According to Dr
Mark Hyman; The diabetes
epidemic is accelerating along with the obesity
epidemic, and what you are not hearing about is
another way to treat it. Type 2 diabetes, or what
was once called adult onset diabetes, is
increasing worldwide and now affects nearly 100
million people -- and over 20 million Americans.
We are seeing increasing rates of Type 2
diabetes, especially in children, which has
increased over 1,000 percent in the last decade
and was unknown before this generation. One in
three children born today will have diabetes in
their lifetime. Yet this is an entirely
preventable lifestyle disease. In a report in
The New England Journal of
Medicine, Walter
Willett, MD, PhD, and his colleagues from the
Harvard School of Public Health demonstrated
that 91 percent of all Type 2 diabetes cases
could be prevented through improvements
lifestyle and diet. Imagine the
savings to our healthcare system if we could
attack the real causes of lifestyle and get
people to change their lifestyles.
