high proportion of starches

Such a high proportion of starches was causing the highs, lows and food addiction I had before I cut back drastically.


 I don't see how anybody would need to drink something with a high sugar content as part of their basic diet if their health was unremarkable, and -on top of- the fruit juice that is included in the "fruits and vegetables" section? This misinformation is putting the country at risk of a poor health.

Humans evolved during millions of years as hunter-gatherers, without large amounts of carbohydrate.

 We ate the food that is available to us in nature by hunting, fishing and more gathering all edible foods we could find.

 That did not include pure starch in the form of bread, pasta, rice or potatoes. We have only eaten such food for five to ten thousand years, since the beginning of agriculture.


 Just a limited adaptation of our genes can take place in such a relatively short time.

With the industrial revolution, hundred to two hundred  years ago, we got factories that could manufacture large amounts of pure sugar and white flour.

 Rapidly digested pure carbohydrates. There has been no time to genetically adapt to that food.

Furthermore,In the 80-s the fear of fat gripped the western world. The low fat products appeared everywhere.

 If you eat less fat you need to eat more carbohydrates to feel full. 
At this time the worst epidemic of obesity and diabetes in history unfortunately  started.

 The most fat phobic country in the world, the United States of America  has been hit the hardest and is now the fattest major country in the world.

Today it is clear that the fear of real food with natural fat contents has been a mistake.


In February 2012

I have tried to get this plate from various sources as a means to help me understand to portion control.

My dietitian has one,my Dr has one,my diabetic nurse has one...It seems the whole world has one...but alas the guy who really needs one.......is still looking.
 Oh yes I have asked the people looking after at my health...no joy.. they are a teaching tool.

Why will the ... not hand these things out to those that need them..rather than use them as a five minute teaching tool that people forget within seconds.
