Sugar addiction
True root cause of conditions
People looking incredible when changing diet
Bright eyes are the real barometer

Better blood markers across the board
Improved blood pressure
Fear that such good data would draw accusations of fraud
Prof. Roy Taylor doing the stats
Data allows you to be taken seriously
Data on more than 300 patients now
“It’s not sustainable” - patients have been doing it successfully for years
“Cholesterol will go way up” - Lipid profile improves across the board
“Blood pressure will get worse” - 20% of all BP medicated patients have come off completely
Salt got the blame for what the sugar did
“It’s a middle class diet”
Acknowledging addiction vs fat shaming
