 90% of Americans have at least one marker for metabolic syndrome. NINETY PERCENT. 50% of Americans are obese or overweight. More than 10% of the total population has full blown type 2 diabetes. The CDC estimates > 26% of Americans have a disability. The root cause of almost all of this is this hyper processed toxic pseudo-food.

Most countries are seeing similar trends to the US. There has never been a time in human history where the health of an average person has been so poor. And from something completely preventable and reversible (diet). Absolute insanity.
