Wait… earlier this week it was…. RED MEAT!!!
Then later in the week it was…. <drum roll> … FATS!!!
Read a post I did about those ‘studies’ Part 1 and Part 2.
Well today I read … they discovered… PESITCIDES! are linked to Diabetes! You can read the article, click here. By the way, Diabetes Care is published by the American Diabetes Association …. I’m concerned already about the truthfulness of this study.
First let me say, I am a FIRM believer that toxins, poisons and pollutants play a role in reducing our disease/illness fighting capabilities by increasing inflammation.
Along with genetics, low cholesterol and vitamin D3 levels I believe that toxins, poisons and pollutants DO play a role in or are ‘linked’ to diabetes.
However... it is amazing the steps researchers will ‘walk’ all around the block trying to discover “THE CAUSE” of diabetes when it’s staring them in the face. … it’s HIGH CARB DIETS including grains and sugar… especially High Fructose Corn Syrup.
Don’t believe me? … cut out all those things and watch your Type 2 Diabetes symptoms greatly reduce or vanish! … it’s not a ‘healing’, it’s not a cure. If a person begins to eat those highER carb foods again… the symptoms do return.
Let’s take a look at this study… what did they find…
CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms the association between type 2 diabetes and adult-only exposure to organochlorine pesticides in a general urban population.
… hmmmm diabetes and obesity are growing at alarming rates and this crack team of researchers are blaming it on … pesticides, but only in adults and only in the ‘general urban population’.
Obviously this doesn’t explain the epidemic of diabetes and obesity in rural areas of the Southern US …
Obviously this doesn’t explain the epidemic of diabetes and obesity throughout the WORLD in rural children….
In my mind, this is just another attempt to throw up a smoke screen on the real culprits in the obesity/diabetes epidemic… sadly those culprits are the main contributors to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE)…and thereby have bought and paid for ‘cover’.
Of course the ADA and AADE gladly comply … for they benefit in increased ‘business’… it’s a Win/Win for them.
As I have stated many times… ‘we’ are the real losers…. ‘we’ pay for this in increased taxes and insurance premiums… for both public and private insurances …. AND we pay for it with cell and organ damage…and ultimately death.
… oh well….
You know, this says to me that some people have no idea the difference between “correlation” and “causation.”
Just curious… what ISN’T linked with diabetes?
Very true.. as to your question? “What isn’t linked with diabetes?” … apparently every thing but grains, cereals and sugar. Or those things produced by Monsanto, PepsiCo and General Mills. :( … all contributors to the American Diabetes Association and the American Association of Diabetes Educators.
That’s what I would believe if I paid attention to those folks, I swear!
Ever see Johnny Mnemonic? Why cure a disease when you can make a bajillion dollars treating it?
Don’t recall having seen that… but the name sounds familiar. Will check it out, thanks. :)
