How do you measure quality?

I’m not a doctor and definitely not an expert. This is just based on my own research and experience.⚠️

So, the leading cause of death in Italy is Ischaemic heart disease. The risk factors include (not limited to) high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, which are typical after living a life with chronic insulin resistance. Insulin resistance mode is a consequence of eating a high carb diet.

Everyone (inc. italians) would likely live longer if they tuned down carbs a bit (and specially refined carbs).

Should you eat carbs? Absolutely.

Should you eat refined carbs? Only if nothing else is available 🤣

Should carbs be the bulk of your meals? Probably no.

With the rise of processed foods (on top of many other issues, like pesticides, polluted water, etc) around the world, heart disease has become the leading cause of death all over the West.

One can enjoy both meat AND pasta and not die.

Beef maxis just got triggered by my OP and assumed I meant “eat pasta at every meal, every day, it’s great!” lol

I’m not a beef maxi, nor triggered, nor did I say you meant what you quoted there. This is far from personal which is how you seem to construe it. 🤷‍♂️

I was just providing my own perspective but looks like you were just interest in shaming people who don’t eat carbs like you do so I’ll let you continue doing that.

🫡 Happy Friday

Nooo haha The second half of my comment wasn’t directed at you at all! It was a general statement!

This was very much a case of miscommunication via text 🙈

Heart surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia says that 50% of people with heart attack don't have high cholesterol. A recent LMHR study scientifically proves that high cholesterol doesn't cause plaque in LMHR people. (Might or might not apply to all people.)

So cholesterol is a useless predictor. However I do think the remaining risk factors you mentioned are valid.

"Should you eat carbs?" - there's plenty of people living without carbs just fine. So you don't have to eat carbs.

Is eating a bit of carbs every few months going to cause you long-term problems? If you're not a carb addict then most likely no. Where's the line? Noone knows, each person needs to figure it out for themselves. Just good to be aware of that there's no known health benefit from eating carbs.
