Paleopathology and the Origins of the Low-carb Diet

We are not breatharians. We are not fruitarians. We are not vegans. We are not vegetarians. We are not lacto-ovo vegetarian. We arent carnivores. We are super carnivores.
Early into the video he talks about smaller stomach equals bigger brain, thanks to being meat eaters.

Kind of runs contra to everything in the mainstream medical world and media. And surely it is dependant to at least some degree on blood group? Meat suiting O types much better than others??

Hmmm, listened to that talk. Don't know what to think, too much conflicting info from all sides.
My take is, eat to keep your blood sugar from spiking and as close to 82 as practical (Dr Bernstein) as long as inflammation markers are kept very low, no calcification of arteries, very good assimilation and elimination (microbiom) then we can expect minimal health problems????
Anything i missed????
Carnivore or vegan/vegetarian might both be good depending on genetics? but what might be most important how the food source is grown???
This is the mechanistic part of health - what about the psychological/spiritual ????

What does 82 mean?

Sorry, my fault. mg/dl blood glucose. I thing Dr Bernstein says that 83, my mistake again.

Thanks, that's quite low.
This from mayo clinic

A blood sugar level less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) is normal. A reading of more than 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) after two hours indicates diabetes. A reading between 140 and 199 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L and 11.0 mmol/L) indicates prediabetes.Aug 8, 2018

Joe is right. Keep that fasting BG around 85 and watch out for spikes above 130. Healthy low carb eating will keep you under 110 even right after meals.

I know for a fact (backed by research) that my heart issues have the predominate root cause high intake of sugar, fructose, refined carbs, omega 6 oils and hyperglycemic and hyperinsulinemic spikes.

Changing my diet to paleo/sapien has changed a 50% annual CAC progression rate to ~ an 18% annual regression rate.

It's possible that in 7-8 years I can unwind most of the damage I caused.

86 yo Dr Bernstein MD, a type one diabetic since age 11, still practicing strongly disagrees with Mayo, and explains why, in many of his monthly ca. 1 hour talks.

I'm a fan of Dr. Bernstein. As a non-diabetic who bought my first glucometer in 2006, just to understand what my blood sugar was doing (had an A1C of 5.2% then), I thought looking at glucose from a diabetic's eyes would be a good thing to help me understand. Bernstein's and his work were part of what I studied. He tells the story of how he came up with 83 mg/dL as a good number. The meter manufacturers would hire young healthy people to come around and meet with docs about the meters. As Bernstein already sampled his own glucose many times a day, as a T1, he would ask the sales reps to sample their own glucose. Invariably it was 83. So Bernstein figured that was a good number.

One of my friends, a LADA T1.5 (late adult onset) traveled to see him and spent a day or so there. Said he is extremely brilliant and also very dogmatic.

I would say that 83 mg/dL is a VERY good number but not what is normal today.
I was looking at a forum where by people would compare daily their fasting blood sugar levels and they were about 100 to 120.
Very few were below 100.

colindo, this is disturbing. It might be normal by the definition when the majority has the same problem?

My last one was 93 - I'll take that
