I didn’t say it was a rule or commandment. The point is that natural food ingredients > processed, mystery ingredients for health (as a general rule, not always).

Also, an extreme low carb diet is not necessary to avoid diabetes, for most people.

Except that completely leaves me out. I'm not talking about commandments either. I'm talking about being born with diabetes. What may be good for most doesn't hold water for all. How do you think statements that essentially say eating natural is the only way to go make people who can't eat the natural thing feel? Good for most people, but I hate statements like this. Been hearing them my whole life. Must be nice.

I'm sorry to hear that. I recognize that any general statements meant for a "majority" audience can appear to be insensitive to those outside that "majority". That was not my intention and I regret that it appeared to be so.
