The rise in incidence of Type 2 diabetes in the American population correlates with the introduction of processed foods and the hazardous food pyramid. Fresh, unadulterated food is fuel, processed chemical concoctions are not. White flour and white sugar were proven to be non-foods when developed. “Fortification” hasn’t changed that. No respectable nutritionist would dispute any of this.
If diet played no part in Type 2, then dietary changes would be of no effect. Empirical evidence proves otherwise. The sheer number of people who have experienced improvements in glucose regulation prove efficacy. Obviously, lifestyle changes will not have the immediacy or drugs, but to say it’s not diet-related flies in the face of reality. Diabetes explodes in every indigenous population that adopts a western diet. Can you explain how that happens?
