Peter Attia: What if we're wrong about diabetes?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMhLBPPtlrY
This video is one in a series of videos and websites which are being posted on FreeRepublic in the coming days in regard to nutritional health. In the beginning these videos were being posted as a rebuttal to an article and comments in another posted article on FreeRepublic remarking on obesity. Due to the strong interest in obesity and nutritional health as it relates to Type II Diabetes, the videos relating to Type II diabetes and how to reverse the progression of the disease are being moved forward among the other video topics in this series. Expect to see a mixture of videos regarding the role of carbohydrates in the diet and their relationship to nutritional health topics ranging from metabolic syndrome and Diabetes to dementia, Parkinson's Disease, Altzheimer's Disease, and more. The effects of standard government sponsored diets, health association diets, and alternative diets upon everyday nutrition, sports nutrition, and diabetic nutrition will be mixed in with videos focused on the use of various low carbohydrate and high fat (LCHF) diets, such as the ketogenic diets as a treatment for Type II Diabetes.
Anyone who is interested in following this series of posts about nutritional health is invited to request a ping.

Bump for later
But the food pyramid says we need to eat 7 to 9 servings of grains and pasta daily.
I’ve lost count of the things that allopaths have been wrong about.
Well Dr. Peter, I guess your hubris led you to the conclusion you are right about everything. Bet the good Doctor was an Obama supporter until recently.
Feeling contempt for a patient? What a dick.
Diabetes is caused by lawyers who foisted the
“food pyramid” on real people.
The same lawyers created ObamaCARE to destroy
the rest of America’s health,
and then imported new diseases into America
to murder the rest.
I have Type 2...developed in my 40’s.Some years back I lost about 40 lbs...got very close to a “normal” BMI.My diabetes went away and my hypertension almost went away.Then my hip exploded...couldn’t exercise.My weight went back up and both problems returned.
Thanks for posting this- if you are running a ping list on nutritional health, please add me to it. Thanks, matthew fuller.
Under the umbrella term “diabetes” there are at least TWO separate but different disorders. One, the Type I version, is a result of the pancreatic beta cells able to produce little or no insulin, and is the result, usually, of the body raising an autoimmune response to the presence of these cells, killing them off. The Type II version results from the body having enough insulin, but the cells themselves have developed a resistance to accepting the insulin, and then cannot properly utilize the glucose circulating in the bloodstream as an energy source.
Both result in an excess of glucose building up in the body, and this excess leads to nerve and organ damage over time, that can be debilitating, incapacitating or deadly.
But anyone who has a decent doctor, and has been diagnosed as having either diabetes or a syndrome called prediabetes, is aware of the physiological symptoms and some of the prognosis.
Diabetes may be related in some way to a tendency to alcohol dependency, as alcohol is burned much like glucose at the cellular level. And it is more readily absorbed through the cell wall of the individual cell than glucose molecules.
Of course, alcohol has an effect on cellular energy production much like using a blowtorch to toast marshmallows - a little applied very slowly, goes a long way, and it is easy to have the process go awry in so many ways.
Filed for later....thank you so much!
