Cure Diabetes — Just Discovered! The Solution to Diabetes
Curing diabetes has been at the forefront of medical research for decades. The "Why" of diabetes has befuddled millions in Establishment medicine for a long-time. In the mid-1900's diabetes was joined at the hip with the "Cause of Heart Disease" crowd, blaming fat as the main culprit and then advocating a low-fat diet:
* people just got fatter and fatter
* people became fatter at an ever-quickening pace
* carbohydrates were considered innocuous and all the blame for disease fell on fat
You heard it here first -- fat and cholesterol were never the cause of diabetes and obesity. It was carbohydrates that were doing the damage. This statement will rattle the entrenched dogma. Why did all the brainiacs not know this? Because belief systems drive medicine. It tells us that facts do, but that is patently false.
What was the logic in its thinking? Bone simple: eating fat would lead to fat accumulation in the body. But... the factual biochemistry is that carbs become the fat on your body, not fat.
This information rings the bell and busts up more than six decades of wrong thinking. By 1950, biochemical research had proven that it's carbohydrates that the body converts to fat. No one took the time to do a little reading and the whole issue took over the world's collective thinking -- much to its detriment.
When the low-carb diet exploded on the scene in 2002-2003, several scientists took a hard look at low-carbing to see if all the negative press it had received held up under scrutiny:
* the low-carb diet out-performed the low-fat diet and the Mediterranean diet in weight loss and fat loss
* sugar in the blood dropped whereas there was no change in the low-fat diet group
* so-called dangerous fats (saturated -- but never proven dangerous) dropped in low-carb
* low-carb simply whipped low-fat!
The low-carb diet is just what a diabetic needs to solve this disease. And changes happen rapidly when you decrease carbohydrate intake. Fat-burning increases and sugar use drops while blood sugar drops dramatically. Just what the doctor should be ordering.
Metabolic Syndrome is a common health problem today. It's characterized by several major abnormalities including:
* obesity
* blood sugar abnormalities that lead to diabetes
* cardiovascular disease
* high blood pressure
Current research suggests that a carbohydrate-reduced diet may be the first and most effective choice for patients with Metabolic Syndrome and diabetes. If you are normal but suffer from these symptoms, then reducing carbohydrates is the only effective non-pharmacological choice.
Low-fat was never proven to be healthful and low-carb was shown to be a great health improver. Unfortunately, no one read this research completed during the last 50 years of the 20th century. Claims were just made about the dangers of eating diets higher in fat (although followers of the low-carb diet actually don't eat more fat).
Eating carbs and fat together is a prescription for disaster yet this is the way most people eat -- a balanced diet the "experts" call it. Wrong. Switch to low-carbohydrate but don't follow either the Atkins's diet or South Beach Diet. Atkins's plan if full of flaws and South Beach isn't even a low-carb diet.
