Walt Cross : How to address diabetes

Type 2 Diabetes is not the result of a lack of insulin. It is the product of diet and lifestyle choices that cause the body to become resistant to insulin.

Have you ever had just one Oreo cookie? What you should know is that the producing company spent millions of dollars developing a formula that contains 23 different appetite stimulants and 11 artificial colors to make certain you “can’t eat just one.” When the naturally occurring fiber in whole food is removed and appetite stimulants are added, people almost automatically overeat. Some of the commonly known appetite stimulants are sugar, aspartame (NutraSweet), MSG, and fat (especially deep-fried). Most people do not realize that appetite stimulants in foods are covered under the category of “artificial and natural flavorings.”

Foods found on shelves of stores should sustain the good health of the consumer—only “live” foods should be consumed. The heart of the matter, however, is that high profits can only be made with long shelf life foods. Children’s “cereals” have an indefinite shelf life. So do potato chips, soft drinks, and pancake mixes.

Companies are more concerned about the shelf life of their products than about the shelf life of those who eat those products. Children, not to mention most adults, are very vulnerable to all the trickery of advertising and are thus beckoned into indulging in empty calories that do not provide proper nourishment, only a wider girth.

Diabetes can be prevented and it can also be beaten!

A low-fat, plant-based diet and exercise can reverse diabetes and allow persons to discontinue their insulin medication. This has been proven time and time again. It’s time to eat “foods-as-grown”, prepared with as little fat, sugar, and salt as possible.

The Master Designer knows what is best for us—He made the food for us which is different from what corporations do with food. Let us not have our taste buds and health manipulated by greedy food industries.

Ellen White says this in Ministry of Healing, 310:

"Our bodies are Christ’s purchased possession, and we are not at liberty to do with them as we please. All who understand the laws of health should realize their obligation to obey these laws which God has established in their being. Obedience to the laws of health is to be made a matter of personal duty. We ourselves must suffer the results of violated law. We must individually answer to God for our habits and practices. Therefore the question with us is not, ‘What is the world’s practice?’ but, ‘How shall I as an individual treat the habitation that God has given me?”

Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness (Ecclesiastes 10:17)!
