Guest guest Posted January 5, 2002 Report Share Posted January 5, 2002 http://www.mercola.com/article/Diet/ Lower Your Grains and lower your insulin levels Over the past fifteen years, our dietary establishment has made a virtual industry of extolling the virtues of carbohydrates. We're constantly told that carbohydrates are the good guys of nutrition, and that, if we eat large amounts of them, the world should be a better place. In such a world, the experts tell us, there will be no heart disease and no obesity. Under such guidance, Americans are gobbling breads, cereals, and pastas as if there were no tomorrow, trying desperately to reach that 80 to 85 percent of total calories advocated by the high-carb extremists. Scientific Evidence of the value of eating few grains Unfortunately, the debate over the validity of this concept has primarily been waged in the media and lay publications and not in the scientific journals. Many of the popular books which support this position are gimmicky, and often, lack adequate scientific referencing. Yet, at their core is very important concept -- limiting the intake of carbohydrates, (especially as cereal grains and starches), will improve human health .........more...... ******** Dr Mercola is not the last word but this is not just his opinion.

In some strange twisted way, the dietary establishment may be trying to stave-off global starvation. We have far more humans than ever before on this planet. I am not sure we have enough land to feed everyone lots of grass fed meat & veggies grown without chemical fertilizers. So the powers-that-be push a diet which they can provide. That's my take on it, anyway. Alobar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2002 Report Share Posted January 5, 2002 How long will it be until the science fiction portrayals of carrying a tray to a spigot and pushing a button to get a glop of something to eat are a fact?

Both are " fiction " but I sometimes wonder about the nature of what is real & what is delusion. Alobar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
