The Current State of Health Crisis

There is a significant health crisis in the United States, with 50 million Americans facing autoimmune conditions and a staggering 93% experiencing metabolic issues, including insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. The prevalence of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer is alarming, indicating a need for urgent intervention. These conditions are exacerbated by factors like poor diet, exposure to harmful chemicals in food, and unsustainable lifestyles. Differences between food regulations in the U.S. and Europe highlight the urgency, suggesting that American diets are far poorer in quality due to added sugars and artificial ingredients.
