Type 2 diabetes and diet have a strong link according to medical studies and journals. Science is trying to find out what is at the root cause of the increase? 30 years ago it was very uncommon for a child to contract type 2 diabetes. Children usually suffer from Type 1 diabetes, this is also known has juvenile diabetes. Has diet caused the Type 2 diabetes crisis in children and young adults?
According to Francise Rather Kaufman MD, Type 2 diabetes has been described as a new epidemic in the American pediatric population that has been coincident with the overall 33% increase in diabetes incidence and prevalence seen during the past decade. The affects on young adults are similar. In the last 35 years there has been an increase of over 40 % in adults between the ages of 20 and 40. Medical professionals are suggesting that a type 2 diabetes diet may be the best preventive measure for people without the illness. Studies show regardless of whether one has diabetes or not, a diabetes diet may be the best way to lose weight and prevent the illness.
Why the spread of the illness over the last 30 years? One of the areas medical researchers are looking strongly at is food chemicals as the cause of the diabetes and obesity explosion. This is based on the reversal of pre-diabetes with a specialized diet used in Denmark.
In fact a specialized Type 2 diabetes diet caused more weight loss than the popular Weight Watchers diet in a recent European study. The advantage of the specialized diabetic diet is that it prevented diabetes in people at high risk for diabetes. Doctors in Brussels suggested that a specialized diabetes diet may become the "normal diet" for all people to prevent the increase of the illness. Could a generation of young people and children who were exposed to artificial foods have become the victims of this horrible illness? Studies may prove the Food and drug administration has allowed the poisoning of a generation of people.
The specialized type 2 diabetes diet that reversed obesity and pre diabetes was shown in Denmark. See here
