...excess sugar is at the heart of the metabolic dysfunction thats driving obesity, diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, and many of the other chronic conditions so rampant today. Yet, this is the opposite of what we are told by the media and countless so-called nutrition professionals. Instead of placing blame where blame is due—with the food industry and its failed oversight—the blame is placed on fat people, tagged as lazy, unmotivated, and lacking in willpower or moral fortitude. Nothing could be further from the truth. Sugar has actually been found to be eight times as addictive as cocaine! The US food system is taking an enormous toll on Americas mental and physical health, as well as the economy. Seventy-five percent of our health care dollars go to the treatment of chronic metabolic disease. The statistics provided by FedUpMovie reveal the gravity of this problem: If you drink one to two sugar-sweetened beverages per day, you have a 26 percent higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes. A 20-ounce bottle of coke contains the equivalent of 17 teaspoons of sugar. Just one soda per day raises your childs chance of obesity by 60 percent Between 1977 and 2000, Americans doubled their daily sugar intake. In 2012, Americans were each consuming an average of 130 pounds of sugar per year At the current rate, 95 percent of all Americans will be overweight or obese within 20 years By 2050, one of every three Americans will have type 2 diabetes.
