Contacted a local specialist diabetes treatment center today. Asked them a simple question: how many of your patients achieve remission? they said they don't track that. I assumed they meant this year so asked for historical data. Nope. They've never tracked that

Harvard: "Low carb diets cause diabetes!" *checks appendix* Their "low carb" group ate 46% carbs. That's not low carb. That's literally the food pyramid. So congrats Harvard, you accidentally proved the food pyramid causes diabetes.

EAT-Lancet 2.0: The diet they'll force-feed you while pretending it's for your health. Meat up 20% in 2025 alone. Convenient, isn't it? Their solution: grains, seed oils & supplements. Lots of supplements. Because apparently evolution got it wrong for 2 million years. Even

If they can't discredit your ideas they'll try to smear the person Tobacco industry tactics Don't fall for it.

Every single "scientist" named on this paper is from Harvard. Harvard was started by the food industry and has been funded by them ever since. Surprise surprise they produce more epidemiological BS using statistical gymnastics and obvious obsfucation to try to convince you to
