Carl Franklin and Richard Morris research the elusive cholesterol. Is it bad? Good? Why so much bickering? The results may surprise you. Also, Carl got his blood work results after 2 months on the ketogenic diet. There's great news. As far as potentially bad news, that's what was discussed. You guessed it. Cholesterol.

Errata:
Richard referred to the units for fasting insulin being pico IU, but the correct unit is “microunits per milliliter” (mcU/ml or mIU/ml). Richard also mentioned that the Norwegian Hunt 2 study followed 5,000 individuals for 10 years, but it was actually 50,000 individuals for 10 years.

Note: Converting Cholesterol divide mg/dl by 38.67

Note: Converting Triglycerides divide mg/dl by 88.57

Carl and Richard discuss Type 2 Diabetes. How does one get it? Is it reversible? How does it differ from Type 1 Diabetes? How does the medical establishment tell you to manage it? What does the standard recommended diet for Type 2 diabetics look like? These are all questions Carl and Richard tackle on this week's 2 Keto Dudes.

Errata:
Richard said that a study showed that people with an HbA1c under 8.5 might still be able to see a reversal with an intervention that lowered serum triglycerides - the study was "Very-Low-Calorie Diet and 6 Months of Weight Stability in Type 2 Diabetes: Pathophysiologic Changes in Responders and Nonresponders" and the non-responder group (no reversal of pancreatic burnout) had an HbA1c of 8.4% ± 0.3, the responders (reversal of pancreatic burnout) had an HbA1c of 7.1% ± 0.3 - so if glucose control turns out to be the discriminator the cut off may be between 7.4% and 8.1%.

This week Richard Morris and Carl Franklin talk about sweeteners other than table sugar, the good and the bad. 

Errata:
Carl mistakenly said that he had an insulin response to the Truvia brand sweetener (Erythritol + Stevia), but in fact it was the Fructevia brand, which combines fructose with Stevia.
