Deadly Sweet Embrace

Diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and obesity are already epidemic in modern society and rapidly worsening. Their burden on our health care systems is enormous and growing. Even our youth and children are beginning to be affected. Life expectancy may have increased but our years of disability free living are fewer than ever. A common thread linking these diseases can be traced through anthropology, history and into recent research. A single chemical found in much our daily food has clear connections and is also implicated in many other illnesses, including arthritis, asthma, immune system disorders, some cancers, dementia, osteoporosis, nerve damage and repetitive strain injuries. Choices you make for yourself and your children are influenced by an industry without conscience that has been manipulating science and world politics to preserve its profits.
