(9,126 posts)I don't blame you, Omaha Steve, for it at all. But they take back in the second paragraph what the study actually proves.
A high fat diet protects and improves diabetes: all fat, most especially animal fat. It has been shown time and time again that diabetics can actually control their blood sugars by eliminating sugar and carbohydrate, which means this must be made up with fat. This diet gets most of its calories from fat, up to 70% which is impossible to do without high fat dairy (cream), butter, fish oils, organ meats and meat. The only safe forms of vegetable oil are not industrial, so olive oil, coconut, avocado and nut oils. The only oils that are heat stable for anything above a light saute are coconut, avocado, and macadamia (which is a little too sweet for most things).
So it's not just dairy, and in this case, I am sure the Austrian study was nothing like the dairy we have in the US. You can taste the difference immediately. They usually have A2 cows that are pastured and don't rely nearly as heavily on the high yield techniques here and from what I have read, far less antibiotics and hormones.
