Africa's metabolic crisis is silent and we're not looking. I am. | Building @K2RMetabolic to catch what African healthcare is missing | Kampala 🇺🇬

1797: Dr. John Rollo, British Army surgeon, publishes "Cases of Diabetes Mellitus."

His treatment protocol for diabetes: Eliminate all plant foods. Eat only meat and fat. What we now call ketogenic diet.

The results: Patients' sugar in urine disappears.

Symptoms vanish. "Incurable" diabetes reversed.

This wasn't alternative medicine. This was THE standard medical treatment for diabetes.

1850s: French physician Apollinaire Bouchardat refines the approach. His prescription for diabetic patients:

"Eat meat, avoid bread and sugar."

Success rate: Extraordinary. Patients maintain normal blood sugar for years. Some completely reverse their condition.

This was taught in medical schools across Europe and America.

1920s: Insulin is discovered.

Pharmaceutical companies see the opportunity: A patentable treatment for diabetes that patients need forever.

Within 20 years, the dietary approach is quietly shelved. Not because it didn't work. Because it worked too well and couldn't be patented.

1960s-present: Diabetics are told to eat carbohydrates and manage the resulting blood sugar spikes with medication.

The treatment that actually reversed the disease? Memory-holed.

For 120 years, ketogenic diets were the standard medical treatment for diabetes and obesity. Then we discovered we could sell insulin instead.

Your great-great-grandfather's doctor knew how to cure diabetes with diet. Your doctor knows how to manage it with pharmaceuticals.

One of these approaches makes money. The other one worked.

The cruelest thing about metabolic disease: you feel fine until you don't. No warnings. No symptoms. Just a heart attack at 52 with "perfect" cholesterol.

We need to unlearn what we thought we knew. Not one more person should die from diabetes. https://t.co/R0TuZEgR86

Shocking fact:

Currently, some infant formulas contain >60g of sugar….literally TWICE a can of Coca Cola. Feeding a baby that much sugar sets them up for insulin resistance and gut issues for life. This stuff is abysmal.

We NEED clean and healthy alternatives.

As expensive as it is
to eat healthy food,

it is even more expensive
to have obesity, diabetes, heart disease,
cancer, or Alzheimer's disease.

I say the same thing everyday.

I have told you this before and I will continue talking about it until you make the right decision.

Flee from bread, noodles, wheat, overnight oats, and soy.

They are not good for you.

There are other foods you can eat and enjoy yourself with.

There is nothing like portion control in these.

There are no two ways about it.

Run away from them.

You will be fine without them.

If you like, don't listen.

Your health, your choice.

"Fat makes you fat? Lie. Keto proves carbs, not fat, pile on pounds - insulin's the real villain!"

[Sam Mpuga @SamMpuga]

"Type 2 diabetes? Ketoncuts blood sugar spikes. Studies show it can lower A1C. Start small: swap bread for avocado."

This.

The current view of metabolic heath, which is a glucose centric paradigm, all with the understanding of eat a lot of carbohydrates and eat them often, is a wonderful way to sell medications.

[Sam Mpuga @SamMpuga]

75% of U.S adults are overweight or obese. We have about the same stats in Africa. We need a drastic change in dietary behaviour.

[Sam Mpuga @SamMpuga]

97% of scientists agree with whoever is funding them.

[Sam Mpuga @SamMpuga]

43% of adults in the world are overweight. This new normal is killing us slowly.

[Sam Mpuga @SamMpuga]

Sugar is poison.

[Sam Mpuga @SamMpuga]

Between 2021 and 2045, the global expenditure on diabetes will grow from 966 billion U.S dollars to just over one trillion U.S dollars.
