Please stop spreading that lie. Diabetes is when the body stops producing insulin on its own.

Clearly they have never studied gluconeogenesis. The brain does of course require glucose.<br /><br />Principles of Biochemistry/Gluconeogenesis and Glycogenesis from Wiki<br /><br />"Gluconeogenesis (abbreviated GNG) is a metabolic pathway that results in the generation of glucose from non-carbohydrate carbon substrates such as lactate, glycerol, and glucogenic amino acids" https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Principles_of_Biochemistry/Gluconeogenesis_and_Glycogenesis<br /><br />Hence there is no such thing as esentuel carb, not that I am advocating a no carb diet, but it can be done. <br /><br />"The earliest and primary proponent of an all animal-based diet was Vilhjalmur Stefansson, a Canadian explorer who lived with the Inuit for some time, and who witnessed their diet as essentially consisting of meat and fish, with very few carbohydrates - berries during the summer. Stefansson and a friend later volunteered for a one year experiment at Bellevue Hospital in New York to prove he could thrive on a diet of nothing but meat, meat fat and internal organs of animals. <br /><br />His progress was closely monitored and experiments were done on his health throughout the year. At the end of the year, he did not show any symptoms of ill health; he did not develop scurvy , which many scientists had expected to manifest itself only a few months into the diet due to the lack of vitamin C in muscle meat. However, Stefansson and his partner did not eat just muscle meat - they ate fat, raw brain, raw liver (a significant source of vitamin C and others), and other varieties of offal." <br /><br />Regards EddieLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-42545669050188125842016-12-10T20:11:11.077+00:002016-12-10T20:11:11.077+00:00Was once told that the brain requires 120g of carb...Was once told that the brain requires 120g of carbohydrate per day to function. Do these people even know what they are talking about? Or is all of this bullshit science just handed down through the generations? It is bewildering that regulatory bodies actually endorse them! I had a family member referred to one, but I encouraged her not to waste a days annual leave, and provided her which much more valuable information myself!

They know less, for example, they think that ketosis is only valuable as a weight-loss tool, and some people even think that sugary foods are good for their brain. As you know FB places some information it thinks a FB member may find interesting. The result of my interest in the diet-health connection is the the daily exposure to the standard diet advice about how to live healthy and not to gain weight during Christmas time. Most of the times(close to 100%) it is so ridiculous, I can't believe my eyes. For example, top healthy foods for diabetics - dates,oats, barley, apples, watermelons, or sweet potatoes and damned oats prevent people from getting a seasonal flu. They suggest using fruits puree as a butter substitute in baking, or making cookies from organic oats(again that oats!) instead of a regular flour and adding there I forgot which crap instead of eggs in order to upgrade cookies to the honor to be a vegan thing. I am afraid only certified dietitians tips were used for creating such nonsense. Only comments from the people who have a personal experience of normalizing their blood sugar or living the life without infections give such posts any positive value.<br /> Galina L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09156132815504279615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-44208765085786353112016-12-10T17:30:03.464+00:002016-12-10T17:30:03.464+00:00interesting post - informative!interesting post - informative!sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03307968128182359860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-91721392049704233802016-12-10T16:05:18.745+00:002016-12-10T16:05:18.745+00:00I agree.

But, £billions has been spent advertising complete junk over the years. A safe bet is, if a product comes with a list of ingredients and a long shelf life, it's probably junk. Real food rots pretty quickly, unless refrigerated or frozen. Most junk can be left in a kitchen cupboard for months and still be within use by date.<br /><br />Regards Eddie Lowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-79236571046278973712016-12-10T15:31:26.945+00:002016-12-10T15:31:26.945+00:00It is sometimes so hard to gather it all in...comm...It is sometimes so hard to gather it all in...common sense is needed more and more everyday.
