Rabbit hole: I once overheard that nearly everything that could outrun us we eventually domesticated.

So does everybody else, but since we don't have public houses anymore, places like Facebook Groups make for meaningful areas where people can gather and exchange information and ideas can be shared and rationally discussed.

Concerns? Since there is no data, "concerns" equals presuppositions that themselves are not derived from data but were culturally and perhaps formerly taught that fat is bad. A high-fat diet derives from the first study done in the late nineteenth century (it's been well over a decade since I...

Okay, those people are killing diabetics, txdon. Eating fat doesn't cause one to become fat, eating carbs with anything else is what spikes insulin and packs on the fat. Fat takes our bodies the longest to process and turn into sugars. As Md. Fuhrman stated in his The End of Diabetes, while...

It was obvious in the context of the thread that I was speaking about type 2 diabetes because we were not discussing Type 1 diabetes. Type 1s are born that way and your remark, "Don't let the uninformed belittle you because of their ignorance" against my person is both unwarranted and unappreciated.
