I, for one, am grateful Eat Bacon Don't Jog has been written. I happen to be one of those folks who simply cannot handle a high-carb diet. I come from a family with rampant diabetes - both types - and though I'm only 33 and NOT overweight, my lab results revealed prediabetes last month. Clearly, carbs affect me. The dr was concerned with the high cholesterol, (I have really high HDL AND elevated LDL) and started lecturing about fatty foods. New, high-quality research talks about high cholesterol as a direct result of high blood glucose - not fatty foods. I pointed that out, but he didn't seem to want to hear about THAT. He didn't even care about my on-the-edge A1C! I told him I would NOT be put on a statin and that I'm making some changes and he can re-evaluate in 3 months. I reject candy/baked goods/ sugar outright now, and I stick with high-fat foods instead. I don't worry about salt. I'm taking coconut oil in my coffee or out of the jar, and if I do decide to incorporate a small amount of rice or potato in a meal, I swallow 2 T diluted unfiltered, organic apple cider vinegar, which has a Metforamin-type effect on blood glucose. Ideally, I'd never consume these foods, but for now, I'm limiting them and using the cider vinegar. If that has to change in the future, I'm sure I'll get there. For now, all these other changes are about what I can handle.
My understanding of the corn issue is that corn today is not what it was "back then." Maybe that is an explanation for how early American cultures we able to sustain themselves on a high-corn diet. I don't know. Also, I do know that Egypt was one of the first, if not THE first civilization with a high-carb/grain diet and scientists have observed massive heart and vessel disease in them. Which, as we now know, high carbs = heart disease as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
