Passionate believers in whole food plant based diets, no chemicals, minimal pharmaceutical drugs, no GMO’s. Fighting to stop climate change and extinction.
my next question is that we are speaking about diabetes and it seems like you’re all saying that we should avoid cookies with sugar and ice cream and processed food and white flour and honey and agave nectar and you know smoothies with sugar and all that
so then the obvious question that I asked hundreds of times I keep asking it because it’s just the obvious question is okay so where do we go with the subject of fruit and I guess dr. cousins I’ve asked Brenda and Brian and anna-marie this in other words if if we’re saying on one hand the whole world is saying fruits and vegetables are fantastic and fruits grow so they seem like the most natural thing
yet Brian Clements has said an Anna Marie that the fruits been hybridized and because it’s been hybridized and picked unripe that it’s really not an all-you-can-eat thing so in terms of diabetes where do you stand on fruit
so there’s about eight studies out there that I reviewed and really they weren’t as clear as we like it but there’s only three fruits it seemed not to raise blood sugar blueberries bill berries and green apples that’s it that’s what all the age studies are suggesting all the rest had some effect negative effect on the blood sugar so that’s what the studies show just as a way of thinking about it
personally I have very very little fruit in my diet for just the reasons we’re talking about the thing that I’d like to point out here when you’re dealing with a blood sugar problem it makes only really good sense medical sense and common sense not to give any form of sugar that will raise it and so that’s what we choose to do
well I do too I’m sorry I didn’t make that point I’m talking about if you don’t have Dave exactly exactly and by the way as we’ve pointed out the other day I mean she picks 300 to 400 pounds of wild fruit that’s ripe every year I’m going to come up to her house and start in now that’s a whole different thing and the sugar content is probably 1/10 that’s only for 9.4 diabetics no fruit no fruit no fruit at all
so just to clarify Gabriel if someone has blood sugar issues whether they’re pre-diabetic they’re pre-diabetic should they be eating blueberries then fruit da Sagan no fruit no fruit here I stopped I said it in Spanish I’m sorry no fruity the fruit and we’re gonna come to get done only if you don’t have diabetes and your blood Sugar’s consistently less than 100 are those three what I’m talking about blueberries bill berries and green apples not to say they have none they just have by far the lights a little different experience
and I think in our program for example in the Marshall Islands we we include moderate amounts of fruits and still see complete reversal of diabetes all the time we have I have friends that run a mastering diabetes summit and have a mastering diabetes program they’re getting reversal in people with actually quite a high fruit diet
so I think that you know there are so many different perspectives and we’re seeing success with so many different ways of going about this I think the bottom line is we completely agree on we need to get rid of animal products we shouldn’t be using the you know any concentrated sweeteners and all of that we have a little bit of a difference in our use of fruit in diabetes treatment programs and so just so you know that it’s not we’re not all a hundred percent on the same wavelength where fruit is concerned
so you’re talking about food in the United States or outside the United States well yeah I hate to say this but the fruit in the Marshall Islands a lot of it comes from the United States or Australia or other countries it’s just very small islands
so the question I’m kind of asking is as I mentioned in outside that states was the first world country and you have far more degeneration going on that what you can do in third-world countries is they have far less degeneration so not the Marshall Islands though they have one of the highest rates of diabetes yes they do
but I’m making the kind of different let me try to reframe what I think Gabriel is saying that we have several generations we’re in our fourth generation of degradation now where I happen to be in the South Pacific a lot in the past and I would probably tell you that it’s maybe the second generation of degradation there
so each generation our organ systems our pancreas our entire body’s chemistry alters and gets worse so the volatility and vulnerability in the Marshall Islands to a little bit of sugar is wildly different than a European or an American that we started to eat sugar 100 years ago so that may be the difference
and I would really question the long-term outcomes of people who were taking lots of fruit we did all of that by the way so what you’re suggesting your friends do okay very moderate amount but let’s let’s tell your friends yeah yeah the mastering not you I know you’ve not you you eat of incredible you eat the kind of diet I like a very sensible die
so she eats pretty much like we do and what’s funny we all come to the same conclusion after you do this long enough we don’t sit and talk to one another and scheme and say let’s all eat the same thing to tell people but but we all arrive at the same thing we know what fuels us
but your friends let me challenge this a bit and I want to have another way to look at it not to say that you’re wrong or they’re right and they’re I’m right we did a lot of fruit so when people came to us for the last 62 years we did an awful lot of fruit in the beginning it was a it was a fun diet to come to everyone was high we were running around giving you carrot juice giggling all day long and people would diabeetus we’re not getting well
so it was a rare rare thing they were getting well today I don’t see people who can’t get well eating a green high protein diet this is a high protein diet digestible usable protein by the way if you look at the usability digestibility absorbability we’re by far the highest protein diet on the planet Earth and protein regulates blood sugar
so we haven’t talked about how to reverse it why it’s reversing is you’re getting absorbable amino acids that go into the cell and regulate but it acts like a magnet for sugar well we’ll answer questions at the end yes so us are so worried about change oh you have to change you have to do something different
what what is the big deal if I for the next two years they are a fruit you know what’s the big deal because usually in two years I have seen their recovery force it’s so good that then I can go back and I can have my blueberries blackberries apples and TVs and you know I mean I’m not gonna have the high sugar fruits but so so what’s the big deal
I think we have to put aside this thing oh my god I’m gonna change two years look back two years what was two years I mean there’s 2018 I mean I feel like it’s 2016 it’s like it’s so fast but you are really doing this recovery in that time and that’s the time most people need to be very very strict
and that’s 60 years and between all of us I mean we have like what are you saying two hundred two hundred years experience what’s it what’s two years and just say okay if that works for so many people that I find staying out of fruit I’m staying out of all animal products and I’m getting into green juices and big salads and I having sprouts to it
what’s the big deal and I get my supplements like blue green algae and I get chlorella and I get b12 you know I add these things that will help me in there in there and the journey chlorella if you’ll come to or the Institute you see our guests they eating chlorella like candy because it really helps that sugar craving and it gives you sugar but it’s from this over eaters like I was
I could see people watching out around the world saying oh I’d rather die I’d rather eat fruit than two years of no fruit I would have been there at one point believe me
