Visceral fat = "wheat belly"

I would love to see the studies that show that visceral fat is
specific
to wheat, as opposed to other causes, including refined carbs from
sources other than wheat.

Read the book.

Or keep eating all those pancakes, etc.

I couldn't care less.

As for insulin resistance being correlated with pre-diabetes and
diabetes, wow, this is news?

It's a reminder for interested parties. Take your complaints to

And whatever you do, don't test your BG levels until after your doctor
tells you that you already have diabetes.

And never, ever check your cholesterol, and what effect wheat has on
LDL particle size and number.

That way, you'll eventually (if you survive that long) get to take
even more drugs, and we know how you love your drugs, EH?

Moron.

Nota bene: How you ever ended up on a low-carb newsgroup is still a
mystery to me. Wouldn't you feel more at home over at
alt.support.diet.rx or alt.drugs?
