. The study was made using mice, and is making claims that a diet can regenerate beta cells in T1D. Forget the pseudo science bit, if this paper is valid then it needs much more work before it can be tested on humans, who after all have a very different endocrine system to mice. He was vey quick in launchinng his diet plan based on these claims, so I still advise caution before getting too far into this gentlemans web. He has a very commercial profile on the web if you get my meaning. He is not showing up as a qualified endocrinologist for example, so his use of that jargon suggests he is using it to blind us with science. His profile on Quackwatch is interesting, and wikkepedia does not think too highly of him either. His expertise is in ageing, and not diabetes. He may have solved the T1D issue, but I have my doubts. If you are looking for the magic bullet I suggest it is not to be found in that report. [/QUOTE]
