People think supplements are the antidote for bad food. They’re not. Rather, Real Food is the treatment, while bad food is the poison. In particular, we’ve learned that sugar, the main component of processed food, is the primary driver of four chronic diseases. It’s also a likely candidate for another five. These nine diseases together total about 75 percent of the healthcare burden in the US, and 60 percent globally. Processed food is behind them all, sugar makes them worse, and there’s no drug that prevents or reverses any of them.
