Carbohydrates don't cause insulin resistance or diabetes

Which pretty much describes pigs.

Kangaroos apparently fit this description too.

That injunction is actually Muslim. The Jewish injunction is against all animals which do not have both cloven hooves and the property of rumination, and especially against animals which have only one of those properties (such as swine). Muslims only have an injunction against pork, which is waived in case of desperate need.

In any case, the real logic behind the prohibition seems to be that pigs are scavengers. (Hebrew theology of that period was very uncomfortable with things that crossed boundaries.) In the days before anyone knew how to check thoroughly for trichinosis, it was not a bad idea.

When I studied epidemiology and public health at university they fed us the idea that priests were the leadership, congregations were the public meetings and all types of information was dispensed using this ancient social media system. Part of that was population public health information. The rulers needed workers and soldiers to enrich themselves, so some degree of public health care was needed in city states to control disease outbreaks in the human herd. A main public health concern at the early civilisation time of writing old testaments and the Quran was trichinosis. The people observed human illness from eating pork (but you can also get it from eating horse or walrus).

The diseases associated with swine include ringworm, erysipelas, leptospirosis, streptococcosis, campylobacterosis, salmonellosis, cryptosporidiosis, giardiasis, balantidiasis, influenza and infection with pathogenic E. coli .

I believe this is accurate about Egypt…
But I also believe we can have MULTIPLE causes of Inflammation and Diabetes.
That destroying our Mitochondria with Seed oils, could simply speed up the damage by a High Carbage Diet.

Agree completely and I’d never consider ingesting seed oils.
