One in four kids have either pre-diabetes or diabetes - what I like to call diabesity. How did this happen?
Mark Hyman, M.D.We are eating hybridized and genetically modified (GMO) foods full of antibiotics, hormones, pesticides, and additives that were unknown to our immune systems just a generation or two ago. The result? Our immune system becomes unable to recognize friend or foe - to distinguish between foreign molecular invaders we truly need to protect against and the foods we eat or, in some cases, our own cells. In Third World countries where hygiene is poor and infections are common, allergy and autoimmunity are rare.
Mark Hyman, M.D.It's more important to understand the imbalances in your body's basic systems and restore balance, rather than name the disease and match the pill to the ill.
Mark Hyman, M.D.It is food - we now know that food is information, not just calories, and that it can upgrade your biologic software. The majority of chronic disease is primarily a food borne illness. We ate ourselves into this problem and we have to eat ourselves out of it.
