Diabetics, Are Acids Eating You Up? High Acidic Foods Can Turn Off the Insulin

Microbiologist and scientist, Dr. Robert O. Young made an astonishing discovery. Conducting research in conjunction with the Johns Hopkins Medical School, Dr. Young was looking for the causes of disease. Not only did he discover the cause of diabetes, his findings are providing the key to unlocking the real causes of a host of other ailments.

Dr.Young found that the reason the pancreas stops manufacturing insulin that carries glucose to our body cells, and why sometimes the cells refuse to accept the energy-giving glucose, is because of the high acidic content in the blood. He believes that if we reduce the acid intake from the foods we eat, or neutralize these acids by eating foods with high alkalinity, better health will be the outcome.

Good health grows on trees!

These discoveries sent shockwaves through the scientific community. But the major drug companies took little notice. Why? Because the drugs they manufacture for the treatment of myriad illnesses including diabetes are a multi-billion dollar business. We can't have people curing themselves by increasing their intake of fruits and vegetables, now can we. The drug companies can't patent something that grows on bushes and trees.

Numerous sources suggest that green vegetables assist significantly in restoring good health. Many plant foods have a cleansing and alkalizing effect on the body, but processed and refined foods (including fast foods) often increase the levels of acidity and unhealthy toxins. Medical science is slowly beginning to recognize the devastating effects of excess acids in the body, since they appear to be the underlying cause of many diseases.

What is acidic in nature may not be inside your body

Where a degree of confusion exists is the fact that some foods, like many citrus products and tomatoes are acidic in nature but become alkaline when we eat them. Today many people maintain a diet primarily comprised of acid-forming foods, such as sugar, animal meat, some dairy products, breads, etc. rather than green plant foods. While only a very few fruits vegetables are acidic when eaten, most animal meats are.

So is this article suggesting you become a vegetarian? NO WAY! But how many overweight, diabetic vegetarians do you know?

Early on it was stated here that we should reduce acid intake or neutralize acids by balancing them with alkaline foods. Here are a few alkaline foods that may already be in your diet: Asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers, beets, lettuce, collards, spinach and more.

If this article opened your eyes to new and important discoveries, ones your doctor may still not know about, then I urge you to get all the facts available. In order for you to make an informed decision about how to proceed from this moment on, learn all you possibly can. You see, there really is a light at the end of the tunnel.
