The below-referenced video discusses the current health crisis with obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. I mention Ancel Keys and his contribution to dietary guidelines. I discuss the departure of the 1977 dietary guidelines from our prior way of eating. I discuss Dr. Osler and his treatment of diabetes with carbohydrate dietary restriction. I discuss the invention of insulin and how this changed the practice of the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes. I admit that we may have access to limited study in the nutritional area, but the recent Virta Health study has shown promise in treating patients with metabolic disease with low carbohydrate, high-fat diet.
