    Type II Diabetes.

    People joke about it, but it degrades every aspect of your life. It’s ultimately fatal in a slow and most miserable way possible.

    eta: specified adult onset

      Okay, but T2 diabetes has clinically proven interventions for reversal. If you don’t want to stop eating animals, well, suffer, I guess.

          T2 diabetes has effectively been cured, but you don’t want to know about it, because vegans apparently. Great, nicely done, you sure owned those vegans. There should be fucking tickertape parades in the street because no one ever has to suffer from T2 diabetes again, but when the news came out, no one gave a single fuck. T2 is self inflicted, and to get rid of it, all you have to do is stop inflicting it on yourself and allow your body to heal. Every proven intervention requires the cessation of consumption of animal products. That’s just the facts. But can’t do that, it’s too vegan. What the fuck ever.

          Vegans don’t mention veganism nearly as often as carnists mention consuming animals. If your culture war is literally killing you and your loved ones, maybe you’re on the wrong fucking side.

        Funny you should mention it.

        T2D has a demonstrated 40% reversal rate in a 5 year study using just a ketogenic diet. Animal food optional, but it won’t hurt a ketogenic metabolism to eat animal foods.

        Though some T2D has been resolved with the rice diet in the 1950s, which suggests that a major source of insulin resistance (a key component of T2D) is inflammation from dysfunction in the randel cycle.

        TLDR: people who have T2D have a extreme form of carbohydrate intolerance, so they do much better if they don’t eat carbs
