Re: Does eating carbohydrates lead to metabolic disorders?


People.... the jackasses who are trying to convince us thru this
"science" are themselves owners of Novo Nordisk stock. The researchers
are stockholders of a company that makes billions from "treating"
diabetes with insulin and glucose lowering drugs.

If it was known that you can control the progression of diabetes T2 and
limit the use of these drugs by restricting carbs in the diet these
"scientists" would themselves lose money right out of their pockets.
They stand to make money by disputing the effects of restricting carbs
on blood glucose levels.

Do you really think that these "researchers" would say anything other
than what they concluded in this "study"? Do you guys not understand
basic scientific independence and integrity?

This is not science it is marketing. It is the scientific equivalent of
insider trading. It is dishonest. It is junk.
