The Diabetic Epidemic: How Big Sugar Manipulated Science for 50 Years

For Questions or Comments Send us a Text Message

Shocking revelations about our food system take center stage as we uncover the troubling connection between a single corrupted scientific study and America's diabetes epidemic. Buried in Harvard University archives for 51 years, documents reveal how Big Sugar paid prominent scientists $61,000 in today's money to shift blame from sugar to saturated fat—derailing nutritional science for half a century and potentially contributing to 158 million deaths worldwide.

We cut through media hysteria surrounding avian flu and egg prices, sharing Consumer Reports' findings that properly handled and cooked eggs remain perfectly safe. Despite headlines suggesting dangerous shortages, we found eggs readily available at reasonable prices, contradicting the narrative being pushed by mainstream sources.

The conversation shifts to brain health as we explore Stefan McDermott's groundbreaking book "Achieve Optimal Brain Health with Nutrition." Drawing on personal experience, we discuss how dietary changes transformed our health and cognitive function. The Mediterranean diet, omega-3 fatty acids, and elimination of inflammatory foods emerge as powerful tools against everything from brain fog to menopausal symptoms. We share a fascinating analogy: just as oil fixes a squeaky door, healthy fats repair brain function.

Perhaps most disturbing is our revelation about American versus European food standards. Many ingredients freely permitted in American products are banned across Europe—explaining why Americans often lose weight eating abroad despite consuming pasta, bread, and sugar. This stark contrast raises serious questions about our regulatory system and its impact on our national health crisis.
