Coming up on this week's episode of a Doctor's Pharmacy.

I thought this study would come out as front page of the New York Times, Cover Time magazine,

greatest breakthrough in science in a hundred years.

Hi, I'm Kaya Paroet, another producers of the Doctor's Pharmacy.

Last year, Dr. Hyman sat down with Dr. Sarah Hallberg to discuss the groundbreaking results

of a study she published examining the impacts of a low-carb, high-fat diet on type 2 diabetes,

and why it was largely ignored by the media and the medical community.

Before diving into that episode, let's listen in on a conversation between Dr. Hyman and author Nina Ticholes

about this study and about food politics.

One of our colleagues, Sarah Hallberg, just published a paper on diabetes.

Now, this is a condition that in medical school, I learned once you had it, you got it.

There's no reversing type 2 diabetes, type 1 for sure not, but that's not, that's an autoimmune disease.

Type 2 is really a disease of carbohydrate intolerance.

And in this study, which was remarkable, showed by using a very high-fat diet with lots of saturated fat,

you literally could reverse 60% of type 2 diabetes in a year.

You can get 100% of people off the main diabetes medication, which potentially is harmful,

and there's been linked to heart attacks.

And you can get people off insulin or dramatically lower insulin and 94% of the people.

That is unprecedented.

And the average weight loss was 12%, which is unheard of in dietary studies or about 30 pounds.

This is radical.

And yet, it's not mainstream.
