I don't have T2D. I just applied a CGM prescribed by my endocrinologist, who appreciates the fact that I'm willing to learn what I can and cannot eat, and how eating patterns affect my BG and presumably insulin levels. She said, I don't think insurance will pay for this. 1/n

“We have no data to show us that we need animal products and that animal products help us. We only have data to show us that animal products can hurt us and that are associated with more chronic disease more hypertension or diabetes more coronary artery disease …
If you ate no sugar for one year, instead of consuming the 101.6 pounds the average American consumes every year, you wouldn't eat nearly a cubic foot of sugar.
Half the people's mega blocks of sugar would be even BIGGER.
That's 11533 sugar cubes for the cube fans.
Assuming:
Americans consume ~126.4 grams per day on average.
Well well, since 1950 school lunch quality goes down.
UPF wrecking health is not new!
"In the 1950s, with the rise of pre-packaged convenience foods and the government’s emphasis on lowering food costs overall, the nutritional quality of school …
lunches plummeted. Although schools were serving calorically dense meals, they often offered little in the way of healthy veggies, fresh fruits, or lean proteins, instead offering things like cheese meatloaf and sausage shortcake. The lack of nutrition was one of the driving …
factors behind the Child Nutrition Act of 1966, which gave control over what schools could offer at mealtime to the Department of Agriculture."
