ADA POSITION
"Our position is one of looking at the scientific evidence and believing it's safe and effective and that dentists and patients should have the option," says Dr. Ron R. Zentz, senior director of the ada Council on Scientific Affairs. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Although dietary sugar intake is a big factor for the millions of people who have type 2 diabetes or peripatetic conditions, the ada advices, "If you have diabetes, ask your health professional how to incorporate chocolate into your eating plan." This sounds like "sound" medical advice. I would stay away from any of the ADA's dietary advice. You never know what kind of sickness you may develop because of it.
The truth of the matter is that real chocolate consists of largely fermented, roasted chocolate beans that are packed with nutrients. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Therefore, the diet the ada and many dieticians support is a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet.
Diabetics have religiously followed the ADA's recommendations for the past thirty-five years. In the mid-seventies, 80 percent of diabetics were dying from cardiovascular disease. And as we enter the new millennium, 80 percent of diabetics are still dying from cardiovascular disease.9 Shouldn't this warrant some reconsideration of our approach?
Once we understand that we need to treat the underlying resistance to insulin, we recognize that carbohydrates are the main concern. |

One year after the ada statement, a study published in the journal Diabetes divided 180 people with type 2 diabetes into three groups— one group received 200 meg of chromium picol-inate a day, one group received 1,000 meg, and the third group got a placebo. |

See book keywords and concepts |  A high-fiber diet has been shown to work better in controlling diabetes than the diet recommended by the ada, and may control blood sugar levels as well as oral diabetes drugs.21 In this study, the increase in dietary fiber was accomplished exclusively through the consumption of foods naturally high in fiber—such as leafy green vegetables, granola, and fruit—to a level beyond that recommended by the ada. No fiber supplements were given. | | All participants received both the ada diet (providing 24 grams of fiber per day) and the high-fiber diet (providing 50 grams of fiber per day) for a period of six weeks. After six weeks of following each diet, tests were performed to determine blood glucose, insulin, cholesterol, triglyceride, and other values. When glucose levels were monitored over a 24-hour period, participants eating the high-fiber diet had an average glucose level that was 10% lower than participants eating the ada diet. |

The truth of the matter is that real chocolate consists of largely fermented, roasted chocolate beans that are packed with nutrients. The word "chocolate" comes from the Aztecs of Mexico, who called it "bitter water." They associated chocolate with the goddess of fertility. It was always used as a beverage, never as a solid food. Its numerous benefits were known to them. |

See book keywords and concepts | | The ada was encouraged to sponsor the DCCT study, emphasizing tight control and encouraging (if not demanding) the use of home blood glucose monitoring equipment. Severaltimes-a-day monitoring was recommended, and frequent Ale readings were required. (Ale is a test for glycosylated hemaglo-bin — a measure of average blood sugar levels over a three-month period.) Because faster-acting, less predictable insulins were used in the DCCT, diabetics quickly became human pin cushions. Early results from Europe showed the frequency of monitoring necessarily increased in order to maintain tight control. | | The list includes:
• AMCYTE presents successful regenerative islet data to ada convention,

Those empowered to be the Food Police — the FDA, the ada, the USD A, and even your MD —are actually dictating from a bully pulpit. The media in the previous chapter continue to promote their government and paid advertisers.
In fact, you will often hear that the average doctor has less nutritional training than a home economics/food science major in college. The USDA, which advises America on the proper choice of food and daily consumption, frequently changes their recommendations (i.e., the food pyramid, in its various forms). |

Too Profitable to CureBrent Hoadley, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Once a "wonderful new insulin" hits the marketplace, the pharmaceutical companies—with high-priced public relation campaigns — convince the ada, doctors, hospitals, noted clinics, and patients that the diabetic's life will now be "much better." All of these, except the diabetic patient, often benefit from an inflow of corporate dollars in the form of contributions, advertising, research grants, sponsorship, and other unqualified perks. Therefore, their promotion and/or endorsement of a "wonderful new insulin" is not necessarily unbiased or fact-based, but is certainly profit-driven. |

Zentz points to two studies (the Children's Amalgam Trials), in particular, that compared the use of amalgam with composite dental fillings in children. The studies found no differences in IQ, memory, attention, kidney function or other measures between the children who had amalgam fillings and the children who had composite fillings. |

See book keywords and concepts |  In one example, the CSPI revealed a conflict of interest involving the American Dietetic Association (ADA), which publishes "Nutrition Fact Sheets" that defend fast foods, the fake fat Olestra, and starch-filled baby foods, and a position paper that gave sugar a clean bill of health. The ada has acknowledged that McDonald's, Procter & Gamble, and Gerber underwrote these Nutrition Fact Sheets, and that one of the co-authors of its paper exonerating sugar was a scientific advisor to the Canadian Sugar Institute. |
Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  I refused to have myself quoted saying that refined carbs and sweets were okay. The ada is saying that it doesn't matter what kind of sugar you eat. They're saying that sugar, simple carbs, complex carbs are all the same. They're not all the same.
"If you eat refined sugar, you get nothing, no nutrients, no vitamins, nothing," Dr. Schwarzbein explains. "It's already predigested into sugar. It's just a disaccharide—two sugar molecules put together. It goes right through your system, right into your portal vein, and your insulin levels get really high. | | We're concerned that many of the group's fans may misinterpret the ADA's dietary advice to their detriment and wrongly assume that it's fine to consume an abundance of refined carbs instead of wholesome, intact carbs. Despite our disappointment, we're hopeful that this very needed, influential, and inspiring organization will, at some point soon, change its recommendations.
Renowned endocrinologist Diana Schwarzbein, M.D., who has helped many diabetics at her Endocrinology Institute of Santa Barbara, is one physician who finds the American Diabetes Association position insupportable. | | Vague as the ada directive was, the statement did at least recommend that people should heed the message for all Americans—to choose "a diet moderate in sugar."
But this last caveat notwithstanding, we—along with a number of forward-looking physicians interviewed for this book—wish that the American Diabetes Association would go even further in its recommendations. | | The ada also contended that "research studies show that, gram for gram, sugars, like table sugar, do not raise blood glucose any more quickly than do other carbohydrates, like potatoes, rice, or pasta. | | Patti LaBelle, ada spokesperson and author of Patti's Pearls
Their thesis, based on previous work, was that it is largely the glucose content of the diet that raises blood glucose. Starches are 100 percent glucose whereas fruit sugar and milk sugar are only 50 percent glucose.
In the course of doing this research, Dr. Gannon and Dr. | | Walter Willett of Harvard believes that "the ada is way behind the science on this issue. They fail to recognize the advantages of high-fiber, low-glycemic carbohydrates compared to refined starches."
The facts are obvious, Dr. Willett insists. "Sweets and high-glycemic carbs, including white bread, white rice, and potatoes, have adverse metabolic effects on blood insulin and lipids. As would be expected, they contribute to excess risks of type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease. |

That last sentence is notable. The ada does, indeed, have a close financial relationship with the makers of Nutrasweet. It's no surprise to learn that the ada heavily promotes the use of aspartame and works to suppress information critical of aspartame while also stalling the approval of safer alternatives such as stevia (an herbal sweetener that will be discussed in detail later). |

Any more than this - like the amount in high-protein diets - could cause long-term health problems, such as high cholesterol. The wrong kind of protein can cause health problems, too. Some sources are loaded with saturated fat and cholesterol. The ada guidelines suggest limiting your intake of saturated fats, found in meat, egg yolks, whole milk, butter, and cheese, to less than 10 percent of your daily calories.
