I'm not on a high carb, low fat diet by the way. I'm on a diet that practices moderation, and involves regular exercise. I have no cholesterol issues and my ratios are the envy of my MD. BP is fine and passed my last stress test without any concerns. Having stellar genes is a blessing.
The Pima Indians of northern Mexico live on a diet high in carbohydrates, especially the high GI kind. The Pima Indians living in Arizona exist on a diet high in protein and fat, with very little in the way of carbohydrates. Even so, the Pima Indians for Arizona weigh significantly more than their Mexican relatives (50 lbs. +), and they suffer from a very high incidence of diabetes as well. Not so with the Mexican Pima's. Since they share the same genetics, one would conclude that diet and exercise play a critical role. Same as it ever was.
Healthy people, living long and healthy lives, while existing on a diet high in carbohydrates. Not unlike many Asian populations. Go figure.
Well, for those of us who can’t tolerate the ‘official’ high carbohydrate low protein diet the very idea that it’s the ‘official standard’ is abhorrent. For most people it’s a death sentence. But not before you’ve spent gazillions of dollars on meds and surgeries trying to stay alive.
I suspect that was the whole intention of that ‘official diet’ to begin with.
A healthy population would never have accepted government control over medical care to the extent it has.
I’m not a Pima Indian. The Pima in Arizona eat refined carbs.
The diabetes numbers for Asia are shocking. Let’s talk India, shall we?
High carb diets are a death sentence for native Americans.
Maybe you hate Native Americans?
Let’s talk the Pine Ridge reservation. Its inhabitants are either t1d, t2d or will be.
