RE: My diabetes story - Part 4: The Big Lie

in #health8 years ago

I agree, but this fight is even bigger than the tobacco class action, and you see where and how far that hasn't gotten. You go into a supermarket and look at the tobacco section and see how small that is. Then look at the carbohydrate section. That's how much bigger and worse this is.

And it may have started with the USDA, but literally every single food manufacturer is no better than a tobacco producer, producing an addictive, harmful substance and putting it on the shelves, and they all have shareholders and profits, and will spend seemingly endless amounts of money muddying the waters with fake and contradictory research papers, blocking actual research that shows promise, and funding any research that is willing to be skewed to their favour. Not to mention funding legal attacks against proponents that disagree with them, trying to get their medical licenses revoked, or tying them up in court, or heck offering them cushy, well paid jobs to sit on their hands or corrupt their research for money.

I don't know how much longer they can stretch this out for. I just hope we can all help shed some light on this for everyone out there who is being slowly euthanised by Big Carb, in enough time to make a difference.

I used to enjoy going shopping in the big supermarkets, but now it's painful to watch people filling their trolleys with poison. I much prefer to go to smaller markets, purely so I don't have to face my inability to do anything about it.

Sort:  

it may well be with food as Max Planck said about science. he said "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."

it would be a sad thing for so many people to be killed by their mistaken beliefs. it may be that all we can do is take care of ourselves and talk to anyone who will listen, but how much evidence should be needed when half the population of the developed world is set to develop diabetes and/or cancer in their lifetime?
