Ainakin virallisista ravitsemussuosituksista tiede on melko kaukana. Nina Teicholzin mukaan ne ovat 90-prosenttisesti politiikkaa.

In the Sunday Nation (April 23), Ms Dennet, a registered dietician, informed that healthy eating and an active lifestyle don’t guarantee a longer life (diabetes and heart disease mentioned). I concur, but that’s only because mainstream healthy-eating advice is “fatally” flawed.
Who are registered dieticians? They belong to associations worldwide that follow the dictates of their US association. 
A few years ago that US association was exposed as a totally corrupt, self-appointed organisation, fully funded by food growers and manufacturers of beverages, processed foods and confectionaries, by fast-food companies, by a biotech giant, and indirectly by Big Pharma. After being exposed, they quickly changed their name to the important-sounding Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. 

“It’s an inherent potential conflict of interest that Dr. Katz takes hundreds of thousands of dollars from food companies with high-sugar products, such as Hershey’s, Quaker Oats, the Western Sugar Association and the Coca-Cola Company, while also selling a supermarket rating system that makes recommendations about what to eat,” Teicholz said.
According to Katz’s CV, Hershey’s has paid him more than $731,000 for research, and Quaker Oats had paid him more than $633,000. He has also received funds from Kind Bar and Chobani.

Tyypin 2 diabetesta on aiemmin pidetty vain aikuisten sairautena. Kuitenkin viime vuosina taudin esiintyvyys yhä nuorempien keskuudessa on kasvanut ja nykypäivänä tautiin voi sairastua jo lapsuusiässä. Suurimpana syynä kielteiselle kehitykselle ovat lasten kasvava ylipaino, epäterveelliset ruokailutottumukset ja vähäinen liikunta.
