I am overwhelmed with negative responses. The truth is that these things can hide in plain sight. Take for example scurvy. The cure for scurvy was known for a very long time before it was proven to be citrus fruits in the famous experiment, the very first clinical trial. This isn’t well known, but it’s true. Native tribes knew about scurvy and demonstrated the cure to many Europeans long before Europeans rediscovered the cure. European doctors simply ignored it, and didn’t bother looking into the matter. It’s pretty unbelievable. But you haven’t seen anything yet… after the famous clinical trial of citrus fruits, scurvy was finally defeated, right? Wrong! The results of this clinical trial, which was held onboard a ship and witnessed by many people, written about and so on, were ignored by doctors! For an incredible amount of time, the cure was not only known about but scientifically proven and yet the medical establishment ignored it and people went right on dying of scurvy just as they always had. An artifact of the times, right? That could simply never happen today. We are too virtuous.
Now take for example the lipid hypothesis of heart disease. It’s absolutely riddled with holes. And there is more than enough evidence to topple it over. But the story repeats itself. And there are many things that are ignored. Many, many people are lucky enough to never be concerned with it. There are an unlucky few, though, who’s stories intersect with this unfortunate little oversight.
Anyway, our bodies need carbs. If you don’t eat them your body just makes them. They are required for explosive effort and other things. But we were never intended to eat mostly carbs, despite what people say. For millions of years people mostly ate animals. The modern human eats almost nothing but carbs and it results in a lot of problems that aren’t classified as diseases now but will be later. Cheers.
