More Diabetes thoughts

Just made an observation about diabetes that got me thinking. When I was religiously on the protein diet my sugars were nicely under control. But I had to give it up be cause I was crapping 10lb bricks and I'd rather not do that anymore.

I think the theory behind why it works is wrong. It's got to do with why most 3rd world countries don't have diabetes epidemics. They don't get our food. I'm starting to think the cause of diabetes is in the preservatives we add to our food. The meats I was eating on the protein diet don't have the same preservatives as all the rest. Might be something too that.

EDIT: 05-15-09 I was talking with Ben one of the Foreman at the shop I work at. And talked to him about the fact that he's lost about 50lbs or so in the last six months. He said he'd be dieting and all to get his diabetes under control but wasn't having any luck. He Told me that he finally quit sodas and coffee, bam he started slowly and surely dropping pounds and his blood sugars leveled out. Can't just be the caffeine though it's got the be some of the chemicals they put in it. When I was on the protein diet I only drink diet sodas and those had caffeine so that's not it as far as I'm concerned.
