Now why would I want you to know where not to find the truth? Because they have the most money, clout, and governmental support with total disregard that their information is not saving anyone.
According to the CDC diabetes now affects 1 in 10 Americans. If you figure in those who are in a pre-diabetic state and those who have yet to be diagnosed, it’s closer to 1 in 4. (Thanks Dr. Mercola for that stat.)
The 3 mainstream “disease prevention” groups with very loud voices on the subject, The American Dietetics Association, The American Diabetes Association and the American Heart Association have for 50 years been promoting a high complex carb/low fat (and super low saturated fat) diet. Clearly this is not working as the rates of this lifestyle disease continue to climb. In that same 50 years diabetes has risen 700%! Again from the CDC, if we continue at this rate, by 2050 1 in 4 of us will be diabetic.
Most people consider diabetes a sugar disease when, according to many leading docs, it’s really a disease of insulin and leptin resistance. Dr. Mercola, on his blog dated November 12, 2010, reported, “Type 2 diabetes is a disease caused by insulin resistance and faulty leptin signaling, both of which are regulated through your diet. Every diabetic needs to understand that the number one way to avoid and control this disease is to severely restrict or eliminate sugars (particularly fructose) and starchy carbs like breads and cereals – more or less the complete opposite of conventional recommendations.”
Most of what you hear about insulin’s role in response to blood sugar surges is that it is released to lower blood sugar circulating in the blood. Ever wonder how it does that? It’s main role is energy storage. Insulin grabs the excess circulating blood sugar, stores some of it as glycogen in the muscles and the majority gets stored as fat for later use when energy is needed.
Again from Dr. Mercola, “Insulin lowers your blood sugar as a side effect of directing the extra energy into storage.” Ever wonder why people gain weight who are taking insulin? Now you have a better idea.
That the major organizations most of America looks to for sound information that can save their lives are actually in the business of selling drugs and keeping people in the medical complex is beyond criminal. I’m all for pharmaceuticals when necessary such as with a raging infection or pain relief after surgery or with a bone break. That drugs are handed out as the panacea for everything and coupled with information that is clearly behind the times in terms of what science knows now vs 50 years ago needs to be outed to prevent more people from getting even sicker.
Look there are countless books on the market from respectable docs on how to reverse diabetes and all of the complications without meds and for life. Look up Dr. Julian Whitaker’s Reversing Diabetes, check out Dr. Mercola’s 8000 or so posts on the subject. Google it. Then, if you reading this are suffering from diabetes or have been diagnosed as pre-diabetic, grab your sneakers, trainers, Keds, or other active footware and get moving.
Exercise is the single most important place to start for managing blood and insulin levels. It’s easy, free, and can be done anywhere if you power walk.
Thanksgiving is coming and exercise is critical to staying healthy and out of my weight loss bootcamps! Though I’d love to have you if you need help getting that weight thing handled.
