Diabetic Health Clinic Newsletter – 23/6/13

Greetings,

 It is nice to sit down at the end of the weekend and write to you once again.  This week has been very interesting. In a way it has been frustrating.  I have been planning to put up some great new recipes and have ended up publishing breaking news.

 There is no doubt about the fact that type 2 diabetes is set to become the biggest health issue of our generation. The experts are hitting the alarm button.  We are hearing this more and more.  The silent killer, the diabetes epidemic and of course the obesity epidemic.  These are all tied together and they come under the umbrella of lifestyle diseases.  The whole situation is totally out of control.  People are at a loss as to what they should be doing, they are frustrated, disillusioned and confused. There is diet after fad diet, nothing seems to work!

 The answer to this problem is simple.  It comes back to what we need as a species to sustain ourselves.  The answer to that question is certainly not processed factory made foods.  There is a striking parallel when it comes to the increase and lifestyle diseases and the increase of the consumption of processed foods.  It can no longer be ignored.  Multiple studies show the data, the results of our modern day diet are in and they are not pretty.

 Breaking News

1. This week the American Medical Association officially recognised obesity as a complex disease.  We have now come to a point where the growing population has been branded as sick.  To read this interesting development follow this link.

 2. Diabetes Australia has proposed a strategy to combat type 2 diabetes which is set to become the largest health burden in Australia. It has stopped short of dealing with processed foods which are the the main cause of todays obesity epidemic and the type 2 diabetic explosion. Follow this link to read the full story.
