The low fat means more sugar and that means more fat and obesity. The polyunsaturated oils mean more inflammation and in my opinion, more cardiovascular disease, along with a raft of other illness.

The current literature is undermining everything the Heart Foundation has been promoting for the last 30 years. Popular media is bringing it to the community’s attention (Time magazine this week). The Heart Foundation quoted literature is several years out of date.

Imagine the problem now that the Heart Foundation has.

The ‘prevention’ programmes that have been recommended and thrust upon us from the ‘peak authoritative body’ are making us fatter and sicker.

What are the lawyers going to do with that? They will be lining up for this one.

How would you feel if you have had your heart attack and taken the Heart Foundation advice only to find yourself propelled down an even more dangerous path? Shaky ground for the Heart Foundation and stormy waters ahead.

Next in line are all those corporate sponsors forking out hundreds of thousands of dollars to get the Heart Tick onto the food labels. They will have their own law suits to contend with and I suspect will then blame the Heart Foundation for giving them the wrong advice. Hard to imagine that they will keep giving their corporate dollars away when it gets messy.

The sooner the Heart Foundation considers openly that there is new research available the better. This was a well intentioned organisation initially but now needs to take responsible action – they are continuing to create harm every day.

The longer they keep a closed mind the more likely they will be closing their doors permanently.

I wonder if we might see the Heart Foundation and the Dieticians Association make the same statement.

Last year National Geographic took on the sugar question and now the Fat myth is exposed in Time.

Next may be the organisations (with their corporate sponsors) that keep the myth going.

As each month goes by we seem to be less ‘alone’ on standing up to these entrenched corporate sponsored views.

Wise words here from the blog. And not just for Diabetics.

‘Not sure why it’s treated as a joke as sex is an important part of a healthy and balanced lifestyle for most.

Sex is nice and pleasure is good for you, but it gets treated as a joke because people are embarrassed to talk about it, even in long term relationships.

This means that very many people don’t actually have the kind of sex and intimacy that they really want. And when it comes to trying to negotiate with your partner to get the kind of intimacy you want, people get tongue-tied and awkward, especially women, because nice girls don’t ask. Although how anyone can possibly bring pleasure to a partner without knowing what turns them on is beyond me. Hardly surprising that the libido hits rock bottom.

The biggest erogenous zone you have is in the space between your ears, if someone can’t stimulate that part for me it really isn’t going to go anywhere else. There is so much more to intimacy and a healthy sex life than penetrative sex, which is where many discussions seem to start and end, often with bruised egos.

Now, while there can be huge thrill to an illicit quicky, I’d say most of us would like to spend a bit more time. I think you need a running buffet attitude rather than a fast food approach to good sex.

Add to the embarrassment some of the problems you get with diabetes, especially if blood sugar is running high and you are fatigues and fuzzy headed or you have the longer term problems with erectile dysfunction or the risk of hypos if you are on insulin… bit of a minefield :?’

This weeks Lancet published a multi country article funded by Bill and Melinda Gates. It describes the rapid increase in BMI across all nations and highlights the problems particularly in developing nations.

“Worldwide, the proportion of adults with a body-mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m2 or greater increased between 1980 and 2013 from 28·8% to 36·9% in men, and from 29·8% to 38·0% in women.

Prevalence has increased substantially in children and adolescents in developed countries; 23·8% of boys and 22·6% of girls were overweight or obese in 2013.

The prevalence of overweight and obesity has also increased in children and adolescents in developing countries, from 8·1%
to 12·9% in 2013 for boys and from 8·4% to 13·4% in girls.”

The editorial comment included
“Does the whole food environment, not just dietary fat and tobacco, need to be changed to reduce exposure to calories, in circumstances in which economic growth, via consumption, is deemed to be of prime importance?

An appropriate rebalancing of the primal needs of humans with food availability is essential, which would entail curtailing many aspects of production and marketing for food industries.

To prevent unsustainable health consequences, BMI needs to return to what it was 30 years ago.”

The medical profession, diabetes educators and dieticians are largely stuck with creating the ‘victim’ mentality. Management is passive in eat your food and carbs and just have more and more medication.

Remember that the more carbohydrate you eat, the more insulin you require and the fatter and more insulin resistant you become.

How about having less sugar and carbohydrate from the outset?

Pretty simple concept – seems to work ONLY for EVERY diabetic I know.

Here is the letter 🙂

Dear Gary,

You may not remember me, I am … daughter and you have been treating my mum for some time.

Last year around October I accompanied her to a visit with you and we discussed my trialing you diet for my Diabetes.

I have been following this form of lifestyle since that time and have finally been able to get my GP to give me my results
regarding my bloods…..something she has been very hesitant to do!

I am forwarding them to you because I think you should see the results…and I am very Happy! The Cholesterol and
Triglyceride did not go through the roof as my GP predicted , and I maintained very good Blood Glucose levels .

What is not showing in these results is that my Insulin dosage has been reduced from 36 units per day to 18 units and I no longer use Metformin.

I have also lost 7kg which is a great bonus!!

Another great thing to come out of this way of life is that I had
Shingles in my mouth some years ago I have suffered greatly with Ulcers and re-occurring Shingles … they are now a thing of the past.

I would like to thank you for giving me a freedom of life that no longer defines the Diabetic but a person who can make
decisions about my own well being even if the so called professionals have told me it will not and cannot work for me.

I hope these results are helpful to your research.
Kind Regards,

Now if that doesn’t motivate someone to consider the No Fructose concept, then nothing will.

Very low sugar and carbohydrate, high fat and cut out those polyunsaturated oils – worth a try to get some control back.
