So you treat diabetes, but die of a heart attack from all that fat?
My cardiologist would call this BS.
If your cardiologist would call this BS, then you probably need a new cardiologist.
Just Observe....
To fatten cows and pigs....they feed the animals very high carb diet such as corn and grains....never blubber!
If eating fat caused you to become fat, why are’nt lions and tigers never fat while they eat the whole animal?
From what I understand a low carb diet increases triglycerides and HDL. it apparently has a very good effect on lowering cholesterol. Go figure.
The popular mythology is that when you eat fat it somehow goes through your stomach and floats around your bloodstream as cholesterol and clogs your arteries. That's not true.
What you eat goes through various digestive stages in your organs and is broken down and recombined into different compounds.
The cholesterol that stems from eating fat tends to be HDL (good cholesterol) that does not block arteries. Carbohydrates will raise LDL (bad cholesterol). When the "eating fat causes heart disease" hypothesis was first raised they did not distinguish types of cholesterol.
The idea is that carbs are preferentially metabolized, the fats hang around in the blood and end up reacting and depositing places.
As far as I know, and from my own experience, low-carb/high-fat/ketogenic diets actually bring down blood cholesterol levels and all the associated things that are bad for your arteries.
The "lipid theory of heart disease" is well on its way to being debunked.
Also remember, fat doesn't turn into fat and make you fat, sugar (carbs) do.
