You're 110 percent right.

Unfortunately peeple hang onto what they " like " and crave ( usually fats) .

Personally Im extremely happy not to have to think about food.

My constant every hour every day desires for excess food are truly over with.

Now I need to get rid of the excess skin and empty ( constantly hungry) fat cells .

Thanks for another study proving my point.

"They find that consumption of a high-fat diet and high intakes of saturated fat are associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. However, this association disappears when they adjust for BMI."

Obesity results in Type 2 diabetes. And simple carbs -- junk food -- results in obesity. People aren't becoming obese on red meat and more than they are on carrots.

No one is advocating substituting carbs for fat. That's ludicrous.

Type 2 diabetes is caused by many things, but obesity is number one on the list. High carbohydrate intake is number one on the list of reasons people become obese.

Your insulin resistance is not a result of eating too much fat, especially since you say you aren't eating much fat.

Nutritionfacts is a one man band by Dr. Greger. I don't lend him much credence. The Cleveland Clinic is a much better source: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22206-insulin -resistance

Fats don't make people diabetic. Carbs do, especially simple carbs. Fats don't cause dumping, simple carbs, especially sugars do.

Topic: RE: 17 years out and intense heartburn

Thank you! I did have the EGD done on Monday and stomach is not damaged. He did end up dilating esophagus and did a biopsy of the area (should get results in a few weeks, I think). My throat is still a bit sore. I can feel where the biopsy was done, but I don't think the stretching caused any pain.

I also had a colonoscopy done that day. They couldn't fini**** as I have a long/redundant colon and he couldn't get through all the twists and turns (not for a lack of trying as I guess they turned me on my back and pushed on my belly and tried to finish, but couldn't). Nothing was found in the first part of the colon, so they ordered Cologuard for me to just check for things that way for now.

I was hoping to not have to take Prilosec for life -- but even with the stretching, I still have heartburn if I don't take the prilosec. Sooooo, I take it. Need to research some more natural remedies as long term use of Prilosec scares me. Maybe a good probiotic?
