And that ignorance is an accomplice in the every increasing cost of healthcare. Talking about healthcare without talking about health is silly. Yet that's what we do.

iiuc simple carbs are main reason of three big ones, heart problems, cancer and diabetes. Seen more research linking it. And no one is talking about yet
Please allow me to clarify just a bit: No one mainstream in a position of power/influence is talking about it.

Sure we got ACA but that was only half the opportunity. The other half was telling the American people The Truth about their diet/lifestyle, and how that effects the cost of healthcare (to say nothing about the quality of life).

The problem is, that kind of honesty doesn't fare well with voters. It's also not good for business: Big Pharma, Food Inc., etc.

As far as I can tell, yet is going to be around for a long time.
