@truth2748 also, only the PCRM (which again, is a peta-funded vegan-promotion agency, nothing more) is the only one of the agencies you mention that claims vegan is healthier than non-vegan balanced diet.

@AlbertaBeefy “The PCRM is PETA funded and under 5% of members are physicians”. There is no need to continue this conversation.

@truth2748 Not sure what you mean by that – that’s a known truth about the PCRM.

Apparently he knows it, and so do I. Wikipedia is currently claiming 7.5% of their members are physicans… But other resources claim 5% …

Out of curiousity, which part of his statement do you challenge?

Quick FYI truth2748 – I *AM* a type 2 diabetic. I gave the vegan diet a fair try. It did NOT lower my glucose adequately, whereas LCHF did for me. I eat lots of healthy raw / steamed veggies now, much more than I did prior to my diagnosis.

The truth is tens of thousands of diabetics have gotten their sugars under excellent control using LCHF – most Type 2’s that try vegan cannot get their sugars in healthy targets. The problem is most doctors don’t understand “healthy targets”

@LCHFinCanada FYI, Veganism is not a diet per say. To fail at such a simple task, is not something I would openly brag about. “A Vegan eating pattern is a healthy option, even if you have diabetes. Research supports that following this type of diet can help prevent and manage diabetes”. The American Diabetes Association-web site.

@gurumagoo – The only fact is that your unhealthy lifestyle has caused your diabetes and now you’re trying to keep under control by keeping your unhealthy lifestyle. If you’re too lazy to adopt a vegan diet, then just keep popping pills and believe everything your “doctor” tells you!

@truth2748 and what is this simple task you claim I failed at?

Research shows no such thing. All the research ALL OF IT shows low-carb diets are vastly superior to low-fat or vegan diets for glycemic control.

Show me ONE RCT that shows otherwise. ONE. I can link you to dozens that prove my case.

@truth2748 wikipedia what?

You need to spend some time looking at low-carb trials for glycemic control on pubmed before typing things that make you look stupid. Because right now, you look stupid.
