I agree with almost everything you said (except for the part about diabetes being reversed)
I think when you talk about diabetes being "reversed", you are referring to the differences in blood sugar control. You can temporarily reverse the
need for medical by controlling nutrient intake and by increasing metabolic uptake (exercise) but diabetes is a progressive disease and ultimately the
need to take medication will return, if you live long enough. However, there is a decided advantage to putting off the inevitable for as long as you
can.
We agree that sugar should NOT be regulated.
Do you agree that this opinion piece by this researcher is simply part of marketing campaign to "denormalize" fat people and set them up for the
same type of financial rape, humiliation etc to which smokers are currently treated.

it depends which diabetes your are referring to.
one more important but overlooked point.
enzymes.
hfcs, and processed food with hfcs is almost totally devoid of enzymes.
enzymes are what is needed for nutrition.
without enzymes or lack of, there is but one thing: death.
they (hfcs, processed food) cannot be digested as such, no or very few nutrients are drawn. even those nutrients are not balanced in the way that our
body is adapted to. so it will pace undue burden on a system. what happens when a system is burdened? it starts to crack.
it truly is empty calories.
suicide by food.
i don't know, but my impression was not a denomalization of fat people.
i think the original idea was to spread the knowledge of hfcs to the masses, so that they may become better aware.
but probably denomalization is what MAY happen.
pieces like these are used as propaganda.
my only contribution to this, is that I too would like to use articles like this, to further my own goals.
I would like to see supermarkets where 5o% or more is fresh organic produce (nor processed).
I would like to see healthy people around me, and I think this is primarily achieved through a better understanding of nutrition.
i think a large number of people who are overweight, are not aware of the many causes behind their weight gain, but most are linked to processed
foods.
I would like to see a medical community that treats the body as it is, a whole system.
I would like people to be educated as to the real issues behind this.
In my opinion the real issue behind this, is processed foods and education.
I do agree that a separate and rule attitude is prevailing in both the media and politics.
As long as such attitudes are maintained we will be forever at each others throats, not acknowledging simple facts of nutrition, because of beliefs
and politics, whilst those in the background dump their toxic dog foods upon us.
