I appreciate the suggestion. I was looking for the book but so far I have only found reviews from people who are not doctors and an interview that was conducted with Nina related to the book and where as far as I was reading the research was done from personal experience and she looked for reports from scientists and people authorized on the subject and they showed fear of talking about the subject of saturated fats and their lack of relation to health damage.
If you would be so kind as to share with me the link to X where it is, I would appreciate it. So that I can read and investigate what is written there.
For us, established science is associated with multicenter studies, with certain requirements and I am not saying that an important part of these studies are not manipulated, but they are reviewed and the inconsistencies are seen. It would be very interesting to be able to read Nina's book. Thanks again.
Unfortunately I'm not that good at searching Twitter, and didn't find the particular tweet I was thinking of. Her twitter handle is @BigFatSurprise. She also has a substack - https://unsettledscience.substack.com/.
If you can't get a copy of her book in Cuba, you could download it here - https://annas-archive.org/search?q=the+big+fat+surprise

Thank you very much. I have downloaded the book through the link. I will read it now and then we will discuss what I find.

No problem, looking forward to discussing it. I wrote a post on the book:
This book is blowing my mind - The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholtz
Also, if you're a doctor in Cuba, you're probably going to have some really fascinating stories to tell about the medical system there, how money works, etc, all kinds of interesting topics. I bet if you wrote a post along those lines, lots of people would be really interested.
Just an idea, but maybe a series like "Stories from a Cuban Doctor"...

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll get to work on it. Whenever I've been suggested something on the platform, I put it into practice and it turns out well. So this time will be no different. I'm indebted to you, always encouraging creativity.

I found the section I was looking for on the 3 ways to overcome diabetes, I thought it was on X/Twitter but it's here:
https://unsettledscience.substack.com/p/how-the-next-president-can-reverse
Currently, there are three “evidence-based” approaches for reversing type 2 diabetes (type 1 is not known to be reversible). These approaches are: 1. bariatric surgery, 2. a very low-calorie diet with most meals taken as patented, liquid formula shakes, and 3. a very low-carbohydrate diet.
When I say “evidence-based,” I mean an approach that is supported by multiple controlled clinical trials, i.e., the only kind of evidence that can reliably establish a cause-and-effect relationship and ensure that the benefits outweigh the harms. This is not my standard but that of every internationally recognized methodology for evaluating scientific studies. (These include AHRQ, GRADE, Cochrane, and one by the Institute of Medicine.)2 Nearly all of our public health institutions subscribe to one of these methodologies, at least in a pro forma way.
