This video is one in a series of videos and websites which are being posted on FreeRepublic in the coming days in regard to nutritional health. In the beginning these videos were being posted as a rebuttal to an article and comments in another posted article on FreeRepublic remarking on obesity. Due to the strong interest in obesity and nutritional health as it relates to Type II Diabetes, the videos relating to Type II diabetes and how to reverse the progression of the disease are being moved forward among the other video topics in this series. Expect to see a mixture of videos regarding the role of carbohydrates in the diet and their relationship to nutritional health topics ranging from metabolic syndrome and Diabetes to dementia, Parkinson's Disease, Altzheimer's Disease, and more. The effects of standard government sponsored diets, health association diets, and alternative diets upon everyday nutrition, sports nutrition, and diabetic nutrition will be mixed in with videos focused on the use of various low carbohydrate and high fat (LCHF) diets, such as the ketogenic diets as a treatment for Type II Diabetes.
Anyone who is interested in following this series of posts about nutritional health is invited to request a ping.

The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarter's Expenses?
I’ve been a mite critical of your whole series here and now I see you’re keeping to your same 2005 science for athletes as well. No.
Athletes and their gut bugs who own them need lots and lots of carbohydrates. Actually, they just need lots of good, rich, healthy food. They need more nutrients of all kinds than non athletes.
They need a lot of vitamins D and K especially youthful athletes, which build great bodies for longer “careers” doing whatever sport.
There would have been no reasonable way for Michael Phelps to get the calories he needed from avoiding carbs.
Carbohydrates are not bad. You can’t have healthy gut bugs without them. They help regulate emotion and personality and brain well being. They are a low cost way to keep all nutrients up to date. It is ridiculous unless you are super rich to have to overeat animal proteins in order to get your body to turn them to sugar: it is also inefficient.
Athletes need healthy, clean legume and grain based carbohydrates (and they need to avoid all grain based carbs that are made from “enriched” flour, which is most of the things found in supermarkets) in addition to loads of healthy fruits, vegetables, and tubers.
There are no evil macronutrients.
You are making a very valuable contribution to the health of Freepers, and we should all thank you. But I wish there was some content that could be read instead of merely watched as a YouTube vid. Many Freepers live in fairly remote areas where connections are slow and bandwidth is costly.
