WHY This webSite ?

The energy for  everything you do is provided by your mitochondria,  billions of them converting the food you eat into the energy you need.

The foods you choose can help you be healthy and happy or the reverse. 

Today we are gradually becoming "homo diabeticus" As we lead inflammatory lifestyles, eating too much, too often of the wrong things, our systems designed over millions of years cannot cope. 

Today some estimates suggest that almost 50% of the population has prediabetes. That figure would be higher if we tested  insulin. Insulin levels rise to keep blood sugar within normal ranges for years before tests of blood sugar start to increase.

The impact of hyperinsulinaemia, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome includes inflammation of practically all systems of the body and contributes to a vast array of diseases. 

It is not rocket science to see that what you eat makes a difference to how you feel.

On this website you can check out the various systems of the body,  medical conditions and many symptoms see how they are linked to the very same factors  that are linked to T2 Diabetes.

We also provide links to science which helps understanding of the extent that processed foods  are contributing to our ill health   and further links to science that shows how changing one's eating habits to eating whole unprocessed foods including Meat,  Eggs, Dairy , Seafood and Vegetables , and restricting the proportion of carbohydrates in one's diet can help improve so many health conditions. 

We also show some examples of the science, linking to other webistes working in this area to show  how what we eat is  central to the increase in chronic health conditions and the extent to which eating nutrient dense whole foods  can improve your mental and physical wellbeing. 

After analysing 23 million years of person-years, the earlier you're diagnosed with diabetes the earlier you die of any cause: 

"A 50 yr old with diabetes died on average 14yrs earlier when diagnosed at 30. They died 10yrs earlier when diagnosed at 40yrs or 6yrs earlier when diagnosed at 50yrs."

The Hba1C of participants with diabetes  was  6% - 7.37% .    This range is considered GOOD CONTROL by the medical profession for those with T2 Diabetes.  

It is not the diagnosis that kills them !  - it is the  consequences of running high blood sugars for far too long.   These high blood sugars affect every cell in your body  and contribute to the  "Plagues of Plenty"   -  Almost all chronic conditions  are impacted by the metabolic problems of which T2 Diabetes is the most obvious sign.   

Results of the investigators’ analysis also suggested each year with an  HbA1c greater than 58 mmol/mol equated to a loss of around 100 life days  for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. 

T2 diabetes is diagnosed far too late. Hyperinsulinaemia, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome all come well BEFORE a T2 diagnosis.  Do we test these?  NO. 

Dr Joseph Kraft did,   Looking at the overall group of 3,650 people referred because of  suspicion of diabetes, the usual glucose tolerance test criteria would  have found that 1713 were norma.   Bringing to bear the insulin tolerance test, two thirds of these  so-called “normal” tests were found to be latent diabetic. It appears  obvious that the glucose-insulin tolerance test will detect many more  latent diabetics. 

 "Diabetes is a silent disorder. Millions of all ages world wide  with normal fasting blood sugars have diabetes and do not know it. YOU  may be one of them "   His book is available here :

 Dr. Joseph R. Kraft (1916–2015) was a pathologist known for his research  in diabetes and insulin resistance. He is particularly renowned for his  work on the relationship between insulin levels and glucose tolerance.  Dr. Kraft developed the Kraft Prediabetes Profile, a test that assesses  insulin response to glucose challenges, aiming to detect early signs of  diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk. His research emphasized the  importance of insulin resistance as a key factor in metabolic disorders,  contributing significantly to our understanding of diabetes and its  complications. 

Today more and more children are being diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes - their lives are likely to be cut very short.  They deserve normal blood sugars, they deserve normal life expectancy.  By the time you, your child or parent has  been diagnosed with T2 its already become a very serious condition.   You can stop it in its tracks with some very simple changes to the foods you eat. 

WHAT you eat in a day is probably the MOST important thing you do each day.  Common sense tells us - " we are what we eat"    - and yet making food choices based on how it will nourish your health is often the last thing we think about. 

YOU can improve your own health by understanding a few simple elements and making a few simple changes to what you eat and what you do. 

This is NOT medical advice. It is merely saying, if you  understand the consequences of poor food and lifestyle choices and just how simple it is to change the course of your life and that of your children, parent's and freinds, then maybe you will be motivated to helping yourself as well as hoping your doctor can help you.  Drugs can only reduce the effect of what you eat,  they cannot " cure you" only you can change what  you eat  and thus how your body deals with it. 

No one cares about your health as much as you do and no-one is as impacted by your own poor health as you are.

So if there is one  thing  each parent should try to understand is that your METABOLISM is dribvn by what and when  you eat and what you do, with food being by far the most significant element.

If you understand even a  few  basics, you can improve your life and all those around you. 

This website is designed to help you understand how important your metabolism is to you, we give you access to some research  you can  look at yourself, free educational resources and encourage you to learn. 

We give you access to  some of the world's leading authorities ,  links to scientists,  research , family physicians,  medical practitioners, media, and personal experience all dedicated to helping you understand.   

 You don't need to understand every word, you don't need to be a rocket scientist, you just need to care enough to make a few simple changes . 

I hope that once you have looked up a few of the chronic conditions affecting you and all those around you, then you will be interested enough to check our some of the learning materials we have put together for you,  and to make a start in reversing the current plagues of ill-health affecting us all.
