What year is this, 1970? What… it’s 2014?amy-campbell
40 plus years after the failed low fat, high carb campaign and we still have harmful advice coming from a so called ‘diabetes educators’ promoting a high carb, grain based meal plan.
40 plus years of miserable failure in not only not preventing diabetes … but in treating diabetes.
A medical industry member is parroting harmful information. Just like ‘highly educated’ certified diabetes educators, just like doctors, just like nutritionists etc etc. … they all (or almost all) promote a high carb, low fat, grain based meal plan for diabetics!
And it causes untold pain and suffering… needlessly!!!
Another example of harmful diabetes advice … from the Medical Industry. Improper diabetes advice is harming millions every damn day.
I look at McDonald’s fries now and I know that……….they’re not *really* fries. Sadly they contain harmful ingredients and perhaps even more than what we know those to be… breaks my heart. The “food” we see in front of us? It is just “food-like products”….all sick, sick lies. I am sad.
… or will they continue to kiss Big Pharma’s ass, promoting a high carb diet… with their hands held out… palms up?
There is most definitely a conflict of interest … the only ones benefiting from the high carb ADA meal plan is Big Pharma, Big Food and the Medical Industry.
Tell me, are you so SUPREMELY NAIVE as to believe there is not a connection? Really?
Avandia … is a perfect example of the reason I often say, Do not take drugs … NEEDLESSLY! And you will not know if they are needless until you eat a truly low inflammatory meal plan. Why do I ‘harp’ on this??? It’s for your own good, I am TRYING to help you. 1) …
The medical industry doesn’t have ‘diabetes care experts’, they have experts at increasing diabetes care. They promote diets and lifestyles that increase the need for diabetes care, diabetes services and diabetes drugs.
46 grams of carbohydrates for just the cereal alone. Add to that a full cup of milk which is around 11 more grams of carbohydrates, that equals about 57 grams of carbs in a single serving for a single serving!
Definition of an ADA Minion is someone who profits from dishing out harmful (American Diabetes Association Approved) high carb, grain based dietary advice… to diabetics. I’ve had many exchanges online with ADA Minion but here are just a couple of posts about the exchanges. My first post “Karen Johnson“, My favorite… a 3 post series, …
The names of the two main types of diabetes have changed in recent decades… the reason for this change speaks volumes about the ADA’s protocols and who their recommended treatments actually benefit.
The quote below was made in a reply to a discussion regarding the conventional wisdom that diabetics should eat 4-6 meals per day. “I realize in hindsight I gave way too much credit to conventional dietary wisdom and tortured myself trying to adhere to bad advice.” ~ Jason Encke What Jason said is very …
I knew it was coming; I gritted my teeth for as long as I could… Paula Deen is a diabetic … shocker! She’s just like I was… an obese, carb eating machine. The surprise is that it took this long for her to be diagnosed. Who knows, she may have actually been diabetic years ago… …
First let’s look at a few facts. 1) 90% of diabetics fail at maintaining normal blood sugar, if you doubt that… read this post. “90% Fail“. I truly think the number is much higher than that…. but this is the medical industry’s numbers. Using conservative and ‘rough’ estimates… there are approximately 30 million diabetics in the …
Healthcare would be designed to make you healthy.
We do not have that.
We have a system designed to mask or cover up symptoms, while our underlying health deteriorates.
Do you have a child that has diabetes symptoms? Have they had high blood sugars (hyperglycemia)? … but were tested for diabetes using an Hemoglobin A1c test? If so, I would urge you to read this post and consider other options, an article below states the tests are inaccurate for children. I’ll also discuss an …
Please bear with me during the first part of this post… please? … I am in an ill mood! “Why?”, you ask. November is ‘diabetes awareness month’. Seemingly every literate person on the planet is ‘aware’ of diabetes. It’s in the news, it’s on commercials… how can anyone NOT be aware of diabetes??? This is …
Serving size matters … that is. The American Diabetes Association or as I like to refer to them… American Diabetes Ass., likes to tell everyone that they do not promote a high carb meal plan. Sadly, many diabetics believe them. To some degree the ADA is able to ‘get away with this’ thanks to TINY serving …
I truly love the quote in the picture to the right. It can and has applied to many situations … but could not be more true than today…especially as it relates to dietary policy. Read this post and see if you agree …. American Diabetes Association ( and ADA Minion) promotes a diet that …
Preface I have nothing against Vegetarians, Vegans etc … I actually attempted Veganism before my diabetes diagnosis. I tried many times… but never went an entire day without eating meat. I do believe they are misguided from a nutritional standpoint but I truly wish them all well. I love to experiment with different meal plans… …
