Back when some of us oldtimers joined the betus club and went low carb we started telling all who would listen to us about our success. Many people listened to us and they too tried low carb and were successful. I don’t need to bang on about the benefits to people on this forum. Almost immediately a small group of highly vocal low carb antis came out of the woodwork. Without lots of carbs we were dead men walking, a whole plethora of grim health problems was on the cards for us. The antis agreed sugar was a complete no no, but lots of carbs i.e sugar was essential, go figure that one. The antis lost the argument completely, there is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate, that is a fact and science does not argue that fact.
When the antis gave up flogging that dead horse, they turned on fats. OK they bellowed you may not need all the carbs but all that fat will kill ya. None will forget the NHS adverts showing blocked drains and grim warnings about fat in the diet. The adverts were far from honest with the truth, saturated fats will block a drain, but one definition of sat fats is solid at room temperature, and the average room temperature is not around 98 degrees in old money nor is the average drain. Also most of the fat data giving us the voice of doom, included man made trans fats and fats made from canola oil etc. they are killers and that has been proved. It was beyond the antis mental capacity to realise the fats man had ate since the beginning of time, somewhere around 3,000,000 years, are a totally different ball game to the junk that had been around for a hundred years, which incidentally, coincided nicely with the rapid rise in the heart disease. That being said the astute realised the worst possible combination for anyone, especially a diabetic, is a high highly processed carb diet together with plenty of fat, from whatever source. This simple fact is too much for the antis to comprehend. They believe the carb up and shoot up, and minimal fat diet is the way to go, which leads me to today's sermon from the mount.
Over at the flog all round good guy Dr. David Unwin (Southport GP) was reporting yesterday “Saturated fats;no longer deadly- BMJ” David has had great success with his diabetic patients using a low carb diet and that fact has been well reported. Some may remember when he joined the flog he was immediately attacked by some, lead by the one and only Sid Bonkers as a troll, and his post was allowed to stand. He did apologize around three months later. After yesterday's post from David, a relative newcomer to the flog SunnyexPat, who appears to working to an agenda (I could be wrong) was swiftly joined by the high priestess of carb up and shoot up, and Hope Warshaw acolyte Phoenix. Who quoted SunnyExpat and said “Absolutely I don't think that the BMJ is really representing the original paper faithfully in this press release The gist of the original paper found (using observational studies; not randomised controlled trials ie not the highest quality of evidence)”
Now, I don’t need a randomised controlled trial to tell me hitting myself on the head with a baseball bat is going to do me harm, I don’t need a randomised controlled trial to tell me my diet is safe, my blood work over the last seven plus years tells me all I need to know. I don’t need a randomised controlled trial to tell me Phoenix is working to a very dubious agenda, and has been for years. Remember she has access to insulin, a pump, the best medical professionals and test strips. Many type two diabetics have none of this, they are not prescribed test strips and they cannot afford to buy their own. As Mo said last night Bonkers is a “bell end” I reckon even the newbies see that quickly and discount his lunatic rantings, but Phoenix is clever, and that in my opinion makes her the most dangerous anti on the flog. Of course she doesn't fool the knowledgeable, but I wonder how much confusion and damage her long term propaganda campaign has done for the already confused newbies, and long time poorly controlled diabetics. Her methods do not work for the majority and she knows it, the last ten years of NHS audited diabetes statistics prove it, why is she so hell bent on continuing the carnage.
Have a great weekend folks.
