When every species gets the same disease, is it an epidemic or a pandemic? Reversing the obesity, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes epidemic is today’s most important public health challenge.
Every single species exposed to the standard American diet becomes overweight, pre-diabetic, or diabetic type 2. It takes a conscious effort to prevent and reverse this. Something in our nutritional intake is defeating our normal regulatory mechanisms.
Less than 12.2% of the population is metabolically healthy. If any other disease or impending catastrophe were going to injure nearly 88% of the US population, I guarantee that someone would have declared a true national emergency.
