Thanks for this idea, I will check it out.

I am very familiar with Barker; I have been following his studies

for the past 4-5 years. He has made some great strides in this area

of the relationship between SGA and insulin resistance. I agree

with the above and it fits well into what is discussed in Life

Without Bread. Barker is one of the reasons why when I attended Dr.

Cowan's seminar a couple years ago where Cowan's

approach to treating insulin resistance began to make so much sense

to me. This then lead to my doctor telling me about Life Without

Bread.

It is my belief that if Barkers group studied the pregnant

mother's diets he will find they are high in carbohydrates and

trans fatty acids.

I don't know if I fully agree with this and will explain later.

That's great you where able to get him to come all the way from

Paris. While I do not doubt that TV, Playstations and Nintendos are

contributing factors I firmly believe however that they are

insignificant relative to the poor over-processed and high

carbohydrate diet that has been in place over the past 30+ years.

Look at the Eskimos, before the whites mans diet that is high in

carbohydrates was introduced to their isolated society they had

virtually no disease. Now insulin resistance is rampant and yes

they are not as active as their forefathers once were but they still

exercise a fair amount and get outdoors.
