Obviously this is just a FB poll, not an RCT, PhD or submission to the Lancet, so there is obvious chance of selection bias but it’s still great to see. A SUSTAINED weight loss of > 3 stone just seems normal in this group - showing the power of peer support IMO. One member said:

What about reducing sugar and starchy carbs for younger people with #T2D ? I will be in discussion this Thursday Nov 25 9;50 am at the British Society for Paediatric Endochrinology & Diabetes #BSPED2021 Starch is 'soon to be sugar' as predicted by the glycaemic index.

Replying to @GHGGuru @guardian
And now the real figures from the most reliable source of European emissions, and as you can see livestock contributes roughly for 6 % to the total GHG emissions in Europe. @guardian should be able to do a better job than this. This is really poor!!

How interesting David since 1961 and yet so few docs know it’s carbs put triglycerides up Gathering data was the way I discovered this - then later found it was well known for years!

So what about cutting sugar & starchy carbs and the effect on fasting lipids ? Here is a very recent case. Note the inverse relationship. On average we found significant improvements in BP and lipids, particularly triglyceride levels. Our paper here: mdpi.com/1660-4601/16/15/268…

If government said "We're going to make it harder for companies to poison children," no rational person would object, would they? bbc.com/news/world-latin-ame…

It wasnt aggression. It was upset. @lowcarbGP NICE endorsed infographs have helped so many understand it's not only sweet foods like cakes and biscuits turn to sugar but also savoury foods. It was a massive step backwards in the fight against obesity and #t2d. A very sad day

Congratulations to @GELtd and all the contractors on the #UDDGP site! This is certainly exciting for #Cornwall and the UK! #geothermal #energy #engineering #technology #heat #power
Temperature of 188 Centigrade in our #geothermal well in #cornwall. Definitely enough for #geothermalpower generation 24/7. Exciting times.

DYK: between 1965-2017, just 20 fossil fuel companies emitted 35% of all global GHG emissions (Climate Accountability Institute). The cumulative total for the top emitter, Saudi Aramco, is SIX times the annual emissions of modern day China!

UPDATE: The @UN has deleted their tweet claiming meat is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than the world’s largest oil companies. It was the appropriate thing to do. Slowly but surely, we're starting to put the toothpaste back into the tube.

Take a look at thise two charts, The one on the right is effectively " carnivore" just imagine how many T2's could be saved if they understood this. Please help @SBakerMD get this research underway to enable scientific rigour to support anecdotal evidence.
Share and tag someone that you think can make a difference! Let’s make this critical study happen!! gofundme.com/f/carnivore-res…

From the BBC today. Between 2015 and 2018 the total quantity of soft drinks sold containing at least 5g of sugar per 100ml fell 50% while sales of drinks containing less than 5g per 100ml rose by 40%. RESULT ! 👊
