Just mind boggling, eye opening, no wonder diet discussions are infused with such religious fervor because a religion - Seventh-day Adventist is very involved!!!

This is just mind boggling! I had no idea there were connections between corn flakes, veganism, nutritional institutions, discouraging masturbation, 7th day Adventist’s, temperance, Harvard, Coke and our national dietary guidelines! I see the cereal aisle in a whole new light now!

If you want to control your fat you must control your insulin

One of the things I learned from Ben Bikman- Why is weight control not just about calories in calories out? Without insulin you cannot store fat. Period!!!!

This is why a symptom of type 1 diabetes is losing weight no matter, no matter!!! how many calories they eat. My takeaway is -Clearly if you want to control your fat you must control your insulin.

Comparing The Obesity Code by Jason Fung to The Calorie Myth by Jonathon Bailor

Read "Pure, White and Deadly" by John Yudkin, I wished we had listened to this man back in the day!!!!

So while listening to Dr. Lustig, I became interested in the researcher he refers to, named John Yudkin. Yudkin was a contemporary of the famous Ancel Keys who came up with the idea that saturated fat causes heart disease. Yudkin however felt that sugar was the culprit. Ancel Keys' hypothesis dominated the time and has had a vice grip on our nation for 60 years or so but I think Yudkin's theory is proving closer to the mark and will have the last word. Listening to Yudkin's book, "Pure, White and Deadly" was fascinating. Particularly humanizing was, towards the end of the book, when he shared his own struggle with a love of sugar.
