SUGAR and meat. Gee, what’s truly inflammatory.  |
That's what stuck out to me also, sugar and meat in the same breath (or the same mouthful). This is a truly foolish uninformative article. I suffered from severe depression most of my adult life until I switched to a low carb/ketogenic diet. I didn't need to switch to a 0 carb all beef diet which doesn't mean it isn't effective, but why? Is it what one is eating or what one is not eating or some combination of the two?
Dr Georgia Ede writes a lot about diet and mental health. I'd much rather read what she has to say. http://www.diagnosisdiet.com/blog/ |
