TYPE 2 Diabetes is HISTORY
It seems that the advice to reduce fat and cholesterol has had the opposite effect to that which was intended.
Food manufacturers have replaced the fat with sugars, which is now in everything, and the results are of pandemic proportions.
Ancel Keys has probably killed as many people as Hitler.
However science has prevailed over the interests of the Corn factors the makers of fizzy pop and breakfast cereal. You can not only avoid T2D, but if you already have it you can reverse it.
Here's just one study of many, newly published.

The contents of food are critical. There is such a need to know what junk is put into it and it may be connected to food for the masses. The metabolic syndrome is important too and there is such a need for people to be aware of their own bodies and the factors which come into play, especially as people are becoming mere numbers.Sculptor1 wrote: ↑January 4th, 2023, 9:45 amt2d low carb.JPGSculptor1 wrote: ↑January 4th, 2023, 9:42 am Since 1980 when the health guidelines came out there has been an epidemic of obesity and Type 2 Diabetes.

Also, many medications play a significant role. When I was working in psychiatry it seemed that medications administered had a detrimental effect, especially on obesity. It is likely that stress also plays a large role, especially in the inflammatory processes in the body. I can't really blame those who refuse their antipsychotics when their trouser waistbands won't fit and they feel more and more unhealthy.
Thinking of health as a whole in the UK, when I was in my GP surgery today, Covid_19 measures had been implemented on the basis of what is happening in China. I felt panicky because this is how everything began in 2020. The pandemic and lockdowns have had such an impact on health mentally and physically, as well as the future of the NHS and the Welfare state. Also, many people have missed out on basic monitoring which is essential to issues like diabetes being detected early in order to enable people to address them naturally. Also, as poverty increases many are forced to eat diets full of fat and sugar so obesity and diabetes are likely to increase ever more than before.

The government has washed its hands of its responsibilities on this. It ought to be encouraging the voluntary use of face masks. I was shopping yesterday I only saw two other people wearing them.JackDaydream wrote: ↑January 4th, 2023, 10:48 amThe contents of food are critical.

1 in 50 are infected with Covid in the UK right now, and the latest strain is highly infectious.
Fresh food is up 15%, and the likelihood that more processed food leading to depressed immunity.
But the news is that fat is NOT the problem.
Fat has many important functions in the body. The problem has been eating less fat and replacing it with more carbs. Sadly we are not well adapted for high carb diets.
Primarily fructose which is 50% of table sugar is not metabolically useful to the body and can ONLY be turned into fat before being used. That is the root cause of Non alcoholic fatty liver disease
It has other dangerous effects; increases hunger by suppressing leptin the satiation hormone, increases uric acid; it also downrates ADP so that your metabolic rate slows so that it makes you want more calories yet makes you need less.
"Nature \Wants us to be Fat" Richard Johnson has written about this. An evolutionary adaptation which enabled us to exploit autumnal fruits to make us fat for the winter. The problem is that sugar is now super available all year round and winter never comes. That is the heart of the obesity epidemic. Addictive sugar at hands reach which makes you hungry, slows you down, and builds fat.
