    "If the patient eats less sugar and starch and makes up for this loss of nourishment by taking more fat such as cream, butter, olive oil, and fat meat, most of the symptoms of diabetes will vanish."

    Holy *kitten*!

    Thanks for the ref.

    I am no longer shocked by the things we knew and had proof of a hundred years ago, or more, and have forgotten since those times.

    I immediately went to page 65 to read the chapter on The Diet of Normal People. What a shame. We have definitely been mislead for the last 50+ years.
