As people get sicker, Big Pharma benefits from complicity, the food industry is protected from the costs of its actions, and the government profits from tariffs on processed food shipped to other unsuspecting countries. We've accepted this as normal. It's not, and we have the power to change it...

There's no biochemical reaction in any vertebrate organism that requires dietary fructose. Now, we can tolerate a certain amount: up to about 25 grams of sugar (12 grams of fructose) per day. That would be 6 teaspoons of added sugar. A bowl of fruit loops is 4 teaspoons. youtu.be/mTyx9l0OyZU?...

Toxin A plus Antidote B still equals death. Coffee reduces risk of Type 2 diabetes, but adding sugar to coffee negates the beneficial effect because sugar is a mitochondrial toxin.

Nutrition is not the same as food science. Nutrition is what happens to the food between the mouth and the cell. Food science is what happens to the food between the ground and the mouth.

Food processing isn't listed on the Nutrition Facts food label. The label tells you what's in the food. This somewhat irrelevant. What you really need to know is what's been done to the food, and no label tells you that.
