If this is a valid concern, specifically what can we do to mitigate the long term effects without including starchy carbohydrates routinely or including carbohydrate re-feeds?</p></div>jenludlowtag:drrosedale.tenderapp.com,2010-09-16:Comment/423409022017-04-11T17:24:57Z2017-04-11T17:24:57ZMucin deficiency?<div><p>Hi Jen,</p>
<p>There would be <strong>no glucose deficiency</strong> due to following Dr. Rosedale's Diet ..</p>
<p><strong>Gluconeogenesis</strong></p>
<p>Gluconeogenesis is the conversion of non-carbohydrate sources (<strong>pyrovate, amino acids <em>from protein</em>, and glycerol from fat)</strong> <code>to glucose.</code></p>
<ul>
<li>Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic process in the human body that results in the making of glucose / sugar from non-carbohydrates, such as protein and fat.</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<ul>
<li>Using the Rosedale Diet just shy of 5 years now, no problems on my end.</li>
</ul>
