The medical Establishment will roll-over about the ever changing facts about curing diabetes. It has deluded itself for decades, but new scientific research has changed the landscape. The promoted diet for preventing diabetes has been the low-fat diet. That diet failed to work -- for anything:
* overweight and obesity soared as people fattened up like cattle in a pen
* people became fatter at an ever-quickening pace
* carbs became the nutritional darling of all the so-called "experts"
Wow, cholesterol and fat were not the cause of diabetes. That's what I'm telling you. The research is just now coming in and the story is that it always was our much-loved carbohydrates that were doing the damage. And just not sugar, but fruits, and grains, and many vegetables. The low-fat dogma blinded otherwise brilliant people and blinded them.
How did it turn out that fat got blamed? There was one major bogus study published in 1953 that implicated fat and then that idea steam-rolled everyone and became the entrenched dogma. It's still believed here in 2009. But... fat was not the culprit and the evidence began to shake out by the mid-1980's that it was blood glucose arising from carbohydrates that was the villain.
This information rings the bell and busts up more than six decades of wrong thinking. By 1950, biochemical research had proven that it's carbohydrates that the body converts to fat. No one took the time to do a little reading and the whole issue took over the world's collective thinking -- much to its detriment.
Starting during the early 2000's explosion of interest in low-carb, young, unbiased researchers set up some very good experiments to study the diet. What was the outcome? The results disproved all the negative statements that had been made during the last four decades:
* body fat and body weight dropped faster in low-carbers than low-fat dieters
* sugar in the blood dropped whereas there was no change in the low-fat diet group
* reduction in the dangerous fats
* the low-fat diet could not hold its own against low-carb as it won hands down
The low-carb or carb-restricted diet will help diabetics dramatically improve their health. And it works fast because your metabolic systems begin to change in as little as six hours. Your body switches very quickly into a fat-burning mode and decreases its reliance on blood sugar as a source of fuel.
Syndrome X, also known as Metabolic Syndrome, is a constellation of symptoms indicating serious disturbances in health:
* obesity
* diabetes
* heart and vascular diseases
* high blood pressure
Recent studies show that carbohydrate-restriction might sensibly be the "default" diet to be tried FIRST for patients with Metabolic Syndrome. In the case of normal weight people with this condition, carbohydrate restriction may be the only effective non-drug approach for treating it.
The research is clear: the health-touting benefits of a low-fat diet were downright wrong and the science now stands behind this statement. The low-fat diet that was high in carbohydrates elevated blood fats and blood sugar leading to deadly changes in the health of the public.
Eating carbs and fat together is a prescription for disaster yet this is the way most people eat -- a balanced diet the "experts" call it. Wrong. Switch to low-carbohydrate but don't follow either the Atkins's diet or South Beach Diet. Atkins's plan if full of flaws and South Beach isn't even a low-carb diet.
