so what happened in this study is that they basically gave people a very high carb extremely low fat diet and I was thinking about this and we were we were thinking about it offline and thinking that we know that when humans eat polyunsaturated fatty acids and the main one that we worry about is linoleic acid and Seed oils that these accumulate in our cell membranes so the hypothesis here that we were sort of thinking about is if you give people a very low fat diet and that diet is exclusively basically glucose and some fructose because white sugar is sucrose so it's glucose and fructose and this diet was predominantly white rice and white sugar that's almost essentially what it was and so you're giving them a very very low fat diet is it possible that the reason this is effective at essentially curing diabetes because as I mentioned earlier when people stopped this extreme diet and there was some controversy around this diet like the Doctor Who was doing the diet may have had some questionable ethical practices to get people to adhere to this type of a diet but the science of it is is what's interesting I'm not condoning his his actions apparently he might have whipped people to keep him on this white rice and sugar diet but but what's that maybe he cured them I mean that's we're not condoning that but the science is interesting that like the the idea is that if you give people this super high carbohydrate diet and there have no no fats does that could that possibly accelerate the turnover of cell membranes and and accelerate the the removal it's just a hypothesis of these excess polyunsaturated fatty acids any people's diet
