Please show me where I say to eliminate all carbs in any post? If low-carb means no-carb then what does low-fat mean?
I ask that you post any studies here rather than a PM... because I don't think that there are any studies which show high-fat leads to atherosclerosis, or that ketones or protein are damaging to healthy kidneys. These statements have been made for at least 30 years so you must believe there are studies to prove it.
Here is a study concerning kidneys and protein: The Impact of Protein Intake on Renal Function Decline in Women with Normal Renal Function or Mild Renal Insufficiency -- Knight et al. 138 (6): 460 -- Annals of Internal Medicine [my bold emphasis]
As for renal function, I have mine tested on a regular basis by my Endo - isn't that standard practice with Diabetes - if not, it should be. |
Frank - I am looking for studies that apply to most people on this forum, not just specific populations. And I'm getting as many together as I can, and will give them to you via PM in addition to a post.
And yes, I do remember asking about your numbers (didn't remember what they were, sorry). I asked for your numbers after you suggested a low-carb diet to me. In that thread, I was, again, explaining that all did not have to follow a low-carb diet - not slamming it, just saying it is not the only (or best, in my opinion) option for everybody.
Frank, seems as though all I do w/you is defend my diet choice. You suggested that I change my diet - I don't recall suggesting the same for you. However, if I did it seems as though it would be for naught. If I had convinced you, say, 20-30 years ago, before you developed Metabolic Syndrome (preventable with weight loss), then who knows?
I believe I may be done arguing with you, Frank.
You will obviously believe what you wish.
I'll get you your studies, though.
Until then,
