Peter Attia - TED Talk - What if we’re wrong about diabetes

in #health7 years ago

The theory expressed by Peter Attia is that constant bombardment by high levels of glucose can cause cells to become insulin resistant (diabetes) which causes obesity, heart diseaseand many other western diseases. It basically means too much sugar is bad and that too much sugar through out your entire life can kill.

I found this really good 15 min ted talk on the the causes of diabetes in modern society.

"Peter Attia: What if we're wrong about diabetes?"

As a young ER doctor, Peter Attia felt contempt for a patient with diabetes. She was overweight, he thought, and thus responsible for the fact that she needed a foot amputation. But years later, Attia received an unpleasant medical surprise that led him to wonder: is our understanding of diabetes right? Could the precursors to diabetes cause obesity, and not the other way around? A look at how assumptions may be leading us to wage the wrong medical war.

Hi everyone, yes definetly think we need to be careful about the amount of sugar we get in our diets. Sometimes there is a lot of hidden sugar in food, especially, low fat products. I find it best to stick to a diet with lots of Vegetables, nuts, seeds and good quality meat. My father is healing well, thank you.

Thanks your informaction

this is good news. my uncle had diabetes since the last 8 years. various treatment alternatives have been undertaken, but not yet recovered. maybe you have more information, or have a chance to ask your local doctor. this will greatly help him towards healing.
