Is Fasting the Solution?

We are entering the traditional season of feasting and it reminds me how much we seem to have become obsessed with food. We are a country that discards more food than any other country on earth, a whopping 60 million tons every single year. It represents about 30-40% of the national food supply and close to $473 billion. When you think of the work and resources that go into providing food in this country, this should really make you sit down and cry. Especially when you look at the fact that in this country 47 million people face hunger every day including 1 in 5 children.

Sugar is Killing Us

Sugar dysregulation, known as Metabolic Syndrome or MetS, isn’t just about Metabolic Syndrome X, Type 2 diabetes and hypoglycemia. It actually includes a large group of insidious complications like gout, COPD, glaucoma, Bipolar Disorder, psoriasis, osteoporosis, GERD, PCOS, sleep apnea and erectile dysfunction. All of these things have been clinically shown (in very recent clinical studies) to trace their origins back to years of sugar dysregulation.

So why has this become the epidemic of our time? Basically there are three things that have become more and more of an issue over time and when you put them together you have the development of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS).
