In our last +1, we chatted about the fact that your food label might be lying to you by stuffing a few variations of into your jam so “SUGAR” doesn’t make its way to the top slot.
(Which is one of the reasons you and your Loved ones might be and, unfortunately, suffering the SIGNIFICANT consequences.)
Today I want to chat about some more wisdom from Mark Hyman’s great book Food Fix. In our next +1, we’ll focus on his #1 tip for Optimizing your personal health AND a powerful way to collectively pull a lever on systemic change.
But, first, talk about the sugar = cancer candy theme for another moment.
This is a BIG deal and something we want to REALLY get.
So…
Let’s go back to
Here’s what he tells us:
So, yah.
Reduce your intake of sugar and reduce your odds of developing cancer. It’s really not that complicated.
Only…
You know how some less-than-virtuous executives thought that it was a good idea to confuse us with misleading food labels so we didn’t realize SUGAR was the primary ingredient in our jam?
Well…
Hate to break the news to you but they’ve ALSO been paying some of their friends to do some junk science to help them sell their junk food.
Yep.
Researchers are paid to make us think that sugar isn’t THAT bad for us.
Yep.
(Pause and reflect on that stat for a moment.
And, not surprisingly, as Mark says,
He tells us that all this “junk science” winds up “polluting and diluting independent research, and confusing policy makers, the public, and even most doctors and nutritionists.”
We’ll leave it at that for Today before this becomes a +33.
Period.
Is TODAY a good day to and take the next step in Optimizing?
win!!!
