Dietary Carbohydrate, Protein and Fat for Those With Glucose Metabolism Disorders. What is Optimal?hot!
- 16.01.2007
-
Dr Katharine Morrison has shared this amazing collection of research on the topic of macronutrients and what is optimal from a macronutrient perspective for those with glucose metabolism disorders (such as diabetes). She has compiled an amazing body of evidence in support of using lower carbohydrate diets as a treatment option--in addition there is also a large body of evidence which shows the many flaws in a high carbohydrate diet--both for the general population, but especially for those with diabetes.
I will slowly be adding some of these studies and collected research as individual content items in to D-solve, but I couldn't resist posting the motherlode now. If anyone reads through the materials on the Learn the Solution page and has questions around the lower carbohydrate part of the Diabetes Solution this is an amazing place to start your own research to gain any assurance you may need that this is the right way to treat diabetes.

The Protein Debatehot!

From the Introduction:
Protein plays a litany of roles in living systems: structural elements, peptide hormones, cell recognition, antibodies… the list is staggering and continues to grow as our understanding of biology expands. What, however, is the role of dietary protein in health and disease in humans? Is the source, type and quantity intimately and directly tied to optimal physical development and continued wellbeing? Is it causative or preventative of disease? How do we know, and how can we know?One would think this question should be straightforward and easily answered; as you will soon see the question is anything but simple! In the pages that follow, two scientists at the top of their respective fields--Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Professor of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University, author of The China Study and Dr. Loren Cordain Professor, Department of Health & Exercise Science, Colorado State University, author of The Paleo Diet—make their competing cases for the role of dietary protein in health and disease.
Commentary:
Obviously I side with protein and fat having a core place in our diets. - Homepage: http://www.performancemenu.com/resources/proteinDebate.pdf

Abstract
Correspondence of fat intake with civilisatory diseases (coronary disease and
cancer) is usually attributed to adverse effects of animal fat and cholesterol. The 'field studies' hemselves, undertaken to support this theory, failed. As the last environmental changes in human history are agriculture and rise of carbohydrate intake (and concomitant reduction of at and protein consumption), the author thinks that the carbohydrates rather than the animal ats cause our civilisatory diseases.
It can be shown that the spread of agriculture from the Near East to the West and North of
Europe with the accompanying differences in time for the adaptation to the new food (the
carbohydrates) easily explains the geographic differences in the frequency of civilisatory
diseases which is highest where (in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Finland) carbohydrates
came last. Highest, too, in those areas is the 'polymorphism' of genes which are related to
cardiovascular diseases (ACE, apolipoprotein-B etc.) This 'adaptation theory' explains also the hitherto unexplained up and down of cardiovascular disease in the USA by immigration from regions with higher adaptation to carbohydrates. - Hits: 486
