Came here to say this. Some people actually believe that drugs are safe and free of side effects. Our medical system is great at short term interventions (ER room, infections, surgery). It is terrible for chronic illnesses. If you have T2D, continue to eat carbs is the advice you get. When that leads to a heart attack, we are great at open heart surgery.
When the T2D leads to kidney failure, continue eating carbs please. Kidney transplant will likely go well.
There's no money in wellness.
There can be --- we are dangling the carrot in the wrong place.
In the past, we ate plenty of carbs and didn't develop type 2 diabetes. "Give us this day our daily bread" indicates that bread has long been a staple. The food supply is screwed up and/or other things in our environment (some theories are: too much exposure to blue light or antibiotics destroying our healthy gut bacteria, etc.) is causing us to develop chronic illnesses from things that used to be nourishing.
If you believe the old testament, all humans began as vegetarians. God after sin occurred and His punishment (flood) allowed man to eat meat. I don't think this was done without a nutritional reason.
After the damage is done (type 2 diabetes for example) all carbs are potentially harmful. Some can eat carbs and be completely healthy, but free access to carbs is not something that should be recommended to the average American.
