Amazing. Thanks Hana. I reckon that ought to be worth posting on the main board!
It is so good to see members of the Health Profession actually twig what is going on. My concern has been about carbs - specifically processed ones and the dangers of the high consumption of them - and what is fructose but an intrinsic part of that processed muck. People think it is healthy to drink carton fruit juices, but in reality, even the ones that don't have any added sugar are pure sugar. Not only has all the fibre been strained out, but many of the nutrients are lacking as are all of the enzymes.
Everything is meddled with these days. So much damage has been done to us all because of the arrogance of some people who think they can 'do better'. The power wielded by these few has influenced the majority of the World's governments, and we are in such a mess as a result.
I remember reading some of John Yudkin's books years ago and they were pretty profound. I just wish I was as convinced of the logic of them back then as I am now. Might have saved myself a whole lot of angst.
I loved the comment Robert Lustig made that when God created the poison, he packaged it with the antidote! The more natural our food is the better we are as a result.
That's my argument with the drugs business too. Although many of them are derived from plants and natural substances, they extract what they consider to be the 'active ingredient' so that they can create a patentable financial 'cash cow' and wonder why the drugs give people awful side effects they don't get when they take the herbs or the plants.
Definitely one to add to my growing list of important information.
