I have read the books. Every fricking one of them. See my response to Lane2. The advice was harmful to me. When I figured out they were wrong, I threw them all away. Didn't donate them, in case they harmed someone else. There may well be a subset of people who benefit from their ideas. I am not one of them. There is zero reason to "keep an open mind" about a killer disease. There is zero reason to "keep an open mind" about quacks and charlatans. The proof is in the blood sugar meter reading, the A1c reading. It is what it is. Whenever there is money to be made preying on sick people, the predators will be there. Probably outnumbered by well meaning fools, especially fools with agendas. When one peels back the "research" that advances these agendas, the people behind them are vegans. I have nothing against vegans, but I do object to misleading sick people to advance the vegan agenda. It is possible to be a low carb vegan, just really, really hard. I am an omnivore, that's my choice. Maybe you don't have a carb problem. Many don't. Maybe you can eat unlimited carbs, maybe moderate carbs, and be perfectly healthy. That's you, not me. BTW, NOT saying sugar causes diabetes. The jury is still out on that, believe it or not. There is a very strong correlation, but correlation is not causation.
