teen diabetes has more than doubled?

Meanwhile, the FDA will not allow Harvard studies showing the benefits of cherries to be spoken of by farmers.

This while the FDA does not make a peep about corn syrup in everything, and the government subsidizes monoculture agriculture, and Michael Taylor, a Monsanto-created freak appointed by Obama, is supposed to protect food safety.

In California, Rawsome Foods is busted, with all their inventory trashed, and the authorities lose James Stewart, a 65-year old worker, for 10 days, telling his people he is "lost in the system." Meanwhile, he is suffering from hypothermia and has sewage flowing into the cell where they have dumped him.

Rawsome Foods was next to a homeless shelter, with which they shared food.

Not far away, in San Diego, the DEA grabs a 5th-year engineering student, tells him they will let him go, then they forget him for 5 days. He is in kidney failure when they remember, and he has to spend days in the ICU.

Power corrupts, and it also enables bad food with obesogens, muzzles speech about good food, and negligently endangers its victims in the cause of helping its cronies. We have some Plans of Correction that we should be getting underway.

Corn syrup anyone? I have it in several forms. Drinks, sweets, cereals, ... all have corn syrup. Do you want orange juice instead of an orange? Do you want apple juice instead of an apple. Do you want white bread instead of whole wheat bread? Do you want to avoid all the fiber that naturally comes with the foods we eat or do you want it stripped away, false color and flavor added, and a dash of sweetener?

Of course the rate is going up rapidly. It's the food we eat. That's obvious. But the agribusiness industries that manufacture our food are making big profits so we will continue down this path to destruction.

Larry's right. The junk we eat has a lot to do with it.

Interesting. Thanks.

It's the combo of bad diet and lack of exercise. In my neighborhood, kids (little ones and teens) are always out doing something physical-biking, skateboarding, running games. None of them are fat.

This is a scary statistic. There's no cure for diabetes. It's a devastating disease that causes all kinds of problems. All of us will pay for this in the long run.

In the 70s we ate some terrible junk as teens, and without knowing anything about it being bad like we know now. I wonder what is different about it all now.

one guy has a theory. Cesarean babies have twice the rate of diabetes as vaginal delivery babies. Cesareans are much more common now than they were in the 1970s.
