"This statement by the ada was not the first time—and certainly won't be the last—that an establishment health organization was completely off the mark. (Anyone remember the first edition of the food pyramid?)
One year after the ada statement, a study published in the journal Diabetes divided 180 people with type 2 diabetes into three groups— one group received 200 meg of chromium picol-inate a day, one group received 1,000 meg, and the third group got a placebo." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)
| "ADA in your area, at which you can participate in activities, volunteer for events, and meet other people who have diabetes. The ada main Web site also offers a link to various message boards that cover such topics as diet, exercise, diabetes in children, being newly diagnosed, and gestational diabetes.
National Diabetes Education Program
The National Diabetes Education Program is federally funded and is sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' National Institutes of Health." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)
| "So why in the world does the ada continue to support the use of amalgam fillings? One simple answer is: if you're in for an inch, you're in for a mile. What would the legal ramifications be if the ada suddenly announced that they, and all the dentists connected with them, had been wrong for well over 100 years and had been slowly poisoning all Americans? Can you spell tobacco?
3. Root canals
If a tooth's pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels becomes infected or damaged because of decay or injury, your options are often limited. Effectively, your dentist will offer you two options." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)
| "However, the ada contends that this recommendation was made despite the lack of scientific evidence of systemic health problems or toxic effects and maintains its position that dental amalgam should remain an option for patients.
ADA POSITION
"Our position is one of looking at the scientific evidence and believing it's safe and effective and that dentists and patients should have the option," says Dr. Ron R. Zentz, senior director of the ada Council on Scientific Affairs." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)
| "After they had finished their turkey with Nancy's father, they drove out to Andale, Kansas, a town northwest of Wichita, and ate another dinner, with Jerry's mother, ada, and the rest of the Jaax family in Ada's house on the edge of town, near the grain elevator. ada was a widow who lived alone in a ranch house that looked out across beautiful wheat fields. The fields were bare and planted with winter wheat, and ada sat in her chair in the living room and stared outdoors. She could not watch television because she was afraid she would see a gun." - Richard Preston, The Hot Zone: A Terrifying True Story (Get the book.)
| "A high-fiber diet has been shown to work better in controlling diabetes than the diet recommended by the ada, and may control blood sugar levels as well as oral diabetes drugs.21 In this study, the increase in dietary fiber was accomplished exclusively through the consumption of foods naturally high in fiber—such as leafy green vegetables, granola, and fruit—to a level beyond that recommended by the ada. No fiber supplements were given." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc. George Constantine, R.Ph., Ph.D. Linnea D.

3. Root canals
If a tooth's pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels becomes infected or damaged because of decay or injury, your options are often limited. Effectively, your dentist will offer you two options. You can either have the tooth pulled or the nerve removed—better known as a "root canal treatment." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)
"ADA that: Well yes, maybe some mercury does make its way into the body, but at levels that are so low it has no effect on our health. And once again, it would be miraculous indeed if that were true. Unfortunately, it is not. Like so many other toxic substances, the real problem with mercury is that it is a cumulative poison. The body holds onto a significant percentage of the mercury that enters it.
Mercury is one of the most toxic metals known—more toxic even than lead."

| "The 1906 Food and Drug Act was hijacked by the very companies that sponsor the ada today, otherwise our entire country would have an organic and wholesome food supply.
The ada fails to warn about toxic pesticides on food, chemical sweeteners, chemical-derived food colorings, synthetic bovine growth hormone, and GMO food. They never take a correct stand on any issue that would step on the toes of their primary funding, which happens to be the very same groups adulterating our food supply." - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.)
| "Therefore, the diet the ada and many dieticians support is a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet.
Diabetics have religiously followed the ADA's recommendations for the past thirty-five years. In the mid-seventies, 80 percent of diabetics were dying from cardiovascular disease. And as we enter the new millennium, 80 percent of diabetics are still dying from cardiovascular disease.9 Shouldn't this warrant some reconsideration of our approach?
Once we understand that we need to treat the underlying resistance to insulin, we recognize that carbohydrates are the main concern." - Ray D. Strand, What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutritional Medicine May Be Killing You (Get the book.)
| "After they had finished their turkey with Nancy's father, they drove out to Andale, Kansas, a town northwest of Wichita, and ate another dinner, with Jerry's mother, ada, and the rest of the Jaax family in Ada's house on the edge of town, near the grain elevator. ada was a widow who lived alone in a ranch house that looked out across beautiful wheat fields.

| "Although dietary sugar intake is a big factor for the millions of people who have type 2 diabetes or peripatetic conditions, the ada advices, "If you have diabetes, ask your health professional how to incorporate chocolate into your eating plan." This sounds like "sound" medical advice. I would stay away from any of the ADA's dietary advice. You never know what kind of sickness you may develop because of it.
The truth of the matter is that real chocolate consists of largely fermented, roasted chocolate beans that are packed with nutrients." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)
| "The new ada guidelines permit a sweet treat now and then. Just make sure to count it in your daily carbohydrate ratio. Ultimately, it's more important to watch how many carbs you eat — not what kind they are.
Protein. Another 15 to 20 percent of your daily calories in the ada eating plan should be protein. Any more than this - like the amount in high-protein diets - could cause long-term health problems, such as high cholesterol. The wrong kind of protein can cause health problems, too. Some sources are loaded with saturated fat and cholesterol." - The Editors of FC&A, Unleash the Inner Healing Power of Foods (Get the book.)

| "One year after the ada statement, a study published in the journal Diabetes divided 180 people with type 2 diabetes into three groups— one group received 200 meg of chromium picol-inate a day, one group received 1,000 meg, and the third group got a placebo. Supplemental chromium was shown to have dramatic effects on glucose and insulin variables and "significant, sustained reductions in diabetic symptoms were especially noted in those who received 1,000 meg per day."
Insulin's Little Helper
So what's the deal with chromium? Simply put, chromium is "insulin's little helper." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)
| "The diet stressed fruit, milk, bread, and very little fat, which are common dietary recommendations of the ada. Their primary function should be to find a cure for diabetes, although if anything would cause type II diabetes, it would obviously be following their recommendations.
In her book The Schwarzbein Principle (1999), Dr. Schwarzbein tells about the patients who "ate a perfect ada breakfast - a bowl of shredded wheat with non-fat milk, a banana and a glass of orange juice - and watched their blood sugar rise one hundred to two hundred points." - Dr. David W. Tanton; Ph.D., A Drug-Free Approach To Healthcare, Revised Edition (Get the book.)
| "Once it became itrefutable that mercury from the fillings was ending up in our bodies,' it then became mandatory that the ada find a new defense. Again,
'Studies have shown that within 30 days of teceiving amalgam fillings, kidney function is reduced some 50%.
2In effect, the denser the tissue, the greater the concentration of mercury.
"There have been something over 12,000 papers published to date elucidating the dangers of amalgam fillings, but the most compelling detailed the use of radioactively tagged amalgam fillings in a controlled experiment." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)
| "Having accepted fictitious mental diseases as facts, they now had to identify which of these manufactured maladies were covered, and which were not covered, under the ada. They had no trouble doing so, creating a veritable DSM-Congress—that is, a list of congressio-nally accredited mental diseases. Thus, the ada covers "claustrophobia, personality problems, and mental retardation; [but does not cover] kleptomania, pyromania, compulsive gambling, and . . . transvestism."10 Well, at least Congress agrees with me that stealing, setting fires, gambling, and cross-dressing are not diseases." - Thomas Szasz, The Medicalization of Everyday Life: Selected Essays (Get the book.)
| "L (> 200 mg/dl).
The ada criteria recommend that testing should be done in individuals 45 years of age and older and, when results are normal, should be repeated every 3 years thereafter. However, testing should be done at a younger age and more frequently in individuals with a BMI above 25 kg/m2, because obese individuals are considered more at risk of having undiagnosed diabetes. The early detection and treatment of this disease could decrease mortality and minimize complications, especially those related to renal disease, peripheral vascular disease, and cardiovascular disease [56]." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)
| "These may be especially helpful for people with type 2 diabetes who are at increased risk of heart disease. The ada recommends eating at least two servings of nonfried fish per week. (More on omega-3s throughout the book but specifically in Chapter 5.)
Soy. Available in many forms, soy has been shown to make cells more responsive to insulin, which may help control blood sugar. (More on soy in Chapter 4.)
Buckwheat. New research shows that extract of buckwheat lowered meal-related blood sugar levels by 12 to 19 percent when given to rats." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)
"The answer: Go ahead and eat sugar, but follow the ADA's recommendations. Sugar-containing foods can be substituted for other carbohydrates in the individualized meal plan. Note that this recommendation is qualified by the urging to avoid excess calorie intake.
Here are some other worthy additions to your diet if you have type 2 diabetes.
Antioxidants. A new study supports the idea that the development of type 2 diabetes may be held off with the intake of antioxidants in the diet."

"Here are some highlights from the recent ada recommendations regarding:
Fiber. People who are at risk for diabetes should aim for 14 grams of fiber for every 1,000 calories. This is about 28 grams for a typical 2,000-calorie intake or 35 grams for 2,500 calories. Fiber helps people with diabetes or at risk for diabetes in two ways: First, it seems to improve insulin sensitivity; second, it
3. Eat less saturated and total fat."

| "ADA controls). This dramatic change does not come as a result of practicing the conventional moderation approach of the Culture of Death, which in essence is a way of making denial seem reasonable. To make this kind of significant change requires a lifestyle and diet that is dramatically and excitingly different, resulting in powerful results in a short period of time. This requires leading a life of love, purpose, meaning, and self-value, and choosing a diet and lifestyle that reflect these values. Of course, this is the diet and lifestyle of the Culture of Life." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)
"Roberts, a diabetes specialist, a member of the ada, and an authority on artificial sweeteners, aspartame leads to the creation of clinical diabetes, causes poorer diabetic control in diabetics on insulin or oral drugs, causes convulsions, and leads to the aggravation of diabetic complications such as retinopathy, cataracts, neuropathy, and gastropare-sis. Dr. Roberts found "..."

| "The remaining fifty people were on the basic American Diabetes Association diet. The ada diet reduced glycosylated hemoglobin by 0.4 percent. The vegan diet was three times more effective, reducing the HgbAlc by 1.2 percentage points (one point is considered 1 percent). So the average value of gylcosylated hemoglobin fell from 8 percent to 6.8 percent during the twenty-two weeks. This is very significant. A diabetes study in the UK showed that a one-point drop in glycosylated hemoglobin with Type-2 diabetes reduces the risk of kidney or eye complications by 37 percent." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)
