It is an exageration that diabetes is caused directly by sugar and other high carb foods. It is not an exageration that when a tribe that traditionally ate a low carb or slow carb diet is put on the high carb or fast carb western diet more than 80% develop diabetes. The causation is slow, somewhat indirect, and has a genetic component in societies that have had a lot of generations to filter out that tendency to diabetes. In other words my version is - High carb foods are only poison if you or anyone in your family has ever been fat or diabetic. what does your brain consume? last i knew it needed carbohydrates to function... It is widely stated that the brian needs glucose and thus dietary carbs to function. Widely stated does not equal true. Consider that even on an extended fast the blood sugar level does not fall towards zero. It remains stable for any non-diabetic. Fat and/or protein are burned and glucose is created in the process even with no diet of any sort. Add protein and fat as the diet, Inuit style complete with considering raw seal eyes a delicacy, and the blood glucose level remains stable. That's in addition to the fact that the brain runs just fine on ketones from burning fat. I conclude that gardeners should go veggies and fruits not grains. Leave the grains to the ranchers and large scale farmers. Come to think of it I never have grown my own barley. ;^) Thank you, Doug. -- - Billy "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.democracynow.org/2010/7/2/maude http://english.aljazeera.net/video/m...515308172.html |
