No need to read further.
you can’t simply paint broad strokes and say this or that diet is “bad”.
People have all sorts of genetic differences and react differently to food intake.
My family is of Viking heritage. We are all prone to T2, high cholesterol, high BP and metabolic disease. Me and both of my sisters are T2, two of us were diagnosed with A1Cs over 11 (to use a technical term, that’s hella bad). Add to that my BP and cholesterol were off the charts bad.
What did Vikings eat? Not a moderate or high carb diet…
My T2 started when I was a young fit cyclists, consuming cyclists level of carbs.
A clean Keto/Whole Foods/close to carnivore diet has me off all medicine, all of my numbers are in the “excellent”range, my T2 has been in complete remission for 4+ years…
If I add carbs back in any level close to what is considered normal - that entire situation explodes.
What part of that, for me(and many like me) is unhealthy? How is it unhealthy? How is eating another diet better? When any other diet takes medication to counteract the effects?
It’s not black and white.
