This seems to be saying fast food hamburgers are a much bigger cause of type 2 diabetes than the soda. Not what I assumed, though does reflect those I know with type 2 diabetes now that I think about it. The journal article breaks it down semi geographically, and call Western Europe and North America "high income countries." Probably a better term than "Western countries," but looks out of place between "Central/East…

I remember back then I heard a theory (didn't validate) that either sugar or fat is fine but consuming both at the same time is bad.

Does that mean subbing out my rice for brown rice or subbing out my white sourdough for whole grain sourdough reduced risk?? Or if I still eat way too much whole wheat pasta it’ll still contribute to t2d down the line?

Unless there's an easy solution most of us are just going to die from this. I can't battle the market that wants to feed me supersized everything because that's where they can hide the cost of wages and offer an illusion of value. It needs to be tasty (enough), it needs to be cheap (at least enough to compete with the crap food that's already an option), and it needs to be an option everywhere. Clearly, regulation is…

It’s pretty easy to stop eating processed crap. Heck, it’s easy to stop eating entirely for most of the day. Skip breakfast and lunch. Have a single meal a day and use the time you saved from skipping the other meals to prepare something nutritious and delicious. It’s so easy that people have been doing it for thousands of years. Except now it’s even easier because you don’t have to stalk a gazelle or wake up at dawn…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don’t know if this helps at all but there’s some ways to get a GCM from the private industry without needing a prescription, such as Nutrisense. I paid about $150 a month for it though.

To me, that's a lot of money for a piece of plastic. I get that it's a medical device and needed lots of testing etc, but Nutrisense seems like too much "value add" to justify what they charge for it. Hopefully I can get a prescription and get this all covered by insurance.
