From my reading I don’t think it is possible, but I’m open to learning how one can achieve a zero carbohydrate diet using only plant foods. @Resonosity@lemmy.dbzer0.com has graciously offered to look into the matter.
Motivation - Why zero carb matters:
- Carbohydrates end up in the blood stream as glucose
- blood glucose is a direct driver of insulin
- persistently elevated insulin is a serious health concern
- cancers can only metabolize glucose, and cannot perform oxidative phosphorylation - i.e. they only run on glucose, so carbohydrates feed cancers.
why chronic hyperinsulinemia is bad:
- type 2 diabetes
- high blood pressure
- atherosclerosis
- pcos
- visceral fat
- ectopic fat (i.e. snoring)
Functional differences between pbf and abf:
- plant sterols interfere with human cholesterol signaling, we are made of cholesterol, this leads to higher inflammation and lower ldl (that is actually a bad thing)
- lectins and inflammation - most pbf have lectins inside of them, these lectins bind to cells throughout the body which leads to autoimmune responses (from mild inflammation, to full anaphylactic shock)
nice to have’s on a zero carb diet:
- local food that doesn’t have to be shipped around the world
- regenerative agriculture, there is no top soil without ruminants
- farming without external inputs like industrial fertilizer
- food without pesticide residue
I agree that is the scientic method indeed.
Great, provide the evidence, make a post about it, and most importantly engage in the discussion.
Don’t cite shit you don’t care about.
Dr. Greger RUNS nutritionfacts.org the source you cited and hold in high esteem- https://nutritionfacts.org/ i.e. the experts you trust, yet don’t care about…
I don’t know if you are being sarcastic. I’m pointing out the consequences of the scientific method and philosophy of science which is that the consensus is least likely to be wrong.
Consensus itself is evidence.
That’s not how it works. If you want to say something against the scientific consensus the burden of proof falls on you. You should publish papers, get them peer peviewed and change the mind of the consensus. Oh wait you are not qualified for it. You’d rather discuss it on the internet and get offended when someone points out that you’re wrong.
Lol I know that Dr Greger owns nf. I just sent nf because he makes the risks of keto easy to understand for the general public like you.
I don’t care about his website or opinions. I think this is the 3rd time I’m repeating it. I care about the citations to papers on these websites which have the reasons. And they were strong enough to sway the consensus.
Whether you or I know these reasons or can “refute” them is irrelevant.
