We need an all-out campaign aimed at convincing people to stop overdosing on carbs & mainly eat real, unprocessed food & avoid 90% of the crap in grocery stores. Think that will ever happen? If not, metabolic disease is going to overwhelm the system in short order.

or we can realise that an awful lot of chronic diseases are not caused from life style entirely and you could get off your self proclaimed 'look at me I am perfect' band wagon and try to help without judgement... your type of person turns people off listening to the info when delivered with such self righteousness.... so now that all-out campaign of yours... how much money will be wasted preaching AT people and how much of that money could be used more practically.... edit:....love when people edit a comment after someone picks them up on what they say

You can't "overdose on carbs", obviously. On the other hand, there is substantial evidence that a whole-food *plant*-based diet reduces the risk of most chronic diseases substantially. Just trust to the science, not the You Tube videos.

I would rather not get the tax cut that the government want to put through instead I want it to go to schools and the heath system.

As a person who works in health. I want a private medical industry. The public system is just a waste of money!

Back in the day we used to get full of two meals s day, nowadays the kids are opening the fridge every two hours, either something is wrong with the stomachs or the food.

@igeto12 I agree, we got something in our mouths all the time like goat's. My brother used to be into bodybuilding untill he got digestive problems because of 'bulking' and making sure not to miss a meal. Now he just eats when he's hungry and his problem has gone away after many years of bowel problems.

@igeto12 The quality of food is different too. Everything is pumped full of sugar now and when you eat it it triggers the dopamine (rewards) system in your brain. This leads you to keep searching for this dopamine hit, eating more and more sugar filled foods. We have been lied to for so long about the effects of fat when fat is what our ancestors survived on. We need to become more aware as a nation of the dangers of sugar.

The government seriously needs to put more money towards mental health.

How about GPs' give-out a small printout on "How to understand and take command of your palate", How to find and develop an understanding of neutral foods and develop and enjoy a diet mostly of neutral foods, it takes a few weeks, but is quite easy to do and they don't cost any-more, allowing the minimising of sugar spikes in the diet?". Excess sugar doesn't "just lead to diabetes", it's a massive part of the total health bill :(

​@@8calcifer I'll drink to that :) But the Mediterranean diet doesn't address the issue of ever more added sugar - Only understanding your palate will do that (what I call "A Palate-Shunt") ?

i love how it brings up us being stuck in the past AS YES! That's my and my family's biggest fight... Also lol to them saying chronic disease, as it's wrong, it's chronic illness not disease like the drs keep saying(kinda proves the being stuck in the past part lol) , as some aren't diseases... As someone with a huge list of chronic illnesses (because as my drs say a lot, when one part of the body has a fit the rest of the body follows) hence why so many of us with chronic illness have several and not just one. For my main condition that caused my other chronic illnesses, australia is the most behind in the world for treating it and also how drs even listen to patients with it as in the last 5-10 years there was a HUGE update to the research into it and much of what was known in the past was proven as wrong, but drs still seem obsessed with the old of this condition and they REFUSE to listen to myself, my family or even my other drs when they are wrong about the condition and the problem with that is then it goes on my file as ''mental health'' often any time I end up in the ED. I end up in the ED a lot, or more I did until my family and I got sick of having to fight to point I ended up sicker for just to be treated. Put it this way all the people in Aus with my condition EDS, POTS and Gasteroporisis say that it is best to actually visit the UK, Canada or even the US as otherwise you just never get the treatment needed. Over there they at least listen to the new research and updates to the medical knowledge of the conditions... We actually have to now travel from QLD to NSW just to finally get drs to test and treat me correctly so agree where you live is a massive impact as many of my QLD drs are just unable to do the tests because there is no funding for it here in QLD but is NSW. Also down there they actually listen to the patient and our carers of what our symptoms are, rather than drs up here TELLING US what my symptoms are and making us go around in circles until my health is so bad i'm hospitalized and only get a patch up to essentially not a place where my condition is actually managed but enough of a band-aid they get me out of the system for a few weeks.... but yes for chronic illness australia IS BEHIND! not only in research because the system and many drs refuse to listen to anything done outside of aus, but also the system in how it is not about actually treating chronic illness so we won't have to come back for some time, but just so that we are treated so badly mentally and are made sicker by not being treated and told its ''mental'' or ''in our heads'' even though on paper we're diagnosed with all these conditions with test proof that prove its not that at all... because it's easier on the drs than bothering to treat the complexity of our bodies... there's a reason I was diagnosed with hospital PTSD after being treated that way over half my life and even now still get that treatment which is disgusting and barbaric in a country like australia and I know many of my friends with chronic illnesses are going through exactly the same fight here.

2/3 of chronic disease isn't preventable. But that doesn't mean throw up your hands up and don't do anything, because 1/3 of it is preventable. Interventions to improve people's health improve their quality of life in the here and now, make them live longer, more productive lives, and saves the health system money. So I'm for any intervention that aims to (and is shown to be effective at) reducing lifestyle factors of disease. But let's keep it evidence-based, please.

"Cures for profit" is a great term, used elsewhere :) a bit like the lawyers phrase "Justice starts when the money runs out"

I understand people from lower socioeconomic areas have greater health issues. I would suggest their is more to this than just a lack of money.

HMMMMMMMMMMMM

Stop deluding people and stop calling them GPS. It is illegal to call yourself a GP unless you have successfully completed training given by the RACGP. Propaganda otherwise. Offensive and stupid.

Its pretty hard to deny the evidence that over consumption of meat and animal products is the leading cause of chronic disease. I dont think you will believe me but just do your own subjective research and decide for yourself. Of course refined sugars are also factors and processed foods in general. I like to listen to drs like Garth Davis or Michael Klaper or the countless other medical professionals who promote plant based diets. Better to get advice from them rather than some random youtuber right?
