The Problem With Diet Studies. September 12, 2018

Low-carbohydrate diets have become increasingly popular as a health and weight-loss strategy, especially in the West. Although short-term randomized studies support low-carbohydrate diets for weight loss,^[1] effects on mortality are not known.

It is very promising  statement. So, this article was interesting to read. And what did I found? Well,

Dietary information was gleaned from interviews that included a 61-item food frequency questionnaire at baseline and again at 6 years, with a focus on assessing the source or quality of proteins and fats consumed in low-carbohydrate diets.

    so, if I said to doctor that I do not eat junk food, would this MD believe in me? Not at all. I am 380 pounds and with insulin dose 480 units daily, so it ia all because of sugar in my tea, and  a lot of processed food. I cannot eat processed food, too many conservation, and I cannot eat this type of food. But if it is study then all what some people posted on Q? is right. They said, they practice Low Cab Diet, and so it mean they do. Really? With body weight over 300 pounds what diaet is it? How low carbs it must be?
      This is what I try to say, be careful when to trust in any studies. It is better to run own studies. It is really more reliable.
     Mortality table are not so much accurate to show the real life studies, still, it is real, and with very good understanding it can be taken into consideration, what is right and when it is Scam or Propaganda.
      I post usually about diabetes. Diabetic diet must be low fat, low sugar, low carbs. At the same time our middle area is very wide. The conclusion? We do not follow recommended diet. So simple.
      In addition to diet scams it is usually a lot of publications what medicine to take as second line for diabetics type 2. First line after Diet and life style modifications did not work, is Metformin.
     Now, let us take a look at the Life style modifications. Did these modifications really fail? Or they never took the place? As it is in case of low carb diet, these modification can be only taken as granted by interview with patient. Then it is absolutely absurd. When the same diabetic come to another MD to another clinic, Life Style Modifications prescribed again.  Of cause, it fail, and the Q? still on table: What to Rx as second line treatment for Diabetes type 2?

      Why effect of treatment and how this diet effect life based on studies of diets? Really why? Why do not take a look at the treatment, and mortality as it is, all-cause mortality?

      About 20 years weight loss surgery on market. It is very effective way to get free money. Most health companies pay for this type of treatment. All MD, dentist or any other, suggest weight loss surgery. So, let us take a look at the mortality of those who took the hook. Just publish, how many victims of medical greed still alive after surgery, for how long? No studies like these. Victims would be blamed that they did not follow diet, collected pounds, and this is what they should not to do.
      If so, then add here those of us who refuse to take this hook, and still carry one huge weight, but .... alive. I am happy, I am not in Mortality table still. And I am 380 pounds, diabetics type 2, who ill all mu life. I was born diabetic to diabetic father.

In 1980 WHO introdused Type 2 diabetes, type of diabetes which could be treated with oral medicine, SU particularly. Now almost 40 years passed. Let us take a look at mortality table. Diabetes, not all-cause of Death, but Diabetes only, 100% preventable death with right treatment regime, now is number 7 cause of Death in America. How many diabetics type 2 die every year due to all-cause mortality?

Deaths: Diabetes remains the 7th leading cause of death in the United States in 2015, with 79,535 death certificates listing it as the underlying cause of death, and a total of 252,806 death certificates listing diabetes as an underlying or contributing cause of death. (ADA Stat)

     As usual, it is diabetics type 2 blamed, because without any scientific prove, diabetes type 2 caused by diet. Those who trust in MD try to survive on diet recommendations, believing they can "reverse" diabetes type, that they really not diabetics yet, because of they do not take insulin.  
       The q? is why they do not take insulin? MD usually say that they do not need Insulin, and in Pro Publications they put on diabetics that they so afraid needles that they cannot take insulin. Really? Little one, as little as 3-4 y.o. take insulin in injections. Mother put needle into time baby belly. But diabetic type 2 daddy afraid needle for the death. Really, is this not so odd?
        How many millions of undiagnosed diabetics in America? Why level of sugar is not vital? It is so easy to do. There are a lot of screaming for diabetes. There is no vital test for diabetes. Why? We are not contentious.  No one can get diabetes type 2 from diabetic type 2. But a lot of profit behind of diabetic's sufferings. There are all MD who can treat diabetics type 2. Why not? Really, who cannot Rx Life style Modifications and low sugar diet? Every one Old Wife can do it. Also there are a lot od referrers to fellow MD to sent diabetic type 2, naive and in great pain. Does those visits bring benefits to Diabetic type 2? Not at all. All visits only to carry money from one pocket, Health plan, to another pocket, MD. I usually say, why they need me? Why do not do it as deposit from one account to another, and let me die in comfort of my bed?

Unlike those of previous studies, the investigators of ARIC evaluated food sources in more detail, specifically for participants on low-carbohydrate diets. Replacing carbohydrates with animal-based proteins and fats was associated with a greater risk for mortality, whereas the inverse was true for plant-based proteins and fats, though this cohort was small. This is consistent with other large observational and randomized studies that suggest that a diet high in plant matter is healthier.

Now, let us take a look at the suggest that  "a diet high in plant matter is healthier." What is this about? Really, what is this about? Is this when I replace meat by green salad it is healthier? So, Elephants are heather the Lions, right? Right. They live for 200 years when tigers live only 25 and wolves only 16 years. Now take a look at the size of those who live 200 years and those who live 16 years, see the connection with humans? Those of us who has bigger size live longer, and smaller people live shorter lives.
     This is not scientific studies. It is just humor. The point is, how much energy and nutrition can be taken from plant diet? Is this study suggest how we have to eat healthy day-after-day? Not at all. It is only, this is better then that, and so on. But we have to get energy every day. We have different needs when we go to work, or watch TV full day. Depending what job we do there are different energy we need.
     There are no one study what I have to eat day after day, and how I will pay for this food, if in NYC I cannot have any public benefits if combined income with my husband higher then $1100. I am disable person. The trip from room to the kitchen is hike for me. I have to sit on my way and take the rest before I got to kitchen to open my fridge. My man lost his job because of he is older then I. SSI unimplemented check was $1380 for month for two of us.  MY SSI was terminated and Medicaid  was terminated at the same time. What I try to say, there is no one who count how to live life on Plant diet, day after day. But there is every one do know  what is best to eaat, how to eat, and what to do to reverse diabetes type 2.
      Why it is diabetes type 2 and not diabetes type 1? Because of there are not so many diabetics type 1 in America, less then million children and some adult who was diagnosed in childhood. They do live long almost normal life with some insulin shots. They do live longer then 60 years after being diagnosed with diabetes type 1. In contrary diabetics type 2 live less then 10 years if they do not stop take Junk Medicine and start to inject insulin. With this regime, insulin therapy, diabetics type 2 can live, regardless of amount of pounds around middle area.

252,806 death certificates listing diabetes as an underlying or contributing cause of death. 
100% preventable Death with Insulin in injections. These Death is only for one years. How many Lives was taken after 1980 when WHO introduced Diabetes type 2 and stopped to treat diabetics with Insulin?Maybe one day these studies would be finally run and it will be stopped. Do not Walk to stop Diabetes. Just stop to kill innocent people.
