He also did his own research and found a community already aware of the root of the problem. After cutting out the carbs, he dropped his A1C, got off medications, and now considers himself cured.
“To his credit, when my doctor saw my blood sugar numbers, he took me off all medication. “You don’t need me any more,” he said. But he also evinced a shocking lack of curiosity about what I did to lower my A1C so dramatically. I now realize my doctor was making an honest attempt to follow the guidelines issued by the American Diabetes Association. I didn’t ask him if he was aware that the top five funders of the ADA are the pharmaceutical companies Abbott, AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly and Co, Novo Nordisk and Regeneron.”

What Is Science and What Isn't It?
Much of modern American science, especially in academia and media, has devolved into politicized "scientism" lacking true scientific rigor, driven more by consensus and funding than predictive models and validation. In contrast, real science is objective, testable, and often found in high-stakes industrial settings like defense technology.

The BTS Truth about Net Carbs
How the ‘net carbs’ concept came to be, and was eventually bastardized by the food industry.
Anyone who’s weighed and measured their food while tracking macronutrients is familiar with the concept of ‘net carbs.’ Take the total carbs, subtract the fiber, and you’re left with net carbs, which is all you need to track. The practice traces back to the concept that the human body cannot digest fiber and turn it into calories, so while technically carbohydrates, they shouldn’t be counted in your macronutrient totals.

The article "A Postural Error" by Greg Glassman explains how hip dysfunction, termed Muted Hip Function (MHF), compromises power, stability, and mechanics in athletes. It identifies poor hip extension as a common issue during movements like push presses, leading to instability and reduced performance.
