And then they sit under a

micro-flashing fluorescent light all day long, sometimes with less natural light exposure than an inmate in a penitentiary.

And then we hit them with massive glycemic indices.

Over and over again, we pound them with things that make their insulin levels spike.

The cells don't like high sugar in the circulating system, so they try to block it.

We call it insulin resistance.

And that blockage does damage.

It's at the root of probably half the conditions we treat.

75% of health care costs go to chronic diseases.

Most chronic diseases are related to the same old problems of insulin resistance and inflammation that we get almost no education about in med school.

Which is avoidable and modifiable with diet and other things.

We never talk about that.

And then we tell a kid to sit still at a desk for seven hours, and they have trouble doing it.

In the middle of those seven hours, we hit them hard with another high-sugar, ultra-processed glycemic load.

They can't sit still for seven straight hours sitting at a desk under a fluorescent light.

And what do we do?

We say, you're a bad kid.

We're going to drug you.

Yeah, you have a behavioral disorder, a mood disorder, impulse control disorder.

Yeah, we got a whole catalog of disorders that we can assign to you.
