https://peertube.wtf/videos/watch/baf15c10-5a3f-47be-9140-a32dc8f6e7e7 Wilhelm Ebstein was a German doctor born in 1836, and most people only know his name from a rare heart defect called Ebstein's anomaly. What he wrote about food is the part I find really interesting. In 1882 he published a book on obesity and how to treat it, and his advice was to cut back on bread, potatoes and sugar and eat more fat with moderate protein. A couple of years later he used that same low-carb, high-fat approach for people dealing with gout. He didn't know anything about ketosis or insulin resistance back then. He just paid attention to what happened to his patients when the carbs came down, and modern research keeps landing in the same spot. It makes you wonder why it took us so long to come back around to it. Have you ever cut carbs for gout or joint pain? I'd love to hear how it went. Let's get healthy together. Science, not medical advice.
