An Inside Look into the Dark Side of the Soda Industry — El Susto by DocoCentral YouTube channel
I’m watching this documentary and that quote I put in the title blew my mind. Could it be? Processed food is everywhere… what isn’t processed these days? I do not know the name of the man who said it but the timestamp for it is 14:10.

Frankly, our modern lifestyles are not healthy. Anyway, we need to go back to the cave and hunt to fix it.
Processed Food Poisoning
The Aboriginals in Australia are dealing with much the same problem.
Nope, much easier for people with low willpower to say “I’m diabetic” than to stop stuffing their faces with junk food.
As someone who developed Type II diabetes in my 30s, I will say blaming processed food is a cop out. In my 20s, I was very active, playing hockey, softball, squash, and golf. But I got married at 30, and my wife didn’t like sports, so I became a couch potato, and quickly put on a lot of weight. At my worst, I was 5’10” and 265 lbs.
I had to take four shots of insulin each day, plus pills, and things were getting worse. I finally got tired of it all, and went on Intermittent Fast (IF) six years ago. Quickly lost 25 lbs, and suddenly, didn’t need as much insulin. Kept at it, lost another 40 lbs, and then I didn’t need insulin at all.
I haven’t had a shot of insulin in nearly six years, and my weight is 192 today. Everything is managed by a few pills, and the diet. To be sure, I don’t eat near as much junk food as I used to, but I still eat some ice cream and cookies, just in moderation now.
For many, Type II is a self-inflicted disease, and the cure is pretty simple – lose some weight, and exhibit some self-control. Processed food in and of itself is not the culprit.
