True but that would be starvation. I choose not to starve. I like my steak big and rare.

I don't know if you've seen this from the open access journal "Metabolism & Nutrition"

Dietary carbohydrate restriction in type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome: time for a critical appraisal

"Reduction or elimination of medication -
A striking effect of carbohydrate restriction is reduction or elimination of medication. Table 1 shows results from Yancy, et al. [19] in which 17 of 21 patients with type 2 diabetes reduced or discontinued diabetes medication upon carbohydrate restriction. Similar results were found by Boden [8] and Nielsen [10,20]. Practitioners have pointed out the need to reduce medication in advance of undertaking a low carbohydrate diet [6,10,20,21] highlighting the power of carbohydrate restriction to bring about the same therapeutic effect as drugs."

That depends on peace and prosperity, conditions that the left always undermine. We were built to withstand famine, at least for a while. Thanks for the link. Two of the authors have an impressive series of articles on carbohydrate restriction. Enter volek js, feinman rd into the query box at PubMed. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez
