    Very probably so, at least with milk consumption.
    Thats the catch with those food intake studies.. you just can't say
    "selenium causes respiratory syndroms" out of something like that because
    nobody actually eats iron, they eat foods containing it.. and those foods
    are associated with a very distinctive pattern of additional food components
    that may play the important part or actually be the cause.

    Correct; also dairy products have a low glycemic index, and diets
    rich in such foods tend to lower the risk of diabetes and obesity
    if they are also low in fat. It is likely that a high percentage of
    people who eat lots od dairy products also consume other low gycemic
    index foods. The study would have been more revealing if the weight of
    the participants had also been taken into consideration.

    Gi is not relevant here. The question was that when people use milk

    conclusion. Added fats tend to increase gi so the low fat forms might in
    principle actually have a higher gi' without doing the tests of course.

    It is not logical nor supported by evidence your conclusion about food

    Why do we not ask an expert about carbs and diabetes? How about a Type

    and years.

    Read the reviews.

    His approach is to cut carbs. Cutting carbs makes it possible for
    diabetics to control blood glucose levels with minimal insulin. And
    cutting carbs will stop the progression of diabetes. In pre-diabetics
    and metabolic-syndromes it can resolve all, if not most, of the
    symptoms.

    Let's see a doctor get the same results by increasing the consumption
    of coffee or LOW FAT milk. That whole coffee or milk as a protector
    from diabetes concept is pure un-adulterated [censored]. That you would
    buy into it shows just how stupid educated people can be.

    Not exposing ourselves to huge amounts of carbs is what protects us
    from diabetes type 2.

    Study Blames Corn Syrup for Rise of Diabetes in US
    posted 04/29/04
    Corn syrup and other refined foods may be much to blame for the huge
    increase in type-2 diabetes in the United States over the past few
    decade.

    A study of nearly 100 years of data on what Americans eat show a huge
    increase in processed carbohydrates, especially corn syrup, and a large
    drop in the amount of fiber from whole grains, fruits and vegetables.
    It parallels a spike in the number of cases of type-2 diabetes, caused
    by the body's increasing inability to properly metabolize sugars.

    "We are seeing this big jump in the number of calories," that people
    are eating, Dr. Lee Gross, a family physician at the Inter-Medic
    Medical Group in North Port, Florida, who led the study, said in a
    telephone interview. "We tried to break down where are these calories
    coming from? We have heard everyone debating is it because of fat, is
    it because of carbohydrate and it is not really clear," Gross added.

    "This shows the increase in the past 20 years is almost exclusively
    carbohydrates and certainly corn syrup consumption has increased
    dramatically." Gross said he was not "picking on the corn syrup
    industry," but added, "It is hard to ignore the fact that 20 percent of
    our carbohydrates are coming from corn syrup -- 10 percent of our total
    calories."

    An estimated 16 million Americans have type-2 diabetes, the sixth
    leading cause of death overall. And many studies have linked a high
    intake of refined carbohydrates and other foods with a high "glycemic
    index" with the development of diabetes.

    Foods with a high glycemic index cause a spike in insulin production.
    Many experts agree that, over time, repeatedly eating foods in this
    pattern can cause insulin resistance, which in turn leads to diabetes.

    Writing in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Gross and
    colleagues said they used data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture
    and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to show that people have
    eaten about the same amount of carbohydrates a day on average -- 500
    grams -- since 1909. But instead of whole grains and vegetables, people
    are getting more and more of those carbs in the form of processed
    grains and sugars -- most of all, in corn syrup, they said.

    Gross, with colleagues at the Harvard School of Public Health and the
    CDC, found that starting in 1980, people started consuming steadily
    more calories, with an average increase in total calories of 500
    calories a day.

    "Specifically, 428 calories (nearly 80 percent of the increase in total
    energy) came from carbohydrates," they wrote. Gross said people are
    probably not eating all those 500 calories. Some could be wasted. "It's
    an estimate. It's hard to interpret," he said. But the trend was clear.
    "During the same period, the prevalence of type-2 diabetes increased by
    47 percent and the prevalence of obesity increased by 80 percent," they
    wrote.

    Audrae Erickson, President of the Corn Refiners Association, called the
    report misleading.

    "Diabetes rates are rising in many countries around the world that use
    little or no high fructose corn syrup in foods and beverages, which
    supports findings by the Centers for Disease Control and the American
    Diabetes Association that the primary causes of diabetes are obesity,
    advancing age and heredity," she said in a statement.
    Dr. John White, Caloric Sweeteners Expert, on behalf of the Corn
    Refiners Association states that " The authors have done a rigorous
    job of reviewing food commodity availability data from 1909 to 1997.
    Unfortunately, they lack basic knowledge about food commodities and
    commit numerous and significant factual errors, including:

    Incorrectly describing the composition of corn syrup. Corn syrups are a
    family of liquid products containing a range of glucose
    monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides;

    Confusing corn syrup with high fructose corn syrup - the former
    contains only free and bound glucose, the latter contains both glucose
    and fructose;

    Incorrectly describing the composition of high fructose corn syrup -
    this product does not "largely consist of the monosaccharide fructose,"
    rather it contains roughly equal amounts of glucose and fructose, as
    does sucrose;

    Failing to state that the consumption data attributed to high fructose
    corn syrup actually represent total consumption data for all liquid
    corn syrups and sweeteners - a family of products representing a wide
    range of compositions and physical, functional and metabolic
    properties;

    Concerning metabolic results, high fructose corn syrup closely mirrors
    sucrose; and

    Incorrectly implying a distinction between sucrose and high fructose
    corn syrup in insulin resistance, where none has ever been proven -
    in fact, few studies have been conducted with high fructose corn syrup;
    due to similarities in composition, it would be expected that high
    fructose corn syrup would correlate strongly with sucrose.

    Facts About High Fructose Corn Syrup

    HFCS is virtually identical compositionally to table sugar;
    HFCS and table sugar, both half fructose and half glucose, elicit a
    similar glycemic response;
    HFCS and table sugar are indistinguishable to the human body;
    HFCS is a natural sweetener made from corn;
    HFCS is safe to consume and can be part of a healthy, balanced diet.

    Was offered in support of the claim that diabetes was caused by amounts of
    carbohydrates consumed, especially corn derived fructose sweeteners.

    This study falls far short as a definitive answer for causation when
    compared to the research being done on the ultimate origins of diabetes.
    To restate, it is widely thought to be a genetic based disorder of fat
    metabolism leading to a cascade of effects leading to diabetes. Among
    those effects, but no more important nor as a leading effect is the
    consumption of carbohydrates and saturated fats which in turn cause even
    more effects. In the above study this is confirmed, if one eats in excess
    of energy needs and the cascade has started then concentrated fructose can
    be a problem. This is not because of them being carbohydrates per sey but
    because fructose has an even greater negative effect of causing far more
    protein glycation then does other sugars and the glycation has a direct
    effect on beta cell health. As said before, the diabetes question is very
    complex and interrelated as to effect, and single narrow answers
    fail almost at once when compared to the research.

  11. I know of the good doc and have the first edition of his book and his work
    is a fine example of science, not in contrast to it. His approach is for
    diabetics and those on the way to becoming one. In the context of
    previous posts, it is for those people who have diabetes and/or the
    cascade leading to it in those genetically vulnerable. Because controling
    glucose intake makes applying use of insulin much easier his work has
    great merit. It does not support the idea that carbohydrates in the first
    place causes diabetes. Those parts of the world traditionally with the
    lowest diabetes rates are also some of the highest in carbohydrate
    consumption. Again, applying narrow answers to a complex question is a
    dead end in the face of the complexity of the problem biologically.
    Appealing to his work is a bad case of apples and oranges as to the
    ultimate cause of diabetes, once it developes it is a good approach to
    controling insulin usage most effectively.

    That is exactly what it supports. Diabetes is an insulin
    overproduction, insulin receptor destruction and eventually an insulin
    depletion disease. Years of over-consumption of refined carbs leads to
    chronic high blood glucose levels. The chronic high blood glucose
    causes many degenerative conditions including blindness, poor
    circulation etc, the hallmarks of diabetics. It also beats up the
    insulin receptors to the point that they atrophy and die which causes
    insulin resistance. When insulin resistance occurs, the body has to
    produce massive amounts of insulin to achieve a "normal" response to
    the insulin. Eventually the pancreas has produced a lifetimes worth of
    insulin in a few short years of high-refined-carb consumption.

    Controlling carbs will stop chronic blood glucose levels in ins tracks,
    it will stop further damage, and in some cases reverse some of the
    damage done by the previous chronic high blood glucose.

  14. "That is exactly what it supports. Diabetes is an insulin

    depletion disease. Years of over-consumption of refined carbs leads to"

    I have no desire to debate the point, his book is about treatment leading
    to best use of insulin as a balance to diet. While better, the above
    still assumes the origin being amount of carbohydrates eaten. Why can
    most people eat as many as they choose and not become diabetic? The above
    is missing many many steps of explanation reflecting the research of the
    past 10 years. The "sugar causes diabetes" theory was abandoned long ago.
    We must make cause and effect. The cascade of several factors started and
    fed by their interaction involves saturated fats and glucose but to single
    out the latter alone is to miss the mark of what is known now.

    "[censored]. Show me any study that says that. Prove it."

    I have no desire to respond to such, the information is well known and
    widely available on the internet and easily found. More important is that
    is known and accepted for a long time now among the researchers intrested
    in the question of nutrition and diabetes. I would have thought that
    anyone intrested in the question would know this by now? It appears that
    polemic is the goal and not learning what is common knowledge if it might
    contridict a fondly held belief.

    "The hfcs using curve perfectly parallels the diabetes occurrence curve
    with a 10 or 11 years lag. When the hfcs usage curve goes up the diabetes
    occurence curve follws it about 10 or 11 years later. "

    A confusion of cause and effect. If it is hfcs then it is not amount of
    carbohydrates consumed? Elsewhere in the world sucrose is used and not
    corn fructose and the rate of diabetes is growing. I provided a response
    to the fructose question previously. It contributes to the cascade of
    effects, it does not start the process.

    Whatever is causing the increase in diabetes worldwide it is not amount of
    carbohydrates consumed and proposing such a narrow theory can not be
    sustained. May I suggest you review the online abstracts of the journals
    "Diabetes" and "diabetes Care" for what research is now reflecting. Also
    these medical related sites can be consulted:

    Bty, the dear doc whose work you have misapplied contributes to the
    latter.

    ..

  15. I see no reason to continue. You are obviously uninformed on many key
    areas of the research, misapply that little you know, and are unwilling to
    inform yourself and choose polemics over logical and research supported
    discussion. Opinion only goes so far and we have reached that point.
    The entire area of "evil people doing evil things" as a conspiracy that
    has been injected into the posts is a case in point and is irrelevant and
    only reinforces my view as above.

    Quoted message said:

    most people eat as many as they choose and not become diabetic?

    There may be other lesser factors involved but the trend is
    statistically clear that those who consume more sugars and refined
    carbs will either become diabetic, or pre-diabetic or have metabolic
    syndrome X to some degree or other. Remember, it isn't a simple matter
    of "either you are diabetic or you are not", it is a matter of degree
    of damage to the insulin receptors and the pancreas' ability to produce
    insulin.

    The above

    The sugar causes diabetes was "abandoned" when the American Diabetes
    Association started taking millions from the food and pharmaceutical
    and sugar industries. And their position is amply "supported" by
    studies funded by the same groups.

    It has been accepted since the ADA started pushing their "We don't

    No confusion. There has been a slew of studies pointing to refined
    carbs as the culprit, despite the objections of the ADA.

    Here is one:

    Increased consumption of refined carbohydrates and the epidemic of type
    2 diabetes in the United States: an ecologic assessment1,2,3

    Conclusions: Increasing intakes of refined carbohydrate (corn syrup)
    concomitant with decreasing intakes of fiber paralleled the upward
    trend in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes observed in the United
    States during the 20th century.

    Bty, the dear doc whose work you have misapplied contributes to the
    latter.

    The "Diabetes" and "diabetes Care" journals are owned by the food and
    pharmaceutical industries. Read them all you want. I would not waste my

    without any critical thinking on their part whatsoever. They learn well
    how to be sheep and follow the crowd. It takes a particular genius to
    understand that their view of the world is not set in stone as their
