9. "Doc said he has never seen anything like it before."

Feb 2015

When Mr. Dixie dropped his levels to 170, by eating oatmeal a few times a week, his doc had the same stunned reaction, which he then glossed over.
I was furious at first by that reaction, until I reluctantly had to realize that the average doc has ZERO nutrition info. and was brainwashed by the same upside down food pyramid we were.
fortunately that doc has now retired.

GOOD fats are not the enemy. "White" carbs are.
