I strongly recommend to anyone with diabetes to read Mr Taubes' book "Rethinking Diabetes". Every doctor I met personally pushed me to inject insulin to treat my type 2 diabetes. Especially endocrinologists (I have met four) and an internal medicine specialist. In arguing with the internal medicine specialist I was told that I was "against all science".
Having had a heart attack in 2018, as part of the "heart rehab" I had to attend lecture sessions. One was on nutrition. And there they tried to get us off fats and red meat and onto carbs. I tried to say, that I can't do carbs in that order because of my diabetes Type 2, but they pretty mich told me to STFU. Been on Metformin and Statins since then and ... always had GI problems. Now, with support from my GP, I've stopped Metformin and started inositol and Berberine. Fasting blood sugar levels before lunch and dinner is 6.2 - 6.7 instead of around 8.5. I eat low carb -
Follow the logical conclusion as thousands of others just like you have done; go Carnivore. You'll feel like a real human being and very likely live to be over 100. As long as you stick to it anyway.
@@zfl1981 - What a statement. You can not possibly know what exactly my medical condition(s) is/are from what little I wrote above. You cannot even know what if any diet philosophy I follow. Considering my general health, I think you would not include me in your generalised statement, because of my "eating history". It would most certainly disprove such assumptions if you were aware of either my complete medical history OR my eating patterns. You should have read more carefully what I wrote to take a mild hint as to the later - which you obviously didn't.
@@musicofnote1 ok then. The carnivore diet, sometimes referred to as zero carb, is our (homo sapien) species specific diet. So unless you are the 0.0001% of the population that has some meat allergy (which based on your original comment, you do not have), the optimum diet, because you are human (again, if I missed the part of your comment mentioning you are an alien, I beg your pardon) is zero carb or carnivore. So how exactly, precisely, would my "advice" not take into consideration some factor that would have ill effects on you?
Can you make the volume of the audio lower, please? I can barely hear this. My car stereo is turned up all the way. So please lower the volume of the audio so that no matter how I adjust my volume, I won't be distracted by any sounds from the video. Thanks. What?????
Dr. Ben Bikman states that tasting urine to test for diabetes is a myth. He states glucose is not sweet tasting. . . It was in one of his UA-cam lectures, sorry I don't remember which--the new series he is doing.
As we all know by now; the problem is carbohydrates; but going Keto is still only a halfway solution. The Carnivore diet brings the carbs to ZERO instead of only less than 50 grams. A so called healthy bell pepper is 6 grams of carbs; and 4.2 grams of sugar. Bring the carbs to ZERO.
On carnivore, in the absence of anti nutrients and fiber (that might prevent absorption) and you get all you need from animal products. Well, if the animals you consume were properly fed. Animals can also suffer from essential nutrient deficiencies. And this also applies to fruit and vegetables -- they might not contain the claimed amounts of vitamints and micronutriens. At the end all comes from the soil (the microorganisms that live there). And who/what feeds the soil?
If you carefully read 'A Big Fat Surprise', you'll find that it is a very good piece of scientific writing. I make that assessment on the back of being a clinician with extensive experience of this literature
I'll never read Teicholtz. Heard her once on UA-cam. Hyperbole. Would not believe her if she told me the sun was shining. Taubes is wrong about keto & weight loss, but he's got a lot more going on than being right or wrong. There is an abundance of possibilities that could be explored in his work. Keto is great for controlling blood sugars. That's incontrovertible. As for the rest...
Gary. Taubes. Is. Brilliant!
Taubes is the man !! ❤
Excellent interview.
very well done interview and great work by Taubes.
fantastic interview, thank you both

@@musicofnote1 are you sure you're responding to the right comment? Your reply makes no sense.
@@zfl1981 - Absolutely sure.
@@musicofnote1 ok then.

I was sad when I realized Gary didn't read his own books on Audible..I still love them but just not the same..
Needs chapter markers.

Corn syrup (not the high fructose kind) is glucose. Taste it and see if it is sweet.
@@billyhw5492 corn syrup is a product corn...

Carnivore... protein metabolises to glucose...fat turns to ketones
@@joehart3826 only excess protein. Therefore eat more fat.
It's all about GREED, health be dammed! Take control of your own life, don't be a sheeple.
For the controllers it's not about money. Money is just the grease.
If going carnivore , how do all of you get your vitamins and minerals ?

Just add a bowl of boiled lentils sautéed with onions
From meat.
Interrupts guest too much.
Great stuff from Gary, but highly irritating interview technique
How could Taubes partner w Teicholtz? That's like putting your clean & your dirty laundry in the same space. No thank you!
@@cag19549 yep, not deliberately anyway..
What's wrong with Teicholtz?
@@billyhw5492 she's an anti-intellectual imo. Opposite of Taubes.
