Pro Lisa, you are absolutely Incorrect, our Polynesian ancestors did not have diabetes & gout, they had the ultimate diet that they also grew and fished themselves. Unbelieveable deception.

Hmm..... Not sure if we can blame genetics to the same degree as poor food choices. Where I live, on the weekends especially, it saddens me how busy the fast food chains and chinese takeaways are. It's not a mystery to me why our diabetes rates are so high.

When it comes to food cut seed oils ( its industrial crap) and processed sugar, these 2 are the worst causes of diabetes. Keto, carnivore diets may sound bit extreme, but has worked for reversing type 2, you can also do low carb, switch to eating a protein breakfast, eggs are great, and its ok to eat them everyday. Society in general, eats too much, we need to eat like our ancestors, they werent snacking, every 5 mins. The food industry is making a killing of processing crap food, dont help them make money. Also, the pharmaceutical industry make money from meds, and peoples misery. a poor diet will kill you, but a healthy diet will heal you.

Agreed. It is great to see that this valuable community work is happening, so thumbs up to those involved. It is a shame that low carb, keto or carnivore lifestyles were not mentioned, nor Dr Glen Davies and all the success he and his team are having with reversing T2 diabetes for so many in this region (now helping lots of folk in Mangakino, I beleive).

“What we actually see is when we look at the past and incorporate the anthropological information Pacific people have always suffered from diabetes and gout. We see evidence of this in the archaelogical record in the skeletal remains of the ancestors. We see changes in the bony structures that indicate that these people were suffering from these diseases thousands of years ago and we see this across the Pacific. We see it in Guam, we see it in Vanuatu, we see it in Aotearoa. We see it in the skeletal remains of the earliest ancestors of people in Polynesia and in Micronesia.” Professor Lisa Matisoo-Smith
