When bodies are donated for medical research, scientists closely examine the cadavers. Lately, what they’ve been finding is disturbing.
Professor Rolf Halden is an Arizona State University researcher. He and his colleagues are finding tiny bits of plastic throughout the bodies they look at. It is concentrated in the liver, kidneys, lungs, and spleen, but it’s in other organs as well.
In 2013, a new class of diabetes drugs was approved by the FDA. It was hailed as a breakthrough.
The medications were called SGLT2 inhibitors. They included Invokana (canagliflozin), Farxiga, (dapagliflozin), and Jardiance (empagliflozin).
The drugs worked by causing the kidneys to remove more blood sugar.
SGLT2 inhibitors were touted as providing superior blood sugar control for type 2 diabetics with no serious side effects.
America is heading toward a diabetes disaster.
Nearly 90 million people in the U.S. have prediabetes. Don’t let the “pre” fool you.
Prediabetes is a serious condition. It means that your blood sugar levels are elevated and heading toward full-blown diabetes and all the health problems that it entails…nerve damage, kidney disease, vision loss, heart disease, strokes, and more.[1]
Along with all those issues, diabetics often die early.
We’ve been fighting the wrong enemy.
In the war against America’s biggest killer, heart disease, doctors told us for decades that we needed to cut saturated fat.
This, it turns out, is nonsense spawned by bad science.
One of the worst offenders is the 1969 Los Angeles VA Study.[i]
It looked at 850 elderly veterans who were divided into two groups.
Sugar may be the single worst food for your health.
It’s linked to virtually all the biggest killers that plague Americans: heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer’s… The list goes on and on.
But even though we know sugar is bad for us, we keep eating it.
The average American now consumes almost 17 teaspoons of it a day. That’s about 57 pounds a year.
A new Cambridge University study found that there’s an existing health treatment so effective that it saves nearly 4 million lives every year around the world.
In the U.S. alone, it prevents 140,200 fatalities annually.
That’s roughly equivalent to the entire death toll so far from COVID-19.
The study found that this treatment is so effective it may be the single most lifesaving weapon against disease that mankind has.
