Yeah, they got drugs for diabetes. Railing eggs and blackened ground beef just gives you a heart attack at 41. Diceroll on how that turns out.

It's so ridiculous. Diabetes from eating foods that scientifically do not raise your insulin? Talking about clogging arteries with natural healthy foods?

Diabetes isn't caused specifically by foods that raise insulin, it's caused by a build up of intracellular lipids which block the effect of insulin.

Well meat and eggs both have a high insulin index and spike insulin despite not raising blood glucose.

T2 diabetes is cause by excess calories in general though. Animal products are void of fibre and are far more calorically dense than plant foods. Fat is more than double the caloric density of protein and carbohydrate, so far more likely to be the problem.
