In an article I wrote earlier this month, The Government May Want Us Dead, but I'm Personally Not Going Down Without a Fight, I said:
[T]he multi-billion dollar healthcare industry is neither "care" nor "health;" it is a strategically managed procession toward death, while using you as a guinea pig on the way to the grave. This is also true: The less money you have, the more likely you are to be grist for their mills.
The American Diabetes Association is Exhibit A as they push "National Nutrition Month" and "Diabetes Alert Day."
This is actual nutritional advice from the

American Diabetes Association.
This is a good recommendation
if the goal is to elevate glucose and
drive insulin sales.
Why would they do that? pic.twitter.com/X3z3fPzrrh
The ADA is fully on board with the American Dietary Association's Whole Plate concept (formerly the Food Pyramid).
The science I've seen suggests a low carb diet can play a big role in diabetes and reduce the need for insulin. But a 25 % carb diet is a long way away from that. Why is the American Diabetes Association recommending this? https://t.co/46zhutgm5Y pic.twitter.com/c5o426Bo6P

What I find more fascinating is the spokespeople the ADA parades on video don't look very healthy — Dr. Bob, for instance.

And then there is Stacey Krawczyk, the ADA's director of nutrition & wellness.

Krawczyk has a master of science and is a registered dietician, which doesn't mean a whole lot. If you look at her LinkedIn profile, she spent seven years at Kellogg as a marketer and director and then did consultancy stuff, like working for a soybean concern, before she hitched her wagon to the ADA. Not a whole lot of one-on-one patient interaction or meal planning in that resume, which makes a difference when you are supposed to be trained in ways to use food to combat chronic illness.
When my husband was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, the meal plan the "nutritionists" recommended had little nutrient density and was full of carbohydrates and sugars. All it did was cause him to flare up constantly, not to mention he developed kidney stones. We spent way too much time in the emergency room that first year of his diagnosis. I decided to search for our own solutions in my wellness community, and I began incorporating anti-inflammatory foods coupled with Ayurvedic principles (eating seasonally) and a diet heavy on meat and fish. Lo and behold, his health improved, and the visits to the ER ended. All that to say, just because you have dietician or nutritionist in your title, doesn't mean you are actually skilled at creating health-focused meal plans. Krawczyk's career appears to be one where she force-feeds bad science on people with the goal of maintaining poor health outcomes that require pharmaceutical management. In the case of diabetes, that would be selling Metformin, insulin, and Ozempic. The majority of the ADA X (formerly Twitter) feed is shilling about a test to take to see if you're pre-diabetic (reminds me of the push for COVID testing) and on-the-go diabetes management supplies. Really?!

And just who funds the ADA? Who are their corporate "partners?" None other than Eli Lilly and Norvo Nordisk, the makers of insulin and Ozempic, and Medtronic, which supplies diabetic pumps and blood testing kits. With friends like this, who needs good health?
There is NO SUCH THING as "well managed type 2 diabetes", it is a lie designed to sell you pills and injections.

Journalist and nutritionist Nina Teicholz also discussed Krawczyk's background on her Substack, along with the ADA's hypocrisy and doublespeak on "managing" diabetes.
Stacey’s previous jobs include seven years as a “business partner” and senior manager in nutrition at the Kellogg Company. In this 2018 video, she gives a talk to young women on how to be healthy and then has a few volunteers come forward to help her promote Kellogg’s Special K.
Telling a diabetic to eat carbohydrates and ‘cover” them with insulin is like advising someone with a nut allergy to eat nuts with an Epipen nearby. It works, but is it the best option? Insulin causes weight gain and ever-worsening diabetes, leading to such conditions as blindness, limb amputation, kidney failure, heart disease and death six years earlier than non-diabetic peers. By contrast, restricting carbohydrates has been shown in clinical trials to reverse the disease within weeks.
One TikToker discussed Krawczyk's X post and alluded to ways the ADA is funded, too.
@healthwithoutrisk In a recent video, the American Diabetes Association’s new director of nutrition teaches how to get type 2 diabetes in 54 seconds. She came from Kellogs. #type2diabetes #nutrition #pasta #bread #carbs #ninateicholz #healthwithoutrisk ♬ original sound - Health Without Risk
One of the best things about the communities that actually focus on promoting health and wellness is that they love to share their stories and information and debunk the government propaganda. After being ratioed into next Tuesday, the ADA decided to limit the replies on Krawczyk's post. So, many people simply tagged them with their before and after results on how they regained their health after tacitly ignoring the ADA's advice.
Thank you #ADA American Diabetes Association@AmDiabetesAssn

Had I followed @AmDiabetesAssn guidelines, I'd be on several meds by now just like my siblings. I was never obese but I was prediabetic.

There are a ton of other posts just like these, and it is glorious. People who have regained their sanity, health, and freedom from sickness and disease are pushing back against the health industrial complex and Big Pharma. Like me, they decided they were not going to let the government decide how they lived or when they died.
Love him or hate him, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is making food safety and fighting Big Pharma a part of his presidential platform, and this is a good thing.
Extremely based that someone is speaking onstage at the RFK Jr. VP announcement about gut microbiome and toxins in the food supply.

While he would not be my cup of tea for a president, Kennedy has spoken up and fought against corporate and government takeover of our food and health systems and will continue to fuel conversations about it. Americans need to be more aware about the collusion of so-called healthcare and their too-comfortable relationship with government, as well as learn the ways that they can take back control of their health before it's too late.
