After years
of torching conspiracy theories wherever they’re found, I hereby announce that
I’ve found one. It’s the real thing; it’s
global, complete with government participation and a money trail. It’s leaving a trail of dead bodies and the
brainwashed masses are being herded to the slaughter. It even has a symbol in the shape of a
pyramid.
It’s our
wheat and sugar based diet.
Look at the
recommended intake for sugar on the nutrition information label on the first
thing you can grab. You’ll not find a
percentage for sugar, because the government hasn’t made an official statement
on how much sugar we need per day, which is 0.0.
Here’s the
thumbnail. In an effort to curb heart
disease, government health organizations decided that a low-fat diet was the
best antidote. Removing fats and/or
their carriers removes flavor, so sugar was added. Adding to this was the USDA’s “food pyramid”
which directs us to consume up to a dozen servings of grains in the form of
processed flour (bread, cereal, pasta, etc.)
Wheat, as we consume it today, not only metabolizes like sugar, but can
stimulate opiate receptors and cause you to keep eating when you’re not
hungry. Anyone who's binged on a bag of Doritos understands this.
Food science
has perfected the “bliss point,” or the point where effect of sweetness is maximized to
boost flavor in processed foods. I’ve
never put sugar in my homemade salsa, but commercial variants contain a significant amount. It’s everywhere, because if a maker doesn’t
use it, their product won’t taste better than the competition and it will stay
on the shelf.
Metabolic
disease, diabetes, and obesity are higher than ever as we choke down the wheat
and sugar. We’ve created related scary
stuff along the way, like gluten sensitivity and GMO terror, both of which are
behind the science curve. We’re giving
our kids fruit juice and grain products, ensuring insulin issues from an early
age.
The
government won’t save us, because it’s a consumer-driven market and regulations
are driven by lobbying. We’re also a
nation where people are free to eat whatever we want while our kids are given
cheap, sugary, wheat-based food at government schools.
Drastically
reducing wheat and sugar in my diet made a huge difference in my health. After years of fighting weight, I finally
reached my target numbers. At 40 I was
under my high school weight. My hypoglycemia
was instantly cured. My strong physical
condition helped me beat cancer, which was most likely developed before I made
the change. There’s no proof that a
wheat/sugar diet caused my disease, but I’ll always be suspicious.
Correcting
the problem isn’t about dieting to lose weight, it’s about changing everything
you ever believed about nutrition. Once
you’ve crawled in this conspiracy basement, you’ll turn your suspicions on diet
supplements, vitamins and “detox” products.
