I was reading a thread last week right here on Free Republic, and someone suggested the book ‘The Obesity Code’. I downloaded it on my kindle, and it’s been an eye opener, for sure. While I knew probably 75% of what’s in the book already, the volume of info presented to back up the science is fascinating. Have always been fascinated with this kind of stuff, and am nowhere near what anyone would call fat, or even chubby. However, my family is prone to diabetes on both sides, so I like to stay up to speed on this stuff. It also helps with my arthritis if I stay away from processed crap/carbs/etc. Now if they could only make a beer without carbs....
The growth of cancers and other diseases have roughly paralelled the growth of processed foods in our diet. Ain’t saying that’s the reason, but there must be a connection between diet and disease.
