Such are the findings of this intriguing study, and I suspect the authors probably "massaged" the data a bit in order to avoid getting their study rejected by the peer-review committee. Cases of diabetes II without the presence of obesity are extremely rare, so the finding that nut consumption...
Hey,
Has Peat mentioned anything about optimal blood sugar levels? The only quote in which he mentioned numbers was related to the resistance to allergy. I got a blood sugar measurement device because I feel my blood sugar is still somewhat unstable and I never know if it´s too high or too low...
For most of the people who have been eating this way for a long time....have your blood sugar levels or insulin gone up? Were they low/normal to begin with?
On low carb both of these were low/normal for me and now have gone up. Does this settle down eventually? How long?
I was curious to know how people charted their temperature and pulse. I have often gotten started on this using a thermometer and using my wrist for pulse. But I have usually given up soon after as its inconvenient at work and anytime you're outside the house. I was looking for One gadget that...
How to know that the cravings for sugar after a high GI index meal occur due to insulin or due to counter-regulatory stress hormones? Since both of them probably generate cravings to compensate by providing fast energy..
This post is on vitamin B6 (pyridoxine, or pyridoxal-5-phosphate). This vitamin has a long history of administration in diabetes and hyperglycemic conditions. It is especially effective in combination with vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin B2 (riboflavin) and vitamin B7 (biotin). Vitamin B6 doses...
I've tested my fasting blood sugar at home a few times in the last week, and the results have all been over 100mg - up to 111mg/dl (6.2 mmol).
This would put me in "pre-diabetes" range.
I've got old blood glucose readings done through a doctor about 3 months into Peating when I was at 90, and...
Another confirmation of Peat's ideas, in addition to the already known link between estrogen and aggression. I already posted a human study on aggression between spouses being linked to low blood sugar, which matches well with this study below.

The study only looked at couples, but I don't see why it would not be true for the general population as well.

I know several people working on public policy and they are seeing signs that the anti-fructose trend is about to reverse. By "about to reverse" I mean 3-5 years, b/c that's how long it takes for public policy to start reflecting the "latest" research:-)...
