Diabetes treatment: not inexpensive at all
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss
Medical care in the U.S. is one expensive proposition. In fact, taking care of one's health now (and every day) is more of an insurance policy for later in life than anything you can buy on paper.Case in point: Diabetes spending is now taking one out of every eight U.S. federal health care dollars. That's more than 10% on a disease that appears to be caused more and more by unhealthy nutritional choices and overeating more than anything. Of course, I could be wrong -- but a sampling of grocery store shoppers the other day done by yours truly estimated that at least 40% of them were overweight (or obese). Take that or leave it.
Diabetes care and cancer care is continually going up and won't cease until healthier attitudes on food and drink (and the banishing of all processed foods and chemical additives) takes place. Will that happen soon? Very doubtful, as the American public continues to get hoodwinked every day.

What do you expect when almost all food contains HFCS which left unused turns directly into fat. I feel that the rise of HFCS used in products is one of the sole causes of our obesity rates. Until the government can start figuring out how to subsidize healthy choices, people are going to continue to vote with their wallets and buy the cheaper unhealthier food.
