Thanks 1975supermike... I could not agree more. Nor could dozens of studies over the past two years; the largest being the massive "4-Diet Study" where even a diet as low-carb radical as Atkins still managed to out-perform low-fat and moderate-carb diets in lowering lipids (except HDL; HDL rose) and weight loss was superior. People like VariedInterest just live to insult others. I have learned never to let their own misery bother me too much. ; )

gr8 vid man good info. low carb diets are better for you than many people think.

I am leaving this online to demonstrate to the readers (a) that I gave you a chance at a rebuttal; you do nothing to spew ad homs... such a great defense of your absurd "totally false" comment that we "uneducated" (i.e. M.S., CCN) haven't a chance at a comeback quip; and (b) you extend your range of insights all the way to my emotional capacity as a human, not just carbohydrates, and yet somehow you believe yourself to be quite the lovely little thinker.What a tremendous ass.

The only thing you have "clear" is the space between your ears when you look through one and out the other. You are a posturing, babyish, uneducated macho clown who has been fooled by the unqualified validation of the very frivolous company you choose to surround yourself with, incapable as you are of critical thought or sincere emotion. It falsely reinforces many things you consider to be biological truths, but are actually common fallacies of a post-literate, intellectually atavistic society.

Oh really? Shoot -- prove your points. "Totally false" -- start there. Oh, and you can take a pass on the childish insults if you want to make another post. Clear?

I guess you need a brain to damage one. Very tricky business. Everything you just said ranges from dubious to totally false, mostly the latter.

Well, I've been on a very low 'cyclical' carb diet (cyclical being the operative word) for 15 years and I'm not a mental vegetable yet. Moreover, there are entire cultures that 'never' eat carbs (the Massai, the Inuit, etc.) without a hint of brain damage. The brain functions off fat and ketones more efficiently than glucose. Consider 250,000 years of evolution: No carbs except for warm periods. The brain adapted nicely... still does.

More of this HDL LDL bullshit, hahaha. It is pretty apparent for me from talking to people on really low carbohydrate diets, that doing so causes some form of brain damage.

The brain has long been viewed as an insulin-insensitive organ. Following the demonstration of insulin receptors in the brain, this assumption has been challenged, and a whole new field of research has emerged. Insulin appears to play a role in brain physiology, and disturbances of cerebral insulin signalling and glucose homeostasis are implicated in brain pathology. This special issue of the European Journal of Pharmacology provides an overview of research into the involvement of glucose. |
