Diabetic Health Clinic Newsletter – 26/5/2014
Greetings,
This week we came across a short film clip by Mike Adams. Mike is known as the “Health Ranger”. He has appeared in many health related documentaries and is a powerful voice in the our global community when it comes to promoting health and in particular healthy eating. Mike decided to take some standard chicken McNuggets, a favourite for children and many adults, and put them under a microscope. What he discovers is absolutely disgusting. You can view this clip below in the new movie section of this email.
Our question after watching this horrific clip is which other foods have similar bits in them? These foods are made to look, smell and taste fantastic. The reality is that they are very highly processed. Not only do they contain a plethora of ingredients that are totally unwanted but virtually all processed foods are made from mono nutrients. These are ingredients that once started of as a part of a plant but have been processed with everything stripped away. Each mono nutrient affects our body in a negative way.
A prime example is HFC (High fructose corn syrup) which is used in almost all factory processed meats including chicken nuggets which have been shown to be one of the worst foods for diabetics. Who would have thought that chicken nuggets would have won that prize! For a diabetic HFCS is like rocket fuel.
So what is the message for this week. Why not simply eat what our grandparents used to call food? Just like the recipes below.
