Diabetic Health Clinic Newsletter – 20/1/2014

Greetings,

Well it had to happen sooner or later! You may have noticed this week on our social media posts announced the first shots have been fired in a new war. We have now come to a stage where prominent researchers and doctors are hitting the alarm button in regards to processed sugar. For a long time the food industry has been loading our foods with sugar, to the point where consumption has gone through the roof.

 Lets have a look at some facts based on research.

 1. Sugar can be addictive.

2. Processed sugar is detrimental to our health.

3. The oversupply of energy that processed sugar provides is stored by our body as fat.

4. This oversupply of sugar is detrimental to our health and in some people will trigger diseases like type 2 diabetes.

4. The safest way to consume the daily required amount of sugar is through unprocessed whole foods.

 Make no mistake about it. If you thought the tobacco industry has put up a battle, just watch what the food industry is likely to do.  There is now enough evidence that we should say enough is enough. Believe it or not we are hearing things from the food industry like “there is no evidence” just like we heard from the tobacco industry.  This time however the battle will be much more severe. The food industry is much larger than the tobacco industry ever was and they have much, much, much more money to try and defend their case. We can only hope that common sense prevails and that these harmful ingredients are removed from our modern day foods. After all why should people get sick and die because some industry just wants to make more money?

 A great place to start understanding why a return to a whole foods plant based diet is so important is to visit the Diet area of the Diabetic Health Clinic Research Institute.

 This week we added the following items to our website. The new movie is a perfect example of how the food industry is exploiting people for their own gain.
