Or in other words, why Coca-Cola is evil. Also … how Type 2 Diabetes is totally reversible by quitting sugar. And how Type 3 Diabetes is essentially Alzheimer’s disease.
Type 2 Diabetes and Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer, which killed our beloved Steve Jobs. Perhaps Steve Jobs’ extreme fruit-itarian diet caused to insulin imbalance in his body, which might have either directly or indirectly led to Jobs getting pancreatic cancer?
For example, let us analyze this study from PubMed: ‘Diabetes Type 2 and Pancreatic Cancer: A History Unfolding‘ [PDF DOWNLOAD]:
Modern diseases
It seems most of our modern diseases (Alzheimer’s-Type 3 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, Heart Disease, Cancer) etc are a result of consuming sugar (toxic in any quantity), high fructose corn syrup (in ketchup and sauces), and simple carbohydrates in our foods (white bread, white pasta, etc).
I really liked this photo-essay on National Geographic outlining the more ‘traditional’ hunter-gatherer lifestyle.
The Toxic Truth about Sugar
It seems sugar in any dose (anti-moderation) is toxic [read the PDF]. The bad thing is this in modern life:
“Oh, it is okay! We all know sugar is bad for you, but ‘in moderation’ it is fine. You know … ‘calories in and calories out!’ Just get enough exercise and do it just ‘once in a while’, and you will be fine!”
I am convinced this is low-key propaganda from the Coca Cola corporation (the notion of ‘Balance your diet, exercise and nutrition’). The notion of calories-in/calories-out is more propaganda from corporations which want you to continue to consume their products which might directly or indirectly lead to diabetes of all forms.
So what should we do?
Meat is not the enemy. Saturated fat and cholesterol is not the enemy. The enemy is sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and sweeteners (which are either ‘natural’ or ‘unnatural’). I am convinced that even “zero calorie” sweeteners probably cause a hormonal cascade (triggering insulin) similarly to how “real” sugar does it. That means no stevia and other strange modern sweeteners for me.
