Obesity and diabetes, raise in direct response to the guidelines to eat a carbohydrate-based diet. They are fraternal twin symptoms of eating of the very guidelines that were created to support economy agriculture in the face of sound physiology and science. This worldwide epidemic is the fallout of eating exactly the only 'macronutrient' not needed to consume for essential nutrition and overloading the body to the point of toxicity. This carbohydrate toxicity has it's own 'rainbow of expression'. A whole few generations being slowly killed and profiting. Good thing that the lay public and interested medical personal take interest and have social media, and research at hand to put this "education" in its appropriate grave.
