Episode 356: Diane Goes Against The Grain Today, Jimmy chats with

Diane , author of " Going Against the Grain: How Reducing and

Avoiding Grains Can Revitalize Your Health. " While we expect that people who

listen to this podcast show is already at least partly familiar with the

arguments against carbs derived from grains, has some rather eye-opening

statistics to share that might just surprise you. For example, did you know that

besides Celiac Disease, there are over 200 different medical conditions caused

by gluten sensitivity? Listen in for more about this and many more interesting

facts, including the report that chromium piccolinate is a useful and effective

treatment for diabetes

In Episode 264, it is my sincere privilege and honor to bring to you a very

special one-hour interview with somebody I rank right up there as a personal

nutritional hero along with the late, great Dr. C. Atkins. He is 75-year

old living legend Dr. Bernstein, author of the recently revised and

updated bestselling low-carb diabetes book The Diabetes Solution: The Complete

Guide to Achieving Normal Blood Sugars. If you are unfamiliar with this amazing

man in the world of low-carb and diabetes, then you owe it to yourself to listen

to everything Dr. Bernstein has to share.

In my interview, you'll hear Dr. Bernstein's discuss his personal story of

dealing with Type 1 diabetes for nearly six decades, how his engineering

background helped him come across self-monitoring for effective blood sugar

control, the politics that dominate diabetes care, the research he has conducted

on this disease, why he decided to pursue a medical degree at the age of 45, why

his books were banned from being advertised to patients in the ADA publications,

why he describes the obese and diabetics as " orphans, " the impact President

Obama's Supreme Court justice nominee Sotomayor who has Type 1 diabetes

could have on diabetes care, why the ADA seems to want to keep diabetics sick,

why he believes the work he has done on behalf of diabetes is only " tiny, " how a

top entertainer with diabetes could put low-carb diets on the map, his classic

face-to-face dLife debate with the ADA's top dietitian Hope Warshaw, the reasons

people come to see him, why hypothyroidism and immune deficiency disorders are

so prevalent in diabetics, the reason Metformin is the #1 medication he

prescribes for diabetics or prediabetics when low-carb diet alone is

ineffective, the fallacy of consuming fiber for diabetics, the lack of evidence

against saturated fat consumption impacting blood sugar and insulin, his " star

athlete " lipid panel because of his low-carb lifestyle, why taking a statin drug

is detrimental to health, and the lasting impact of the work he has done. This

will be a podcast for the ages and I hope you carve out the time to listen to

this one sometime this week because it is probably one of the best of 2009!

You might also listen to the Lierre podcasts I posted a few minutes ago

-- she also discusses the health problems caused by grains.

Hope this helps,
