“This type of ‘review of reviews’ provides one of the highest levels of evidence available in medicine.”

Yeah—NO. Meta-studies provide absolutely no “evidence,” so this statement is a complete lie, but meta-studies do review multiple real, original studies by people who did actual work and opine on what the preponderance of data appears to show, holistically, if properly performed.

Do note idiots may be left doing these write ups, but the underlying studies can still be helpful.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Email me to get on either the “Common/Top Issues” (20% fewer pings) or “Everything” list.

The actual “highest level of evidence” is attainable via double-blinded, placebo-controlled trials done with massive numbers of test subjects.

Easy enough to find out.
Reduce/eliminate red meal.
And consume small amounts of dairy.
If you feel better than all is good.
If no difference..than no harm done.

Here’s an idea to not get diabetes: don’t get fat.

So I can still drink milk on my T2D preventative diet?

It’s been over a year except for half/half in coffee for the fat reduction but I really miss it.

When “may” is inserted into a sentence, the sentence becomes meaningless.

Jupiter may leave its orbit and collide with the Earth. If it may, it may not. Or maybe yes or maybe no.

I’d like to see just exactly what ‘they’ mean by ‘processed meat” myself.

How interesting, red meat is bad, right when they are pushing the fake crap to save the world. No.

Nothing says “ science” like “may” or “might”.

I wouldn’t in the least be surprised if that was true. I probably is the highest level of science we see in medicine. Drugs that are no better than placebo are approved by the FDA as a matter of course.

As usual, they don’t examine people who eat meat WITHOUT lots of simple carbs. If you eat lots of red meat and fat along with sugar and simple carbs, you are screwed. They can aggravate the effect of being a sugar machine.

But they are not the CAUSE of the problem, and cutting them wouldn’t SOLVE the problem.

I have T2 diabetes. I think dairy products like whole fat yogurt tend to help my metabolism. I am lactose sensitive but I use lactose free whole milk in my coffee and cereal. I think the fat content is satiating. I weigh a bit less now than I did a few years ago when I was drinking nonfat milk.

As to red meat, that goes through the system too slow. I still eat it, but it’s better if it is an occasional thing, not daily.
