Professor Charles Mackay believes that type 2 diabetes could be totally eliminated.
There is no doubt that diet has a profound effect on diabetes and according to other studies can actually be reversed when a person with the disease is compliant with a natural non processed food diet.
Professor Mackay is made the following statement:
“To me it is clear we could knock the incidence of type 2 diabetes to almost zero if we were to go back to a diet extremely high in fibre and very low in fat and sugar.
Whereas I was somewhat pessimistic two or three years ago, I think over the next five or 10 years we are going to see diabetes and obesity falling rather than rising as we understand how to change eating habits.
We have to think about how to make people eat a healthy diet.”
