Dr. Chris Knobbe is an ophthalmologist and Associate Clinical Professor Emeritus, formerly of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, in Dallas, Texas. He is also the founder and president of Cure AMD Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the prevention of vision loss from age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Dr. Knobbe has a deep interest in general nutrition, particularly as it relates to chronic degenerative disease, though his primary area of expertise is with the disorder AMD. AMD is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss and blindness in people over the age of 65, currently affecting approximately 196 million people worldwide.

Dr. Knobbe’s research efforts and revolutionary hypothesis for the nutritional basis of AMD have resulted in a published scientific paper, a book – Ancestral Dietary Strategy to Prevent and Treat Macular Degeneration – a website, CureAMD.org, and a second book currently in the making. Knobbe’s current research focuses substantially on omega-6 seed oil consumption as a major unifying driver of the chronic degenerative diseases of civilization, including AMD.

    Technically sugar use may be dropping but we all know that starches and other processed carbohydrates turn in to glucose in your body.

    Well done dr. Knobbe. And good for you to have dropped the hair color...

    ...It all began when Dr. Knobbe started getting gray hair at the tender age of 14 years old. This was the beginning of his inquiry into asking, “Was this happening because of a genetic predisposition, or was it something else that he was doing to cause his hair to turn white at such a young age?” When Chris turned 19, he grew tired of people mentioning he had so many gray hairs for such a young man. So, coloring his hair stopped the comments. As the years passed, he then found himself dealing with severe arthritis at the age of 33. As a Christian, he knew that God didn’t make mistakes. There must be something that he was doing incorrectly to cause these ‘age-related’ occurrences from happening to him. This brought him to realize that he needed to research how diet influences chronic diseases. He used himself as the guinea pig to change his diet and lifestyle over to an Ancestrally based existence and found his arthritis mostly disappeared within a few days of removing refined grains, seed oils, and processed food.... After 41 years of ongoing hair-coloring appointments, Dr. Knobbe decided when he turned 61 this past December, it was time to live as God designed him to be…allowing his true color to be exposed and perhaps to inspire others to not worry about what other people think, or what social media deems as being a sign of youth and vitality.

    I’ve heard a lot of theories of what causes modern diseases and how to stay healthy. One more unbelievable then the other. but this one I think, really make sense.

    The Canadian food guide for decades said drink milk and eat wheat. Both products in great supply in Canada. When they changed the food guide recently the Propaganda Media had to report it but did so gently. I haven't looked at the new guide. I just found out about the evils of seed oils last year. I follow Dr Fung and Gary Haubes.

    Does the category sugar also take into account the more prevalent form of HFCS? Robert Lustig attributes the fatty liver pandemic due to heavy consumption of beverages sweetened with HFCS.
  • @iancormie9916
    Do deceasing sugar volumes include the in rease if fructose consumption.

    Sadly in the U.S. we have to put together correlation after correlation, give talks about it, before "science" will conduct the studies that will prove those correlation. Happens all the time.

    In my experience he is correct on vegetable/seed oils. I never eat the dangerous oils and avoid completely any product that has them on their label. I have managed to keep my weight in the 160-165# range over the past 4.5 years - since I started keto. However, when I indulge in some rye bread or baked potatoes I begin to creep up to 170# and don't lose it until I stop eating these heavy carbs.

    Definitely a different hypothesis on diabetes. Would love to see a debate with this fellow and dr Lustig or dr Bickman. Latter two clearly acknowledge Omega 6 inflammatory response with seed oils and contribution to metabolic disease but if I have heard them correctly their stressing eating too much refined carbs too often as main contributor to type 2 diabetes explosion.
