Agreed. That’s how we have ‘thin’ T-2 diabetics.
T-1 diabetes shouldn’t even share the same name as T-2. The treatment’s not the same. Their responses to insulin aren’t the same. The prognosis is not the same. It adds too much confusion into the mix.
Personally, I believe that the drop in T-2 diabetes is due to more people going low (or lower) carb. Gradually, the stigma is lifting for saturated fats.
Here’s a good one for you, Whiskey.
You’ll see that the money spent on bread has gone up, year-by-year. They’re happy about that and predict more money being made off bread in the future.
But scroll down through the charts until you see the WEIGHT of bread (in tons) sold throughout the last decade.
People, Americans have eliminated 1,000,800 TONS of bread from our collective diet since 2006. If you look at the numbers, that’s roughly a 20% decrease for the population.
Now check out meat consumption.
We’re eating about the same amount of red meat (a little less) than we were in the 60’s, but the poultry has shot up significantly. Fish and shellfish consumption has gone up as well.
These charts are telling me that the doctor was wrong to credit doctors for ‘better education’. The people are educating themselves and doing a great job at it!
300,000 people took charge of their own health and nutrition and saved themselves from diabetes last year! Yeay!
You got that right. Another factor they left out is the skyrocketing cost of bread. Oroweat Rye was going on sale quite often, but not lately. It’s been selling at regular price for awhile now, around $4.58! So, the higher and higher costs of baked breads is lowering bread consumption as well.
We dropped breads (a favorite food group) from the diet when we started using the ketogenic diet and nutritional ketosis in an effort to reverse Type II diabetes. We’re experimenting with ketogenic friendly subsitutes, including almond flour recipes.
How much has tortilla consumption gone up in the same period?
