CARBS are evil... all this nonsense about fat over the last 30 years or whatever is total nonsense, its high carb intake that is at the root of the obesity and health epidemics.

[Arthur McGowan]

Correct.

[goodnesswins]

Yes...the government food pyramid was a crock

“its high carb intake that is at the root of the obesity and health epidemics.”

I’m 63. I went heavy on meat and eggs about five years ago. Dropped thirty pouds. Just had some minor surgery last week, so they took Blood pressure 118/60, healthy EKG.

I think the “fats are bad” line is a total myth.

Carbs are not all bad. We aren’t just us. There is more of a gut (etc) bacteria population than there is me in me. And their happiness makes me heslthier. The good ones need carbs. From veggies, resistant starch, other fibers, even a little fruit. Now that I know about them, and their effects on my body and brain functioning, I feed them when I feed me.

Cravings come from the gut bugs. The more harmful ones crave sugar. Mine now crave all kinds of cooked vegetables and fibers.

Agreed. I would add most neurodegenerative diseases are also caused by carbohydrate based metabolic changes and insulin resistance.

All of the development of "miracle" cures (drugs) will not stop the course of disease until the underlying insulin neuro-dysregulation is addressed. That is simply a radical change in diet to a ketogenic one.
