How do Nutritionists sleep at night? For that matter how do doctors, nutritionists, dietitians, diabetes educators … that push grains, cereals, breads, pasta and rice … sleep at night?
Even more revealing, how can the ‘medical industry’ continue to promote the same high carb, grain based diet to those it harms the most… diabetics? Carbohydrates cause a blood sugar spike … that requires drugs and insulin to bring down. Additionally the soaring highs and the resulting crashing lows can be extremely dangerous.
This reminded me of something …
“How can the medical industry promote essentially the same diet designed to fatten up cattle for slaughter, as a healthy diet for humans?”
How in the hell can the medical industry promote grains and cereals … crap like this as heart healthy and diabetes friendly?? ===>>
Thanks to my friend Greg Lechner for sharing this link from Kellogg’s… and their disgustingly high carb, drug inducing foods.
The link above raises another question that needs answering?
How can companies portray their foods as ‘diabetes friendly’ … when they are some of the ABSOLUTE WORST foods… a diabetic can eat? (Some of the worst foods anyone should eat)
I’ll tell you how…
First … did you know that a medical industry study shows that 90% of diabetics … FAIL! Click here for a post on the study.
However, the medical industry is growing every year… hmmm. The Medical Industry is #Winning.
Second … let’s look at the nutritional panel of the food pictured above … 
This is the typical ‘low fat, high carb, grain based food’ that is being pushed on diabetics … every damn day.
24 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 35 grams of carbs in a single serving for a single MEAL!
I don’t know many adults who could just eat one serving of this and walk away, but let’s assume so.
35 grams of carbs is more than I eat most days!!!. The medical industry of course also wants you to eat some sugary fruit or drink a sugar laden glass of juice.
I normally eat about 20g of carbs most days, I once was drug and insulin dependent with high blood sugars. I have been drug and insulin free with normal blood sugars for about three years.
The choice is yours, you can eat their way…. or my way. (Click here)
Many people are harmed by the high carb advice … many die early deaths after years of living in pain and anguish.
Why is this allowed?
This next picture tells you all you need to know/ The quote/info below is from this link, it’s the Kellogg’s ‘diabetes friendly’ website promoting it’s drug inducing cereals…as ‘diabetic friendly’. :(
Did you ‘catch that’??? The American Dietetic Ass. (now the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics) and the American Diabetes Ass. (twin ADAs) give Kellogg’s the free pass to call this ‘junk’ … diabetes friendly.
Additionally, at ‘only’ 45 grams of carbs per meal = 135 grams of carbs per day plus 15 grams of carbs for two snacks… that’s a whopping 165 grams of carbs per day… that’s more than I eat in a week!!
The two groups whose responsibility it is to protect us all and diabetics … give companies and the medical industry ‘cover’ while they pimp their drug inducing foods.
Why? … follow the money.
Here is 19 million reasons why the American Diabetes Ass. promotes a drug inducing meal plan.
Here is a post showing the corporate sponsors of the American Dietetics Ass.
Here is a post showing the corporate sponsors of the American Ass. of Diabetes Educators.
Summary
The twin ADAs not only give the food companies the okay to pimp high carb foods, the twin ADAs also give cover to doctors, nutritionists and diabetes educators to do the same.
I’ve been told many times, “I’m just instructing diabetics on what I am taught” … let’s see… “Just doing my job”, how many times has that reasoning been used throughout history? (read my disclaimer at the bottom of the page)
People are in denial or they do not really know what’s going on.
Big Pharma and Big Food are ‘contributing’ to the very groups that are supposed to be giving us impartial dietary advice.
To pretend that this is not influence peddling … to assume the money does not influence decisions is very naive.
If British Petroleum was a major contributor to Green Peace, and Green Peace came out promoting deep ocean oil drilling… would you still claim it’s unrelated?
If Jack Daniels was a large contributor to Alcoholics Anonymous and AA promoted drinking “Jack Black” in moderation… would you still think the two were unrelated?
I don’t think so.
Yet, people do not question Big Pharma and Big Food’s contributions… and no one wonders why both ADAs promote a high carb, grain based meal plan… to diabetics.
It’s time to OCCUPY NUTRITION … we must get nutritional policy out of the hands of those who profit from their pathetic advice. #OccupyNutrition.
Is there a documentary film on the ADA? If not, it sounds like there needs to be! The foods are killing us so we need the drugs to stay alive.
Great article! Bravo for telling it like it is and not sugar coating anything. (sorry) You are saving lives with this information, thank you for this. “Speak the truth even if your voice shakes.”

I clicked on the link and it is dead!
Have you already embarrassed it out of existence (or at least gotten it to run, hide, and move)?

If I had a license that gave me freedom of speech to legally say words like “food” and “eating,” I’d say: The list of brands on the Kellogg’s Home Page, link to kelloggs.com, looks like a handy list of nonfoods that diabetics (or others who value fresh, real food) should never eat. However, since I don’t have a freedom of speech license, I wouldn’t dream of saying that.
Thank you for the comment. :)
Embarrassed out of existence??? … don’t I wish! :) … I just checked it and it’s still up, it is a slow loading page.
LOL! …and please don’t say what diabetics should and shouldn’t eat .. the Purveyors of Pain… might not like it. :)
At 32 years of age I was told that with a HBA 1C of 10.8 And having on,y once had a 7.9 which is what is in australia considered a safe range that the likelihood that I would ever be able to carry a child my husband and i knew that the diagnosis for my life was much worse and that something had to change. Marks daily apple has been the light in our life. Look no great overnight miracle for me I am assuming that perhaps there is a little truth that I could bbe insulin resistant but since removing the ‘staples’ such as bread, rice, pasta, sugar loaded fruit, and all other sugar loaded over processes grains I am making in roads with my last HBBa1C being 8.9! After all these years of food and body abuse requiring far too much insulin every dayi am extremely lucky to have no severe long term damage identified to date, but every day with my diet and my new training am hopeful that one day parenthood will be mine. We need to spread the word it doesn’t take a genius to understand that carbohydrates means insulin!! I am aa lucky one my endocronologist doesn’t ever doubt the logic in my diet for him if it works he is happy. I am a mystery to him.
All the best to you and thanks for commenting. A friend of mine Allison has a blog, she’s a type 1 diabetic. She had her first VBAC last year… I urge you to contact her. allisonprimalpregnancy.blogspot.com
great to see somebody stand up and fight against the decietfull american goverment that profits from evil agendas. Im another one who fights for the truth. Keep exposing how to reverse diabetes. People need to wake up and get out of denile. Eat a plant based diet not chemicals. I send love and good vibes out to everybody who cares. Peace
Dave, Thanks… I follow a meat (fat) based diet. I know of no one who has done what I have done on a plant based diet. I was drug and insulin dependent (4 insulin shots per day) and I am not totally drug and insulin free…with normal blood sugar for non-diabetics. Feel free to contact me if you know of someone and I’ll be glad to publicize their story.
Sending good vibes back atcha. :)
Good on you Steve for standing up. I applaud you. I guess that you have probably read Dr Steven Gundry’s book, Diet Evolution which imparts similar information to yours. Helen Wenley
Thank to Steve for keeping after the ADA on their insane program. Since I started a Paleo Diet back in March of this year, I have dropped 30lbs and my most recent A1c was 5.5. My doc was stunned! I am getting her a copy of the Paleo Diet book by Loren Cordian. Keep up the great work, you are much appreciated!
