[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1669633, member: 459333"] That's the kind of answer that's so impossible to come back at it wins debating competitions! It really made me think. It leads to a very different way of looking at Type 2 diabetes: If you take the view that humans never evolved to eat any or many carbs, then you could argue that Type 2 diabetes is not, in fact, a disease. Carbs are poisons, so Type 2 is no more a defect than is our inability to survive long falls. Further, you could argue that people who are not (currently) Type 2, are just people who are abnormally resistant to this particular poison. The more a population is flooded with carbohydrates, the more individuals are poisoned, which seems a reasonable description of the problem in many societies over the last few decades. There are so many ways to look at it. [/QUOTE]
