‘Spoonful Of Sugar’ Makes The Worms’ Life Span Go Down
Although the findings are in worms, Cynthia Kenyon of the University of California, San Francisco, says there are known to be many similarities between worms and people in the insulin signaling pathways. (As an aside, Kenyon says she read up on low-carb diets and changed her eating habits immediately — cutting out essentially all starches and desserts — after making the initial discovery in worms. The discovery was made several years ago, but had not been reported in a peer-reviewed journal until now.)
Step by step, discovery by discovery, the low-fat, low-calorie, high-carb diet quacks are gradually being exposed as a major cause of obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, heart attacks, and stroke.
Ten years from now, they will be reviled as strongly as the global warming quacks.
