The obesity crisis and the rise in the number of cases of diabetes should be laid firmly at the doors of the scientists, who some four decades ago(it may even be more than that) persuaded us to believe that dairy products...butter. cream, eggs cheese was bad for us...and that we would all be healthier if we gave them up in favour of healthier products.
Now we are being told that had we not followed their advice we would have fewer diabetics, and the population would be slimmer and healthier.
My mother is a type 2 diabetic.....her diabetes was brought on by a seeing her little pet dog mauled by a large alsatian.
She is not obese(could be considered a little overweight since she has shrunk in height) but her weight has remained the same for more than 30 years.
