Another important factor (this is my belief, I cannot strictly prove it) is too frequent snacking which (on high carb) prevents the body from engaging ketogenic metabolism. I wrote about that <a href="http://stan-heretic.blogspot.com/2008/08/snacking-and-glucoseketogenic-cycling.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> <br /><br />This may also apply to impoverished nations - it may be not only what and how much they eat but how frequently. <br /><br />Once they move away from the artificiality a la Western Food Business, people may be just getting better in spite not because of veganism or anything.<br /><br />Still phytotoxins plus lack of nutrients, or calories or both, in most plant based diets, do eventually bite them back, though in a different way than on SAD.<br /><br />That person (EG) I mentioned in my first message on your blog, has been on the Pritikin like diet (plus jogging everyday and all that) for 30 years, yet his arterial occlusions (in his neck arteries) came out progressing, smilar to the average in his age group! It begun noticeably reversing on Fuhrnam's diet only in the last couple of years. What is the difference? Less starch and more nuts! <br /><br />Regards,<br />StanStan Bleszynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922719716458272303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040807413744183436.post-76107149326380272162010-10-31T14:44:49.669-04:002010-10-31T14:44:49.669-04:00Stan, I liked this quote from Denise Meninger...
...Stan, I liked this quote from Denise Meninger...<br /> And then there’s the claim that the Plant-Based-Diet Doctor Cronies (Esselstyn, McDougall, Fuhrman, Ornish, Barnard, et al) have “proven” that veganism trumps meat eating — when in reality what they’ve shown is that cutting out processed foods, refined grains, “corn sugar,” and vegetable oils brings marked health improvements over the junky cuisine most people eat. No shocker there. The Standard American Diet is the epicenter of everything you can do wrong with food, so any direction you move away from it is bound to bring positive changes (at least initially).Andrebocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10397879487399886462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040807413744183436.post-91036894519329162192010-10-28T19:59:47.626-04:002010-10-28T19:59:47.626-04:00Hi Andre,

With your unique first hand experience with two opposing nutrition paradigms, and two cultures (US and India) - it is a valuable knowledge, to share!<br /><br />Regards,<br />Stan<br /><br />P.S.<br /><br />Dr. Rosedale's "Insulin..." article was the one article that made the first and the lasting impression on me 10 years ago just after I started my life-changing experiment with the LC. It is true what you said!Stan Bleszynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922719716458272303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9040807413744183436.post-1948708892646093092010-10-28T16:45:38.004-04:002010-10-28T16:45:38.004-04:00Stan, Andre here. The guy is a believer and quoted...Stan, Andre here. The guy is a believer and quoted back propoganda on the Pritikin Web as evidence. I was not only indicting Pritikin, but the entire low fat/no fat mentality that has driven us into the mess we are in...myself included. I worked at Pritikin for 6 years, It is a program of less than 10% fat...no visible fat, 30 minutes on a treadmill and yoga. Pritikin got it right on the yoga. The rest is not very effective. The people that come to Pritikin are ones who have suffered a health crisis. Heart attack, stroke, Diabetes Overweight...etc. They all eat SAD and the addition of exercise, YOGA and a more vegetable based diet than the typical horrible SAD is an improvement. However, is it the optimal diet for Diabetics and the rest. NO. You dont feed something that turns into sugar to a person that is carbohydrate intolerant. It doesnt matter what you or I call it as we eat it. bread, pasta, potatoe , carrot etc...whatever is not fiber will turn to sugar.<br /><br />As far as the insulin Diabetics there is no getting Type 1s off. They must be Type 2s on Insulin. No Type 2 should be on insulin...period. Clean up the diet, eat high fat, moderate protein, low carb and you can get off all meds. I no longer drink the cool aid. I am independant. I believe my meter, Dr. Bernstein, Dr. Rosedale. They have gotten me health, not by eating a better diet than SAD, but by optimizing my diet. I don't argue with people who are true believers. 15 years ago you couldn't convince me that Pritikin was wrong. Now, after Type 2 to Type 1 , I know he was wrong. Not about YOGA though. We would see BP drop 30-40 points after 1 class. By the way, Pritikin died of Luekemia. When you drop your cholesterol your Cancer rate and risk go up. Either way, death is death. Thanx for bringing it to my attention. I am only a servant trying my best to get the word of truth on diet out. Dr. Rosedale is the true prophet. All the C Elegans research you just posted was suggested by Dr. Rosedale when he met C Kenyon. She does credit him a little. I am a fan of your blog and look forward to conversation with you.Andrebocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10397879487399886462noreply@blogger.com
