Diabesity and How Food is Medicine by Mark Hyman, M.D. (@markhymanmd

• Mark has written six NY Times best sellers. He is dedicated to transforming healthcare by tackling the root causes of chronic illness through functional medicine. Here are some of his best lines: “We are exporting our toxic industrial food life style.” “40% of kids are overweight and 25% of teens have pre-diabesity.” “Most doctors don’t think that food can cure disease. Food is a drug.” “All diseases are connected as they are part of the same system. Health happens if you take out the bad stuff. Treat the system, not the symptom.” “Eat more plants and less animals.” “Our intestines contain 500 species of intestinal flora, and they only eat what we do.” Don’t eat trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, MSG, added sugar (which is more addictive than cocaine), diet soda (which is worse for you than real soda), and flour. Eat avocadoes, fish oil, protein in the morning, and vitamin D. You can’t exercise your way out of a bad diet.
