Is Pre-Diabetes
Disease Mongering?
I have, personally,
in the course of my
professional work, come
across an alarmingly
high number of people
who are diagnosed with
Pre-Diabetes and who
are also on medications

using dietary changes,
one has to ask what are the motives
for health authorities to widen the
criteria. Is it so that pharmaceutical
companies can have a huge new
market for their products? Asking
these questions opens the proverbial
‘can of worms’, so it may be prudent
to leave you to ponder the questions
it raises. There is much verifiable
information to show that people
diagnosed with Pre-Diabetes can
quite happily revert to a healthy state
with dietary changes, which includes
eating more ‘real’ food and less
processed food products. It’s fairly
simple really.

foods!
