Jeremiah Stamler was Ancel Keys' Right Hand Man in promoting Diet-Heart and Lipid Hypotheses @garytaubes @bigfatsurprise.

Stamler describes that T2DM increases risk for heart attack 4-fold, more than any other "risk" factor he describes. He also writes that the treatment of T2DM is insulin and a carbohydrate-restricted diet. So far so good (2).
So logically if T2DM causes CHD, and a restricted carb diet is the diet for those with T2DM, then logically a low carbohydrate diet should be prescribed for the prevention of heart attack/CHD.
That's what logic must dictate if we base our advice on logic (3).

But unfortunately that's where logic ended.Instead diet prescribed for prevention of CHD had to be one that lowered blood cholesterol concentration according to Lipid Hypothesis.
So guess what?
That was high-carb low-fat diet that worsens T2DM.
Corn Products Co won. We lost (4)
