A new study shows just how _deadly refined carbohydrates are_

(http://www.wellnessresources.com/studies/entry/refined_carbohydrates_and_inflam\

mation) –

even for a healthy person. One serving given to a lean and healthy young adult

is adequate to triple the inflammatory response to the surge in glucose. We

have known for a long time that the high glycemic/refined carbohydrates

(table sugar, white bread, etc.) are disease producing when consumed over a

period of time. However, I don’t think anyone knew that a single meal

activates

the core gene signal (NF-KappaB) that drives your body’s entire inflammation

process – even in a healthy normal-weight person. Excess NF-KappaB

activation

is the central theme of all diseases – including cancer and heart disease.

One hundred years ago Harvey Wiley, M.D. started the FDA so that we could

have an organic food supply rich in whole grains. Soon he was booted from his

position by the White House and the food industry who wanted nothing to do

with healthy food for Americans. These criminals have a century of damage on

their hands. Before he died he wrote a tell-all book: _The History of a

Crime Against the Food Law_

(http://www.wellnessresources.com/content/articles/fda_celebrates_hundred_years_\

of_pretense/) . Subtitle: The amazing story of the

national food and drugs law intended to protect the health of the people

perverted to protect the adulteration of food and drugs. Our government bought

all the copies so hardly anyone could read it!

The profits of the junk food industry and the junk grain industry have

crippled the health of our citizens. Our government has been force-feeding

this

trash on our children for the past 30 years via the school lunch program and

the food pyramid guidelines. This program has enabled refined junk food

carbohydrates, sold at considerable profit by garbage-oriented food companies,

to

be the staple of the diet for a growing child. Heads should roll – now that

their idiocy has contributed in no small part to an obesity epidemic in our

children.
