“This is the first comprehensive study examining metabolic postprandial responses in twins discordant for weight.”
This is not science but a study in semantics.
I read the article, it does even address its own title.
....diabetes is largely influenced by genetic factors and/or the composition of gut microbiota....
Gut microbiota.
As in treating with pre/probiotics?
Genetics obviously plays a role. But a high carb diet will make you fat, push you into the warm embrace of diabetes, and eventually kill you.
High carb is deadly.
Your choice.
I’m 61 and went for my yearly physical three weeks ago. Discovered my blood sugar was about 450. Never had any health issues before, aside from needing to lose 50#.
Got on a couple of low dose prescriptions, cut almost all carbs (haven’t eaten more than 60 grams in any one day and some days I’ve been under 10) and tonight my blood sugar was 100. That is well within the normal range.
Once I lose the weight (5# so far), I will probably be able to get of the medications.
Well, I just had the best pork ribs at tbe Carmel, CA Masonic Lodge.
Sohhh! Good!!!
Bottom line: yes, you’re going to die.
I always wondered if my excessive sugar intake contributed to my Diabetes 1. In my teens, I ate 2 candy bars & a pop for lunch every day at school lunch.
My uncle developed diabetes, and he was quite fit, led an active lifestyle. It’s not just a disease for fat people.
“Genetics the key to type 2 diabetes.”
Bad luck in the genes may be the biggest factor, but eating (today’s) wheat and taking Statins certainly doesn’t help either.
