  • PLANT BASED DIET!!! DOCTORS AND THE FOOD INDUSTRY WANT US FAT AND SICK!!!

  • EVERYTHING

  • @madmax200769 GA person or animal growing & weight gain can be 2 different things.Baby to adult grows but it doesn^t follow that they are fat or get fat.

  • @sumbarine "Its hard to understand isn^t it when your on crack cocaine ?"

    In view of your unfortunate condition, one which explains the disconnected nature of your posts, there will be no point in me continuing in vain to expect a rational discussion. I hope you resolve your coke problem and get counselling and rehabilitation. You should have highlighted this affliction earlier. It must be truly awful trying for you trying to reason whilst under the influence of this evil substance

  • @madmax200769 My claim is not that but against Taubes stating that carbs like white rice,sodas,cakes etc cause obesity because insulin goes up Point is that if u look at the 60s & Japan it doen^t.He claims that these rise insulin & therefore people get fat.Well they didn^t get fat in the 60s & neither in Japan.Insulin rising does not mean fat gain,if you exercise or limit portions.Insulin contributes to regulation of blood sugar but in the end thast6S meaningless if you burn more than u take in

  • @sumbarine In that case you'll have no problem describing the mechanism the body has for storing "calories" rather than triglycerides/blood glucose. Perhaps the dog has cells that inflate and fill with "calorie molecules"?

    "Its hard to understand isn^t it when your on crack cocaine ?"

    I guess it must be - you certainly have my sympathies. I'm sorry I didn't realise your drug handicap earlier. It must be incredibly difficult for you. I would have ceased discussion had I realised your problem

  • @sumbarine So, your claim....

    1) Obesity in the 60s USA was caused by coke, fries and apple pies

    2) Consumption of white rice causes Japanese to be non-obese

    #) POWs lacked calories not nutrition

    4) All people living in the Mediterranean eat pasta and fruit

    People who eat pasta and frut don't get insulin problems

    5) Dubious claims of contextual inaccuracy in Taubes' books prove the calorific hypothesis

    6) The popular cricism of Atkins being "high calorie" is false - Atkins is a low calorie diet

  • @madmax200769 He first cut back on the calories,yes that^s a start.The excercise after allowed him to lose more weigh quicker t. That^s why when people diet they increase there activity level a little & then reduce calories,so much easier than depriving yourself of food because in reality we are not meant to diet but to feed our bodies

  • @sumbarine It's clear that you haven't the remotest idea what Jared Fogel did and either can't read his story, can't find it or are simply relying on others to feed you stupid responses to post back.

  • @sumbarine You have no comprehension of what the term processed even means. The rest of the comment is an idiotic non-sequitur.
