“A body of research putting people with Type 2 diabetes on a low calorie diet has confirmed the underlying causes of the condition and established that it is reversible.”
Even though the article is 2 years old, and there’s no fuzz to it at all (it is definitive), this is something that VERY FEW diabetics even know, because the ‘medical community’ simply REFUSES to accept what is right in front of their faces.
As to motivation, there are a lot of players with very high stakes in not wanting diabetes cured, and others who simply do not want to deal with the fact that they’ve spent their careers telling their patients what they need to do to keep getting sicker and sicker, and giving them drugs to speed it along.
But you also have another group getting into the act, and these people have tremendous political power - The Left. For them, they know that the only effective way to lose weight that is working with real people is the Keto Diet. And they know that Keto means EATING MEAT, and eating meat means eating MORE cows, pigs, and chickens - not less...and certainly not eliminating meat, as they are now pushing to do.
It’s the battle of the ages - the Left is essentially telling Americans (and others around the world), that you MUST GET SICK in order to ‘save the planet’...needless to say, for most people, their health comes out slightly ahead of planet-saving - the Left knows just that. That’s why the Left needs to keep this information locked-down.
One side is going to win - but the battle is now being joined.
I think many doctors know it works, but in my experience they are a victim of their training-- they see "Patient Noncompliance" and dismiss it. Their statistics tell them that >99% of their patients will not stay on a restricted calorie diet long enough to lose sufficient abdominal fat to reverse their condition, so they do not consider it a reasonable treatment option, so it never gets mentioned to patients and is soon forgotten or tucked away as some novelty.
The dietitian/nutrition/medical model for diabetes is deeply broken. Person, after person reports success using Keto and the response is.... The response is silence.
My BIL died from diabetes, and saw several dietitian/nutrition/medical staff as he was coached to eat carbs and avoid fat. My wife now says: DOCTOR’S ADVICE KILLED MY BROTHER.
