[QUOTE="JTL, post: 797286, member: 49289"] I'm not convinced by any of the arguments about how this diabetes epidemic started. There are places and times on this planet where spuds and rice have been the number one food for entire populations for generations .... no diabetes. My own theory based on much reading and a theory is all it is that is a little flimsy and could and probably will change here and there .... often .... is the latter half of the twentieth century becoming sugar soaked. Refined sugar by the hundreds of thousands of tons .... a new event in mankind's history. Sugar in cereals sugar in meats and drinks sugar in nearly everything! Fats removed and replaced with sugars. Complex sugars refined sugars fruit sugars alcohol sugars. Dosed to the eyeballs twenty four hours a day from dawn to dusk on a drug/chemical substance called sugar. Looks innocent is fun and is sold to us in a myriad forms on every street corner. This stuff never even existed not that long ago. Then we have ICI as a food vendor. That can't be right. The petro chemical big pharma industry tampering with our food. Most of our modern worlds food supply is contaminated with chemicals. Chemicals to give it colour texture taste shel life etc. Water added to pork and chicken to give it weight. You can't just inject water into meat and expect it to stay there so a chemical mix is injected under great pressure. Then we have salt bleach chemical baths that chicken is soaked in. Then we have the green revolution of the sixties where wheat and grain yeilds rocket! How? By crossing edible grasses with grasses that are not edible. Then theres the chemicals to grow the food in and the chemicals to kill the insects and microbes that compete for our food. Our diets are massively scientific and industrial totally alien to what people before the twentieth century would have known. And we wonder why were screwed up! Ok we're living longer but in a lot of cases heavily medicated to do so. Heavily looked after by a high tech medical system to do so. Another side of that is the accelerating problem of people living longer but not knowing who they are where they are what they are doing while crapping their pants in the corner. I don't think at the end of the day rice and spuds have anything whatsoever to do with today's health problems. [/QUOTE]
