Studies to accompany Ivor Cummins claims

#1

Hi there,

I’m trying to find the studies that Ivor Cummins refers to in some of his talks.
Like a study that was done by which they injected glucose into the arteries of people and found that people who were insulin sensitive could sustain a much bigger load of glucose then the ones who were insulin resistant.
Or the study in which they found over a longer period of time that people older then 60 had a much higher death rate if they had insulin resistance.

Any help to find studies that can back up Cummins words would be appreciated.
Or for that matter, any studies that directly show that a low carb, high fat diet is healthy.

“…If dietary saturated fat intake has little to do with saturated levels in our blood, then what does? There is, in fact, sound evidence that dietary carbohydrate is a major determinant of serum saturated fat levels. We know this because two respected research groups [16,17]fed humans carefully measured, weight-maintaining diets either high in carbohydrate or moderate in carbohydrate. In both studies, blood levels of saturated fats went up dramatically on the high carb diets, even though they were very low in fat. We [18] performed a weight loss study during which we fed diets varying from 32 up to 84 grams of saturated fat per day, with “healthy carbohydrate” making up the energy difference when dietary fat was reduced. In blood triglycerides and cholesteryl esters, saturated fat levels trended upwards when the high carbohydrate, very low fat diet was consumed, despite the diet being energy restricted, causing ongoing body fat loss. …” …More

Here are some (Ivor Cummin’s) leads:

Thanks a lot atomicspacebunny.

I will be studying these today. (y)

Which is from here:

If you want to find these yourself, choose search terms and enter them into a search engine (I use DuckDuckGo since Google is evil). To find these, I used the search terms “low carb studies”.

The beef industry feeds cattle a soy/grain feed mix to fatten them up prior to butchering for a good reason. It works. Humans aren’t ruminants, of course, but we do just as good a job of metabolizing a soy/grain feed mix as cattle. With similar results.
