It’s no wonder more people than ever are skeptical of public health organizations and mainstream experts who claim to possess the final word on health and nutrition, when there is so much proof that information has been censored and even doctored in order to push a certain message that will help corporations like Procter & Gamble become richer and richer.
Like… Just wait till you hear about sugar and the lies around that.
The fact that the food industry was able to hamstring Michelle Obama’s campaign against childhood obesity as FLOTUS should tell you how much power they really have. They didn’t like what she had to say about artificial sweeteners and type 2 diabetes.
Oh, they also take advantage of subsidized slave labor through our prison system.
The is a branch of research about the myelin sheath around brain cells showing deterioration due to lack of fat consumption when we shifted to 6-11 servings of bread and pasta a day for all that sugar.
Sugar activates the same receptors as heroin. Which, isn’t surprising since simple sugars are what fueled much of our earlier ancestors. I personally am not a fan of this fact and would rather frame it as heroin activates the same receptors as sugar.
That said, the sugar industry is a mess. A number of documentaries have been made about it, how they have bribed government officials, had the ear of presidents, and have killed journalists.
The problem with sugar is that it’s in just about everything. Sugar, by itself, is not a bad thing so long as you don’t overdue it but…a single coke is overdoing it.
So do protein, exercise, meditation, getting a raise, spending time with family, and a million other things. I’m not saying sugar is good, but this statement is meaningless.

This is what regulatory capture looks like.
I’m ready. Tell me. I already know I probably shouldn’t eat it but give me the gut punch.

Came about from Alzheimer’s research.
Wow. Thanks, that’s scary!
