About this audiobook
Learn the history and value of the lost food group, taken away nearly a century ago, and how it matches breastmilk.
For two hundred years, scurvy looked like a disease. Sailors wasted away from it, doctors theorized about it, and nobody could cure it — until it turned out the body wasn't broken at all. It was just missing one nutrient. The fix wasn't a drug. It was a food.
A research group is now asking whether something similar might be hiding in plain sight with blood sugar.
The book's idea is simple to state: the system that governs appetite, metabolism, and mood has specific dietary requirements, and one of its key inputs was pushed out of the food supply almost a century ago. Treat that as a hypothesis, and a lot of "mystery" chronic conditions start to look like an underfed system - a missing input.
They're testing the science in the open — A1C-Challenge.org, a free, crowd-sourced 4-week study anyone can join — and laying out all the evidence to read, challenge, or dismiss.
