Diabetes and Fat

Let us not forget the roll of stress.  Although I cannot quote research, I firmly believe that the reason I am a Type 2 is due to years and years of unending, high stress. 

OK, don't do that first. First watch this talk he gave at UC Berkeley:

The British title of the book is "The Diet Delusion". If you just put "Gary Taubes" in your favorite search engine (or even in one you don't like) you will find lots of other interviews and discussions. This science writer writes beautifully and he pretty much doesn't assume anybody is right until he sees their science in detail.

I want to see what he does with what I think is a major fraud about HIV. I think he doesn't yet agree with me, but I'm confident that in his first year of looking at the science he will change his mind.

He's a writer, he's really good at it, and he is ready to change his mind when the facts require that. That's how he was able to get past the fact that the doctors and the dietitians and even many of the scientists were dead wrong. The full story is really very interesting and when the word gets around, we can start to end the obesity epidemic and even start to end the diabetes epidemic. Yes, we can.

I don't know what it will take to change the minds of the experts, but Taubes sure made a good start at it. His interviews and his book will give you lots of ammunition for the battles of wits that will be needed, apparently for years to come.

Most of us with diatebes know that fat does not cause it-

but why is it that for us, it is  much harder to keep a normal

weight? More so than other people, more of what we eat seems to turn to fat. This problem requires more research because fat around the belly and organs is known to worsen the side effects

and make it harder to control the condition.
