Diabetic Diets, They Knew It All In 1950's. And The Lab Animals Died, And The Food Just Got More "processed."

Our SuperMarket Foods produced a fatal heart attack in a laboratory controlled Rhesus monkey for the first time in 1959, Rhesus monkeys never have heart attacks!!! It was death by Degenerative Disease. Diabetes was called the Queen of Degenerative Diseases then. And when Did They Know This? And still the study has been repeated many times.

These were telling studies and" real tough on the monkeys!" (How about the People.)

The heart failure was produced strictly by feeding the monkey a high fat/high cholesterol diet. The diet was very much like what many Americans consumed every day in the good old 1050's. We call it SuperMarket Food. It was about 42 percent fat and about a 50th of an ounce of cholesterol per day.

After two years on the diet the monkey had developed the characteristic yellow outcroppings (called xanthomas) on his skin, which showed that its atherosclerosis was already well developed.

After two and a half years of feeding, the fatal heart attack happened. The attack was massive, involving about half of his left heart muscle. The heart and the coronary arteries looked just like a human heart looks after such an attack."

The monkey's heart showed many areas of cell death, and the arteries were filled with plaques. It should be pointed out that rhesus monkeys do not have heart attacks under normal circumstances. On ordinary "monkey chow," a rhesus monkey will never have a heart attack. We humans do not eat "monkey chow" but we should eat "Longevity Foods," which is REAL close to Monkey Chow.

There is hope for us but you must be smart and look for that Treasury of easy to identify "Longevity Foods" that are sitting in the Supermarket just saying "I'm healthy, pick me-pick me." In 1974, Dr. Jon Leonard Wrote his first New York Times best-seller, Live Longer Now: The First One Hundred Years of Your Life. This was to be the first book in a series of three books.

How type 2 Diabetics can find help here.
Any one at risk from one of the killer degenerative diseases like, Diabetes, heart disease, atherosclerosis, cerebrovascular disease (stroke) and arterial hypertension will learn how to fight their disease with food. Today we know that "The bottom line to preventing type 2 diabetes can be boiled down to five words: Stay lean and stay active"

"In the U.S., diabetes is accelerating out of control," Leonard notes. "I want to do everything I can, sharing my years of expertise, to make diabetic's lives better. If the entire United states population had followed the principles of a Complex carbohydrate diet seen in these books", Leonard states, "a dramatic improvement in national health and national life span would have resulted. Unfortunately, only about 1-2 didn't. That's why degenerative diseases, such as diabetes, are raging out of control today. I want to reach out to this 99% and make their lives healthier, freer and longer," Leonard concludes.

"Simple Steps to Preventing Diabetes"
We all strongly support the HARVARD SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH's thoughts:

Ø If type 2 diabetes was an infectious disease, passed from one person to another, public health officials would say we're in the midst of an epidemic. This difficult disease, once called adult-onset diabetes, is striking an ever-growing number of adults. Even more alarming, it's now beginning to show up in teenagers and children.

Ø More than 18 million Americans have diabetes; about 5 million don't know they have the disease.

Ø If the spread of type 2 diabetes continues at its present rate, the number of people affected in the United States will increase from about 14 million in 1995 to 22 million in 2025. Worldwide, the number of adults with diabetes will rise from 135 million in 1995 to 300 million in the year 2025.

Ø The problems behind the numbers are even more alarming. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness and kidney failure among adults. It causes mild to severe nerve damage that, coupled with diabetes-related circulation problems, often leads to the loss of a leg or foot. Diabetes significantly increases the risk of heart disease. And it's the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S., directly causing almost 60,000 deaths each year and contributing to thousands more.

The good news is that type 2 diabetes is largely preventable. About 9 cases in 10 could be avoided by taking several simple steps: keeping weight under control, exercising more, eating a healthy diet, and not smoking.
