  • We tend to think of Type 2 diabetes as a scourge caused by the fatty diets and sedentary lifestyles of modern Western countries. But scientists are now realizing that's less than half the story.

    The biggest takeaway from this video is that body fat percentage, not BMI, is the real concern.

      bmi is body mass index and they specifically said you can't just take simple math and call it fact. They have other ways of measuring fats and it showed that these seemingly "skinny" people were composed of a lot of fat. So body fat percentage IS a concern. You watched the first 2 minutes and concluded the video.

      Yes, that's what my original comment was meant to highlight. That Indian doctor had a BMI of 23, but was 34% body fat. That's an extreme example, but generally, Indians carry more proportional body fat for a given body weight.

    As a woman of South Asian descent, Ive learned so much from this. My grandmother is diabetic; my mother is also diabetic, my aunt has high blood sugar; my other aunt is also insulin resistant. So naturally, i inherited the awful genes which triggered my insulin resistance. I was Pre diabetic and pre obese in late 2018. Thats when i hit rock bottom in my life. I didnt make a significant change to my eating habbits until middle of 2019. Since then, I have lose 30 lbs with intermittent fasting. ( fast 20-22 hours and eat for 2-4 hours). This helped to reverse my insulin resistance as constant feeding was not spiking my insulin. I am back to normal weight and blood glucose levels.

    Wow, this is really interesting.
    I was a pretty lightweight baby too (slight over 2.5 kg) and my mother was probably malnourished (she had nothing to eat and didn't gain any weight throughout her pregnancy, stayed at around 40 kg). My parents tried to make up ensure I had good nutrition after I was born, but after puberty I was diagnosed with PCOS, and my fasting glucose tests placed me in the pre-diabetic range. My doctor has also told me, anecdotally, that she has noticed most of her patients with PCOS are from China, like me. I wouldn't be surprised if it's related to the prenatal nutrient deficiencies that they talked about in this video.

After my son died I was unable to get pregnant even after surgery and fertility treatments. My eldest niece has and was unable to have children. One of her sisters has it but was diagnosed at 14 and had surgery and was closely monitored and I’m happy to say she has 3 children.

      Replace white rice with brown rice, eliminate sugar, exercise hard if you don't already and you'll be a different person. You're slim. You can make the transition far more easily. In China white rice is the problem (and processed foods). In western nations its usually white bread and pasta. Its hilarious that the people in this ridiculous video are surprised they are diabetic. They're hugely overweight, largely inactive and eat garbage. A 3 year old could diagnose them from a block away. When are people going to realize its our own fork that determines our life span? If you cannot sprint fast you are out of shape. So get in shape. Obese people need to use aquatic exercises because its easy on the joints or you can job in place for short periods with your hand on rails to support your weight. Then fast walking, slow jogging allowing adequate recovery periods (1-2 days for most). And just keep at it. Exercise BEFORE eating your first meal. Makes a world of difference.

      Stop snacking and only eat three meals a day. Everytime you eat or drink liquids with calories, you are raising your insulin levels because glucose goes up. Insulin resistance is the cause, elevated glucose is a symptom of the problem. Like Robert Lusig says "protect the liver, feed the gut" don't buy carbohydrate foods in a box or bag!

      Same here from Bolivia. The orphanage I was at thought I was overweight as a baby but my Americans mom thought I was too skinny. I was by no means starving but definitely could use a few pounds. I had terrible growing pains as soon as I came to the us and had to go on pediasure to help catch up to the other kids. I was also lactose intolerant which I didn’t find out till later in life. When I hit puberty I had extremely heavy periods and they were REGULAR even at 10. I was later diagnosed at 20 with endometriosis after my period pains became unbearable with over the counter medication and sent me to the emergency room thinking I had burst an appendix or something. I did some research and apparently the elevation I was born at caused some genetic abnormalities in the population that lived there in the Alti Plano. It’s extremely high altitude. I’m only 5’2” as an adult and that’s considered taller for my nationality the shortness is due to higher atmospheric pressure and less nutrients. In peoples living in places of high altitude there is a predisposition to pre diabetes due to the body wanting more sugar in the blood to bind with the hemoglobin to carry more oxygen through the blood stream. Weird how the body adapts to certain things

    Industrial seed oils, high PUFA diet, etc also play a role. There are cultures with low incidence of diabetes who range from very low carb, to very high carb intake. The unifying factor appears to be the introduction of high PUFA intake, which in turn leads to greater insulin resistance, metabolic derangement, & carb intolerance.

    • @TehKaiser
      @TehKaiser Před rokem

      Being poor or in famine induces times of fasting and hard labor, which counterbalances the tendency for diabetes. The appetite developed for a rice and flour centric Asian diet will cause diabetes in times of plenty as insulin inhibits fat metabolism 3 times a day or more for two hour periods, and the need to labor decreases.

    It is important to eat a balanced meal. Consume carbs that have a low glycemic index or mix high glycemic foods with meats, chicken, fish, non-carb vegetables. It is how fast the spike in blood sugar that matters. One serving of white rice affects the upside to 10%.

It appears that a high carbohydrate/sugar diet can make an individual insulin resistant at some point. There are still other factors that makes other groups diabetic in other parts of the world.

    You see? We think of Indians as eating healthy because so many of vegetarian or vegan. Trust me don't go vegetarian or vegan to lose weight it's just as easy to gain weight as it is to lose it. There is a lot of vegan junk food out there even eating too much fresh fruit is a bad thing too much of anything is a bad thing. I will say as I have said before the country is allowing this junk food in and the people are buying it when they don't have to! I gave up all of that processed food for the most part when I went vegan. I didn't go vegan to lose weight I went vegan for the right reasons but even before that I hadn't had anything fried or fast food in years and the last time I had fast food was two years ago I went to Wendy's and got a Blackberry lemonade because I was going to be 45 minutes on the road. People don't have to purchase the junk food I would rather have high quality food and less of it than junk food and more of it! People need to take responsibility and stop with the junk food! Yes it can be like an addiction but so is smoking and I quit smoking after 40 years I had my first cigarette at 8 years old and was a regular smoker by 12 years old. I moved where I live now and I quit overnight I couldn't smoke in here so I ordered Vape system which I have long since graduated from but I have not had a cigarette in nearly 4 years and I have cigarettes in the laundry room which are probably horribly stale. But what it shows is that I can live with cigarettes in the house and not open a pack and smoke it Outdoors. If I am extremely nervous or having anxiety I will pick up my vape and a cup of coffee and I don't think I will ever go back to cigarettes so it can be done and if you have children don't let them start! Don't make food a fun family thing on the weekend because you go to KFC and Taco Bell! Have game night or movie night make popcorn don't go out to the fast-food because there's nothing else to do. And don't bring it into your home. Indians used to bake and still do quite a bit at home and it's much healthier than buying pastries and candy bars in the shops.

    Combining insulin resistance with increased sugar and processed sugar intake has caused an epidemic. Sugar per se isn't bad, but some people are born without a good ability to produce insulin. Therefore they become pre diabetic or diabetic. Recent changes in the food industry are just bringing to light these health conditions that people already had.
    This documentary brings to light two problems. Malnutrition of a pregnant woman and diabetes, then it goes on to explain how the two may or may not be correlated.

    Thank you Dr. Chittaranjan Yajnik and Dr. John Yudkin for your pioneering work. Thank you to the documentary film team for sharing this valuable knowledge with the masses. I am of South Asian ancestry, and my father was afflicted with this horrible disease of diabetes, and he passed away as a result of it. Now my mother has it as well. Not only is diabetes a horrible disease because it shortens ones life, it also severely diminishes the quality of life when you have developed it. So I really appreciate the new insight that you have provided because this issue is quite personal to me.
    The combined effect of low birth weights, B12 deficiencies in mothers, and abrupt generational change in food availability as a plausible explanation of why South Asians are so prone to diabetes is so interesting. It is far more illuminating than the common and dismissive rationale of simply ascribing the high rates of diabetes in this cohort to "its just genetics". One of the problems with rectifying the B12 deficiency in India is that the richest sources of bioavailable B12 comes from animal sources, and since a large portion of the Indian subcontinent is vegetarian for religious and cultural reasons, they probably are not getting enough of it. Even among the segment of the population that does eat meat, the portions they do eat are generally paltry. So you have most of the nation essentially denying their own future generations of the very substance that can help them ward off diabetes.

People won’t help even when we tell them outright and beg them to listen and help in the way we need help. Lots of them don’t want to give. They have paternalism and infantilize and decide they know best about our own body and situation and “fix” things in ways that make things worse! Everyone is such a genius on everyone else’s life and destroys it “for your own good.” Literally we are doing things that work and people intervene and stop us, then later when they create their own mess and problem they think they are going to fix us again and control and manipulate us to fix problems they created with their ego and selfishness and nastiness.
