And then to admit that Sugar and Refined Carbohydrates are the leading cause of modern Disease.

I think it is just around the corner. Most of my medical colleagues will have to be sharing in that ‘Humble Pie’ as well. Hope there is enough to go around!

I have had a lot of discussions with numerous levels of bureaucracy recently and most people find it a challenge to reconsider the indoctrination that we have had from the food industry, government and advisory boards.

There is a lot of denial out there that our food might just be responsible for our health.

The challenge is to not just change ourselves but to change the indoctrination that we have had from the food industry, government and advisory boards that continue to deny the latest research.
