Not everyone in the U.S. eats this way. Notice when things started going wrong. This is when companies started injecting high fructose corn syrup into practically everything. It makes you hungrier than you would be if you ate regular table sugar. Appetites got out of control. This is why we need to go back to basics rather than continuing to consume highly processed foods. I’m so glad that my first 20 years of my life the foods I ate had sugar and not HFCS.

I don't get this 'definition'. If diabetes causes damage to cells through glycation from fructose and glucose and alcohols, and changing your diet flips insulin resistance to insulin sensitivity and allows for your cells to start healing again... is that not "reversal"? I've said it before and I'll say it again, but complete remission with T2D is entirely within the realm of possibility for most people without drugs or exercise or fasting. I'm not saying those things can't help in specific scenarios. It's known cause is the types of macronutrients in your diet over time, so the cure is simply adjusting those to a type that allows your body to use up what it has already stored. Once you do that, the ongoing damage stops. You may not be able to reverse all of the damage done to the organs or certain parts of the body, but our body was specifically created and designed to reverse the disease itself. There are many animals such as bears that induce insulin resistance in themselves, followed by hibernating to reverse it. Not to say that it doesn't damage their bodies, but Sumo wrestlers do something similar. Because of their extreme strength training regimen, much of their fat is stored subcutaneously rather than viscerally, meaning it does less damage to their organs and allows for easier reversal of their weight when they retire.

 

Not long back, a new documentary was released called The Cholesterol Code. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GS8ZFCYN/ It's focused on a study of Cholesterol and the phenotype of Lean Mass Hyper Responders (of which I am one), and ends up in how diet can reverse atherosclerosis (after being ketogenic with very high saturated fat/calorie diet for several years I have been tested to have 0 arterial plaque despite 'high' 'bad' cholesterol) - but among several other examples of reversing varying chronic physical/mental illnesses, it goes into the very first portable blood glucose monitor and how people used to treat T1D before insulin became available. It also shows a family following this diet for their child with Type 1 Diabetes recovering significantly after changes and ending up only needing a very minimal amount of insulin per day.

All of the answer I gave came from ChatGPT.  I am no expert, but what I got from ChatGPT seemed reasonable to me.

In the 1960's was also the time when fast food franchises started popping up everywhere.  In the 1950's eating at Dairy Queen was rare treat for many.  For me it might be once a week when I was walking to a ball game across town.  In the 1960's you would drive by a fast food joint constantly.
