The Amount and Types of Fats and Proteins in The Diet

Finally, common sense! I agree with you completely. Like most other things in life, not everything is all good or all evil. Way too many other factors, too many shades of gray. And I still believe genetics plays a bigger role than we think.

None of those studies had anything to do with whether or not food was "processed," "natural," or contained "additives." They all had to do with the amount and types of fats and proteins in the diet, the amount of exercise, and the amount of calories taken in. They all demonstrated that diets low in animal fats, low in animal protein, and lower in calories was healthier. In the U.S., that basically translates to a Mediterranean diet. For us diabetics, we need to modify the carbohydrates down from the typical Mediterranean diet.
