The Human Body
You can immediately see the effect
that
consumption
of refined sugar has on a population, and since these effects are
known,
the distribution of refined sugar to a population constitutes a
criminal
act. In Vietnam the U.S. Government instituted a very successful
program of selling the Vietnamese processed
polished
rice (which you can see at the supermarket) as a replacement for their
whole grain rice which contains the B vitamin (thiamine) complex.
Immediately the general health of the Vietnamese began to suffer, especially when they were exposed to American processed foods and soft beverages. The combination of white rice and white sugar was a lethal combination for the Vietnamese. U.S. medical officials in Vietnam in 1971 pretended to be stumped, and decided to announce that a mysterious disease was being coming rampant and a vaccine had to be found. Warnings were broadcast over radio and television and millions of leaflets were dropped. The Vietnamese government was then stuck with the bill for blood plasma and IV fluids which the U.S. Government airlifted in to "solve the problem". I remember it because I was there when this was going on. Refined Sugar, Diabetes and Hypoglycaemia
Dietary causes are not the only
cause of
a malfunction
of body insulin production, but dietary relationships are what we will
focus on here.
patients reported the evidence, not the doctors.
Therefore, it is not "medical" evidence.
Government Ignores Symptoms of Sugar Consumption. From World War I to the Vietnam era, physical examinations of draftees points to a steady increase of diabetes among teenagers and the population in general. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness, as well as a major contributor to disability and death from disease of the kidney and the heart. The current estimate of those with diabetes in the United States is more than twenty million people. The number of people suffering from pre-diabetic symptoms, hypoglycaemia (low blood glucose, very often the precursor of full diabetes) is estimated to be over 100 million people the number is going up each day because of the criminal practices of the American food industry and the spineless government beseiged with pay-offs and constant lobbying for increased profits. US Dept of Health and Human Welfare Ignores Neurological Symptomology According to a September 1973 letter from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (an organization that exists, like others, to ensure the exact opposite), unpublished data shows that out of 134,000 people interviewed in 1973, 66,000 (49.2%)reported the symptoms of hypoglycaemia (sweating, shakiness, trembling, anxiety, rapid heartbeat, headache, weakness, and occasionally seizures and coma). According to the Journal of the American Medican Association in 1973, "the majority of people with these symptoms do not have hypoglycemia". The fact they they do not state what they have is significant, yet they cannot claim to know unless they really know what is happening and they are not telling anyone. Since the HEW study remains unpublished the AMA can claim not to know about it, and say that the claims of widespread hyperglycaemia in the United States are "not supported by medical evidence", since the HEW study reported statistical epidemiological evidence. The Diabetes and Sugar: Denmark as a Case in Point
Hippocrates never described a case
of
diabetes.
The only country where actual statistics relating to diabetes and the
consumption
of sugar is Denmark. In 1880, the average Danish citizen consumed over
29
pounds of refined sugar annually. At that time, the recorded death rate
from diabetes was 1.8 per 100,000. In 1911, consumption more than
doubled
to 82 pounds per person, and the death rate from diabetes rose to 8 per
100,000. In 1934, sugar consumption rose to 113 pounds per person and
the death rate from diabetes rose to 18.9 per 100,000. Before World War
II, Denmark has a higher consumption of sugar than any other European
country. It is interesting that one out of five people in Denmark also
have
cancer. In Sweden, annual consumption per person of refined sugar rose
from 12 pounds in 1880 to over 120 pounds per person in 1929. One out
of
six people in Sweden has cancer. The conclusion is inescapable: as refined sugar
consumption increases, the incidence of fatal disease increases to
match
it.
The discovery of synthetically
produced
insulin
meant that the pharmaceutical industry had another financial windfall,
and the surge in refined sugar production in the United States in the
1920's
ensured that the profit would escalate dramatically. Taking too little
or too much insulin can cause insulin shock. In 1924, low levels of
glucose
in the blood were declared to be a symptom of excessive insulin. Dr.
Seale
Harris of the University of Alabama began to notice symptoms of insulin
shock in many people who were neither diabetic not taking any insulin.
These people were diagnosed as having low levels of glucose in their
blood
(diabetics have high levels of glucose). Dr. Harris pointed out that
the
cure for low blood glucose was self-government of the body by giving up
refined sugar, candy, coffee and soft drinks. Needless to say, neither
the medical establishment nor the food industry was amused by this fact, because patients with hyper-insulin
situations
could never be made to be dependent on the medical system when they
could
take care of the problem themselves by watching their diet. Furthermore, in 1929, Dr.Frederick
Banting, the
discoverer of insulin, informed the medical establishment that the way
to prevent diabetes was to cut down on "dangerous" consumption levels
of
sugar.
In the 1930's researchers in the
United
States
discovered that Chinese and Japanese who take rice (natural, not
polished)
as their principle food had very little diabetes. They also noticed
that
Jews and Italians had a high incidence of diabetes, as their sugar
intake was correspondingly higher. Other statistics
in the United States show that the outbreak of diabetes dropped sharply
during World War I when sugar was rationed (except it was not rationed
to the soldiers who were doomed anyway and the military incidence of diabetes went up).
Refined sugar was introduced to
Japan
after the
U.S. Civil War, and the Japanese used it as a medicine. By 1906, 45,000
acres of sugar cane were cultivated in Japan. As the Japanese consumed
more sugar, the onset of "western" diseases increased.
When we eat, the process of
digestion
converts
food into glucose, which is carried in the blood to the pancreas, where
the increased blood glucose level stimulates the production of insulin
to balance the glucose level. The insulin is carried in the blood to
the
liver,
where excess glucose is converted to glycogen,
which is then stored in the liver. A decrease in blood glucose, on the
other hand, stimulates secretion of cortical hormones in the adrenal
gland
and hormones in the pituitary gland (ACTH) which raise the blood
glucose
level by converting some of the stored glycogen in the liver to
glucose.
In a healthy body, the blood glucose level is maintained by the
interplay
of insulin, cortical hormones, and ACTH.
Consumption of refined sugar products (as
well
as honey and fruits) overstimulates the pancreas, causing
over-production
of insulin, converting too much glucose into glycogen, depressing the
blood
glucose level and producing a condition of hyperinsulinism, or
hypoglycaemia. As the pancreas tires of producing
insulin to counteract the consumption of sugar, the blood sugar begins
to rise significantly. When the insulin supply becomes inadequate in
this
manner, the liver cannot effectively convert excess glucose to
glycogen. This condition is known as diabetes.
The fact that the recommendation
exists
in the
medical community for a diabetic to consume glucose tablets or sugar
cubes
when they feel an incident of insulin shock coming on is incredible and
counter to established scientific data on the physiological operation
of
the
human body, yet the public mutely accepts this
in a blind trust of those "who know better than we do". Mass media
commercials
continually create the atmosphere that the public is a collective bunch
of imbeciles, and one that suggests that the medical community and the
pharmaceutical companies only care about the welfare of the public. The
Department of Health, Education and Welfare should be renamed for what
it really stands for, based on
its activity and accomplishments over the years:
The Department of Disease Production, Mind Control of the Young and
Sociological
Dependency.
In 1960, Japanese doctor Nyoiti
Sakurazawa noted,
"no Western doctor can cure diabetes, even thirty years after the
discovery
of insulin. Physicians have continued to recommend insulin, condemning
diabetics to walk with an insulin crutch for the rest of their lives,
yet on the 25th anniversary of the discovery
of insulin, the inefficiency of insulin as a treatment or cure for
diabetes
was publicly admitted. In the meantime, millions of diabetics have paid
millions of dollars for this ineffective remedy. The number of
diabetics
is increasing every day. Once they begin taking insulin, they can
expect
to feed the pockets of the doctors and pharmaceutical corporations as
long
as they live.
In 1964, Sakurazawa said, "I am confident that Western medicine will admit what has been known in the Orient for years: sugar is without question the number one murderer in the history of humanity - much more lethal than opium or radioactive fallout. Sugar is the greatest evil that modern industrial civilization
has visited upon the countries of the Far East and Africa
(genocide)...foolish
people who give or sell candy to babies will one day, to their horror,
find that they have much to answer for."
In 1991, according to the 1993 World
Almanac and
Book of Facts, the United States exported $12.1 million dollars of
sugar
and imported $713 million dollars worth of sugar, much to the delight
of
the medical and pharmaceutical industries, and the detriment of the
population. Increased sugar consumption and the
resulting symptoms of hypoglycemia have also contributed toward an
increasing
number of accidents on the highways of the world - the carnage
continues.
Consult the composite chronology on this web
site to research how sugar as a population modifying drug has been
historically
handled, and by whom. It is some of the same people who later were
involved
in opium trafficking and today traffic in heroin and cocaine worldwide. Get it yet? [1]
