So what exactly was the study that Professor Roy embarked on that led him to confirm this. Well, it is known as the Newcastle case or diet.In 2011 Roy Taylor and his research group at the University of Newcastle placed 11 individuals suffering from Type 2 diabetes and with a body index (weight corrected for height, the norm being 25kg/m2) of 33kg/m2 on an extreme 600 calorie liquid diet. This is supplemented by 3 portions of non-starchy vegetables a day which brings the total calorie intake to 800 calories per day for 8 weeks. Dramatically, less than a week thereafter, their blood sugar level fell from 9 to 6 mmol/l. Diabetes is said to be present when blood sugar is above 6.5mmol/l. and throughout the course of the study, it remained steady within the healthy blood sugar range.
