I thought so too until I spent the last year or so studying it. We're working on a paper at present with some of the doyens in the field. Not sure where it will lead to. But think of this. In the person who is inactive, what is their maximum rate of 24 hour carbohydrate oxidation? It's about 250 grams most of which is used by the brain. So if we are encouraging inactive humans to eat 400g of carbohydrate a day, what do they do with the excess 150g per day. Yes, on day one that can store some of the excess as muscle glycogen. But after a few days that store will be filled. Then what do they do? They must convert it the excess to fat in the process of de novo lipogenesis. And what does excessive de novo lipogenesis lead to over years or decades? Insulin resistance perhaps? @PhilipPrins11 @AKoutnik @BenBikmanPhD

@ProfTimNoakes Tim, respeto mucho tu trayectoria como investigador y me gustaría conocer tu visión sobre mi visión

¿No deberíamos atender al flujo energético global, la capacidad oxidativa y el almacenamiento de energía?

simplificarlo al "equilibrio diario de glucosa" me suena pobre

In the absence of dental services, how would these populations have survived into old age without developing dental abscesses leading to death from disseminated sepsis? But societies eating only animal products had perfect dentition. Check Weston Price.

@at_truthmatters @bliksemstraat @ProfTimNoakes One problem. The high starch diets ruin their teeth and dental health. Otherwise you are correct.

Fully deserved. She ran an extraordinary world record before the introduction of supershoes. One of the world's greatest female marathon runners of all time. @LoreofRunning1

Paula Radcliffe was awarded an OBE today at Windsor Castle.

The former marathon world record-holder was recognised for services to sport.

At the 2003 London Marathon, which she won three times, Radcliffe set a world record of 2:15:25 - a mark which lasted until 2019.

Her illustrious career also included world, European and Commonwealth medals across track, road and cross country.
