With this background of medical indoctrination on the subject of obesity to which many doctors have succumbed since, with far surf music less excuse, William Harvey went to Paris in 1856 and attended the lectures of Claude Bernard (1813-1878), the great French physiologist. He heard Bernard expound his new theory that the liver made not only bile but also a peculiar substance related to surf music starches and sugars, to which the name glucose had been given. Relating this surf music new idea to the already well-known ones, "that a saccharine and farinaceous diet is used to fatten certain farm animals," and "that a purely animal diet greatly assists in checking the secretion of a diabetic urine," Harvey did some original and constructive thinking. This is how he put it: "That excessive obesity might be allied to diabetes as to its cause, although widely diverse in its development; and that if a purely animal diet were useful in the latter disease, a combination of animal food with such vegetable diet as contained neither sugar nor starch, might serve to arrest the undue formation of fat."
