Do you actually believe that eating "too many animals and not enough plants" is the cause of diabetes (I assume you're referring to Type II)?
- seidleroni 8y agoI think that is exactly the point Dr Greger makes. Specifically not enough unprocessed plant foods. (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-causes-diabetes/ https://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-causes-diabetes/). Click on the "sources" section to get the sources cited.
- jmulho 8y agoYes, I do believe that, and yes Type II (not Type 1). According to Dr. Greger there is mounting evidence that fat is the cause, and that problems processing carbs is the symptom. Here are his videos with many studies cited: https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/diabetes/ https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/diabetes/. Or Google type 2 diabetes and vegans. Here is the first thing I found: https://veganhealth.org/type-2-diabetes-in-vegans/ https://veganhealth.org/type-2-diabetes-in-vegans/. I'll take a 68% lower rate as some evidence. Vegans, by the way, are people who eat "too many plants and not enough animals". It helps with certain diseases.
