with higher amounts of sodium, preservatives, and other ingredients more commonly born in a lab rather than in nature.
Remember the theory that large pharmaceutical companies played a role in cannabis prohibition? Who benefits the most from an increase in prescriptions for drugs to treat high cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, etc?
In no way is the prohibition of cannabis (and by extension, in many cases, its nutrient rich cousin hemp) at all linked or connected to an underfunded American Heart Association accepting money from the manufacturer of CRISCO so many decades ago. In no way is it tied to the change in the food guide and its recommended diet. It is most likely a series of unfortunate events. This trip down memory lane (click here) depicts the evolution of the Canadian Food Guide. The American Food Guide’s history can be found by clicking here. Are the dots to connect on this hypothesis getting closer together and forming a line?
Is it a coincidence that a rise in conditions, such as being overweight/obese, and other conditions linked to chronic inflammation combined with the removal of a powerful and natural anti-inflammatory may be contributing factors to the increase in medical conditions shown to be linked to chronic inflammation? Remember, the endocannabinoid system appears to modulate inflammation. In other words, not long after banning a natural powerful and effective anti-inflammatory that binds with our endogenous cannabinoid system did we potentially exasperate the problem by making changes to our diet and lifestyle that appear to have contributed to increasing the risk of chronic inflammation. There are no conspiracy theories being suggested. We lacked the science back then to know that there are, as but one example, so many different cannabinoids and terpenes. It is unlikely that one could have foreseen how a change in diets and lifestyle may have contributed to increased risk of chronic inflammation and how chronic inflammation appears to be central to a “Unifying Theory Cause of Disease” (refer to source provided previously).
To test this hypothesis, on July 29, 2018 I asked none other than Dr. Verbora the following question. Please note that the question and response should
