Diabetes is not genetic

She was a beautiful woman. A patient who was easy for me to relate to. When she started to weep, I understood.

The things we’ve been telling people about diabetes being genetic is just dead wrong. Research has shown that genetic predispositions for most chronic diseases explain very little about disease.1 That’s because it’s environmental. The message this woman’s doctor sent her was that there was something broken inside of her. The truth is, we’ve been doing this to her with the abnormal environment we’ve created. This environmental shift started when our ancestors went from hunting for food, to farming. I always say that when you solve one problem, you create another. This transformation from a meat- and berry-based diet — what I call primal — to a grain-based diet has left us weak and diseased. Here’s an example of how much our food has changed… Wild wheat contained 14 chromosomes. Soon after humans started to grow domesticated crops, hybrid varieties of wheat evolved to have 28 chromosomes. Today’s genetically modified version — what I call a Frankenfood — has an amazing 42!
