Everyone across the world is not getting diabetes from suddenly eating high fat diets. At least in those countries that have adopted our way of eating, people have been gradually increasing their animal fat and protein and processed food diets for the last thirty years. Not suddenly, and the fatter we get the more we get diabetes.

This isn't really true, well it is sorta true... but misleading. Everyone cut way back on fat because we were told that it was bad for us. It was replaced with more carbs. We got hungrier, thanks to the carbs, and ate even more carbs. Also people are eating stunning amounts of sugar, at even very young ages. T2 diabetes used to be an older persons disease, now it is showing up in children and even babies. Probably mom's diet is to blame too.
Now the message is getting out that fat isn't so bad. So yes, people are now (probably) eating more fat.
No one can draw the causality between obesity and anything. Not us, not McDougall. For all we know it has nothing to do with food at all. |
