    Yes, high glucose levels from carbs and simple sugars are well-associated with heart disease and arterioschlerosis. Diabetic and pre-diabetic blood conditions are hell on arteries. And carbs have almost no satiation response, so you’ll eat a bag of chips or a huge plate of pasta without getting full. I wore a continuous blood glucose meter for a couple of months and it was eye-opening what even small amounts of “healthy” carbs do to your glucose levels.

    Insulin resistance short of diabetes is still a much higher risk factor for CAD than saturated fats. Yet demonizing fats is still a holdover from the very suspect Seven Countries study.

      Ancel Keys has killed millions with his cherry picked papers.

      The CGM doesn’t lie, all anyone has to do to see the truth of it is to wear one. I recommend everyone to do this at least once.
