What Causes Type 2 Diabetes | Debunking the Keto Diet | Dr John McDougall | Mastering Diabetes

[Dr. Cyrus Khambatta has since decided to leave Mastering Diabetes and is no longer with the company. We wish him all the best.]

What causes type 2 diabetes? And why do you need to hear a debunking of the Keto diet? If you're living with type 2 diabetes and have been eating low-carb diets to help eliminate large spikes in blood sugar hoping to reduce the need for insulin, you would want to hear this.

Here's a conversation between Dr John McDougall and Mastering Diabetes for a straightforward answer as to what causes type 2 diabetes. As it turns out, buildup of toxic fat is the culprit. But how does too much body fat get someone there?

And somehow discussing fat as the culprit always leads to discussing how people choose their diets. Take Keto for example. People are so drawn to the Ketogenic diet because it allows the body to maintain glucose levels at a low but level. But Dr McDougall shows which part of the diet is problematic and more lies about the bad food people are taking in.

Here's the conversation:

Human civilization throughout history has been powered by starch
The problem with Keto diet
The problem with dietary guidelines for Americans

John McDougall, MD, is a physician, speaker, and best-selling author who teaches the importance of a whole food, starch-based diet in order to halt, reverse and heal chronic disease.

Dr. McDougall is co-founder of the McDougall Program alongside his wife, Mary McDougall – the original whole-food plant-based vegan and creator of thousands of low fat, oil-free, vegan recipes.

The McDougall Program is a leading medical program that heals chronic illness through professional medical care, world-class education, and ongoing support for people transitioning to a starch-based lifestyle.
