@_oyveyanuddahshoah@DMA@sickburnbro A doc named Bill Davis hypothesized something similar in his book Wheatbelly. He actually grew some ancient wheat and it did raise blood sugar to a lesser degree but my problem with that is Dr. Mike Eades says the thing that caught his attention was that ancient Egyptian royalty pretty much all had heart issues and they ate hella wheat so...?
@_oyveyanuddahshoah@DMA@sickburnbro If you are mostly eating steak and eggs a bit of carbs on occasion isn't a big deal. Its only when you flip that the other way that problems crop up.
@sickburnbro@DMA@_oyveyanuddahshoah Oh yeah but its not like the European version of frosted sugar bombs with only three ingredients is anything like "healthy?"
@BattleDwarfGimli@djsumdog@cosmonautkatyusha@iamthejeeves@mangeurdenuage Can you give me an example of that? This is a subject ive studied intensively and i'm not aware of that. After White men were on the American continent some of the tribes were making maple syrup but it was a new thing.
I'm not disputing there was honey or that they ate it but if its in nature there is a hard limit how much they could be eating.
@JoshuaSlocum@BattleDwarfGimli@djsumdog@cosmonautkatyusha@iamthejeeves@mangeurdenuage An easy test to see if a civilization was eating more processed carbs than the human body can handle is do we find metabolic diseases among them? For example we do find them among the ancient Egyptians. Both mild obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart attacks were common especially among the upper crust.
@mangeurdenuage@djsumdog@cosmonautkatyusha@iamthejeeves I don't dispute the damages and dangers of seed oils however basically all of the "modern" diseases, obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart attack, cancer, pcos, dental caries, etc etc, can be laid at the feet of sugar.
I would argue that eating a proper diet (something that looks a lot like keto or carnivore) simply eliminates all of the modern diseases like obesity, type 2 diabetes, cancer, heart attacks, PCOS, dental caries, etc. etc.
But there are, for example, infectious diseases, that may very well require medicine or vaccines. I'm hella skeptical of "herbs?"
@placebo@John_Darksoul@sickburnbro I honestly don't know squat about that but i can say every time they suggested surgery I would go home, look up the stats, and go "how high is the mortality?" No thanks.
@John_Darksoul@sickburnbro So about twenty years ago i blew up to 500 lbs and nearly died. Every word that came out of a doctors mouth on this subject turned out to be hilariously wrong up to and including that I would have to surgery to remove the excess skin after i had lost 300 lbs doing low carb which the doctors didn't approve of. The skin went away on its own by the way.
So its hard for me and anyone else who's had an experience like this to not wonder about other things?
To recap: I grew up in a dead Church, so dead, could not have been more dead, so I was not kindly disposed to Church in general when i became a believer.
The problem was the Churches I went to didn't seem to look anything like the Churches we read about in Scripture. I've heard all the excuses and honestly i haven't found them terribly compelling.
To put it simply you could never recreate the modern Church using just Scripture. Just the idea of people all sitting in one direction while one individual talks at them would seem bizarre to first century Christians. I'd go so far as to say it's just not Christianity.
I've had Catholic and Ortho brethren tell me that only they know how to "do" the sacraments. Just for one example of this not being an accurate statement the Eucharist was not wine and crackers but an actual meal shared by the entire Christian Church. This is clearly stated when the Apostle Paul castigates a body for getting drunk and eating all the food. Has anyone ever snuck into the back of a Church and eaten all the crackers?
