[QUOTE="Sunspot, post: 596035, member: 118796"] The idea that the diabetes is a liver condition is new and interesting. thanks for sharing that thought. With regards to the changes in diet since WW2. There is a really interesting british tv series called The Men Who Made us Fat and followed by the Men Who Made us Thin. If you haven't seen i highly recommend it and you can find it on you tube. It has persuaded me that the cause of the obesity epidemic is the food industry. It explores a lot of the issues and makes very compelling arguments. I am also seeing more of this in books and so on. Right Now i'm reading In Defense of Food which raises some of the arguments but more sharply points out the dangers of processed foods which a lot of people are struggling to accept and go with. that is to say, whole foods are healthier so minimise all processed foods. For my part, apart from ice-cream and other obvious problem foods, i've been avoiding these processed foods for some time e.g. low fat milk products and any other low fat foods, as well always avoiding things like energy bars and the like. I was never persuaded by the low fat milk idea. It didn't ring true to me that a whole food that no longer tasted good could be healthier than the whole food version. That said, a certain degree of processing isn't considered a major problem but if you compare cornflakes and fruit loops it should be obvious which is the more unhealthy. Cornflakes at least does not loads of sugar in it. So common sense is required. its good to know that the energy drinks and products for sport are being ditched. But really low carb is probably only very important for diabetics and insulin resistant people. It has other advantages for non diabetics etc,when dieting but its not essential i'm finding. I can lose weight on either diet. And i expect i can keep it on off on either diet too. The main advantage for high fat low carb is less hunger when dieting - because my body is providing the extra fuel, when there's a calorie deficit. Yes i think we have to make our doctors read some of the books we're reading. [/QUOTE]
