[quote=xMenace;404768]This paragrapgh encapsulates some of the basic arguments low carbers give as justification:
We used to eat low carb
We didn't have a wide-spread obesity problem and had low incidents of diabetes.
We now eat high carb
We have a wide-spread obesity problem and high incidents of diabetes.
The majority of the world now eats high carb and we have 250,000,000 cases of diabetes worldwide!
Are Suadis new experiencing the same crisis as th west due to high refined carbs or high fats? Are native peoples around the world sufferring because of the carbs or the fats? Science has been unable to differentiate the cause with total certainty, hence our dilemna.
Let us consider the possibility that increased intake of FOOD - all types - and a sedentary lifestyle has contributed to an increase in diabetes moreso than the claim that the majority of the world eats high-carb.
Along Frank's thinking, does eating a diet including more carbs or as many carbs as protein+fat combined = a "high carb" diet?
Still gathering my
FACTS, Frank.
