olive oil is a suspect, it is extremely high in salicylates. It may be good
for Greeks, it doesnt mean its good for you.

hyperinsulinemia is the production of high insulin to deal with the excess
[for you] amount of carbs being consumed. Type 2 diabetes is when the
pancreas starts falling short in the required insulin output so blood sugar
rises. if your pancrease is strong enough then you will get heart disease
and kidney failure instead from the high insulin levels.

not doomed, you just have to eat protein and fat instead and cut down
drastically on all carbs. Forget about having baked potatoes, carrots, and
peas.
