Dr Dhand’s video on diabetes
Synopsis of Rogers’ words:
Dhand videos get 1,000 to 100,000 more views on youtube than Peter Rogers. They disagree on nutrition. In Dhand’s video on diabetes he says it’s caused by eating too much carbohydrate = opposite of the truth.
Here’s Dr. Roger’s prediction: Dhand will hear about his video. Read the papers on diabetes. Make a new video about diabetes and nutrition that tells the truth. The video may get “shaadow baanned”.

The problem is in not specifying the difference between processed & unprocessed carbs. They seem to agree that processed carbs should be avoided, but Rogers emphasizes that FAT is part of this avoidance equation.
Carbohydrates are long chains of sugar molecules that are found in many foods, including:
- Starchy vegetables: White and sweet potatoes, peas, corn
- Legumes: Beans, lentils, chickpeas, lima beans, and kidney beans
- Whole grains: Brown rice, oatmeal, whole-wheat bread and pasta, quinoa, buckwheat, and barley
- Fruits: Apples, berries, and melons
- Non-starchy vegetables: Asparagus and zucchini
Carbohydrates are important because they:
- Provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber
- Slow down digestion and absorption, which helps you feel full longer and prevents blood sugar spikes
- Provide a lasting source of energy
- Can help lower LDL or “bad” cholesterol
- Are more nutritious than processed or refined sugars, which are often called “empty calories”
The healthiest complex carbohydrates are not processed or refined.
Note that seed & veggie OILS are prime examples of ultra-processed carbs. Avoiding them is very important.
Simple eating is best!
