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.

Cereal Grains: Humanity´s Double-Edged Swordhot!
- 14.02.2007
-
From an evolutionary perspective, humanity’s adoption of agriculture, and hence cereal grain consumption, is a relatively recent phenomenon. This research shows that this event occurred in most parts of the world between 5,500 and 10,000 years ago. Cereal grains represent a biologically novel food for mankind [341, 342], consequently there is considerable genetic discordance between this staple food, and the foods to which our species is genetically adapted. Cereal grains lack a number of nutrients which are essential for human health and well-being; additionally they contain numerous vitamins and minerals with low biological availability. Furthermore, the inability of humans to physiologically overcome cereal grain antinutrients (phytates, alkylresorcinols, protease inhibitors, lectins, etc.) is indicative of the evolutionary novelty of this food for our species. This genetic maladaptation between human nutrient requirements and those nutrients found in cereal grains manifests itself as vitamin and mineral deficiencies and other nutritionally related disorders, particularly when cereal grains are consumed in excessive quantity.
Although, cereal grain consumption may appear to be historically remote, it is biologically recent; consequently the human immune, digestive and endocrine systems have not yet fully adapted to a food group which provides 56% of humanity’s food energy and 50% of its protein. - Homepage: http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/produkte.asp?Doi=59677
