First the government decided to start taxing fast food so then the official stance on obesity changed to where being fat is a good thing. Now Diabetes has nothing to do with sugar, after a nice gift from a lobbyist of course!
American Diabetes Society Has Been Bought Off By Junk Food & Soft Drink Lobby

After Sweet Industry Gift, Am. Diabetes Assn. Claims Sugar Has Nothing to Do With Diabetes
WASHINGTON -- May 16 -- After the American Diabetes Association received a large gift from major manufacturer of sugar-sweetened beverages, its top medical official is claiming that sugar has nothing to do with diabetes. In an interview published in todayıs Corporate Crime Reporter, Richard Kahn, the chief scientific and medical officer with the American Diabetes Association said "What is the evidence that sugar itself has anything to do with diabetes? There is no evidence," On April 21, the ADA announced a "three-year, multi-million dollar alliance" with Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages, which produces sweetened soft drinks that are implicated in the epidemic of obesity and diabetes in the United States. Its parent company is Cadbury Schweppes, which is the third largest soft-drink manufacturer in the world, after Coca-Cola and PepsiCo. "Saying that sugar has nothing to do with diabetes is like saying that tobacco has nothing to do with emphysema," said Gary Ruskin, executive director of Commercial Alert. "The American Diabetes Association has been so corrupted that they have sunk to the mentality of tobacco scientists' who denied the link between tobacco and lung cancer." Incredibly, when Kahn was asked whether sugary drinks have anything to do with diabetes, he responded "No one has a clue of whether they do or don't." There is ample evidence linking diets high in sugar, and sugary drinks, with obesity. For example, a study in the Lancet, titled "Relation Between Consumption of Sugar-Sweetened Drinks and Childhood Obesity: a Prospective, Observational Analysis" found that the likelihood of obesity in children "increased 1.6 times for each additional can of sugar-sweetened drink that they consumed every day."
Today's Corporate Crime Reporter interview is posted at: http://www.corporatecrimereporter.com/diabetes051605.htm More information about the American Diabetes Association-Cadbury Schweppes "alliance" is available at: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/050421/dcth002.html?.v=7 Commercial Alert is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to keep the commercial culture within its proper sphere, and to prevent it from exploiting children and subverting the higher values of family, community, environmental integrity and democracy.

American Diaabtes Society was bought out 30 years ago, when they denounced a vegetarian diet would help the disease.
They want the illness to continue since it brings in about 50 billion dollars, maybe more, a year if you count all the problems associated with it.

It's almost as if you just have to think the exact opposite of everything that they say, kind of like this administration since you know that they are lying. It's sad when the only way to the truth is by not believing what you're actually being told. It's easily controllable and gullible clowns like those found over at Mav's brainwash center though that help the illuminati stay afloat.

Maverick's Craphouse is only a Micro view of 1/2 of our society. The only reason people behave and think like that is because of a significant number of other Automatons.
Standard doctors will still tell you to eat meat and drink milk with Diabetes, even though they, and refined carbs are the worse thing for ANYBODY, not just diabetics. The ADA has been a joke amongst natural healers for as long as I can remember, much like the American Cancer Society. Disease is BIG business. I recently heard that the Medical Industrial Complex takes in $750 Billion a year in the US alone. Of course they don't want people smoking reefer for glaucoma, taking Hawthorne for Blood Pressure, Wheatgrass for Cancer, and carrot juice for calcium. For instance, an 8 oz glass of carrot juice has 2X the amount of calcium that milk has, no hormones, and lower protein load. Must easier to assimilate. Ever wonder why the countries with the highest consumption of dairy, has the highest amount of osteoporosis? Do you ever see a commercial for "Got Carrots?" Aborigines consume ZERO milk, yet never get bone problems.
