À propos de cet audio
Offering a historical and critical examination of diabetes research and treatment, particularly focusing on the role of diet and the management of insulin. This documents the dramatic increase in diabetes prevalence since the mid-twentieth century and critiques the long-standing medical consensus that often prioritized high-carbohydrate, low-fat diets and insulin therapy, even for Type 2 diabetes patients who exhibit high insulin levels. Historical accounts detail early dietary approaches, such as the animal-based diets for diabetes management, and the controversies surrounding the discovery and use of insulin after the 1920s. Furthermore, this explores alternative therapeutic approaches, including carbohydrate-restricted diets, citing studies that show their effectiveness in controlling blood sugar and reducing medication needs, suggesting that deeply entrenched medical beliefs about nutrition and obesity may be flawed.
