Dr. Richard Jacoby | The Toxic Effects of Sugar & The Corporate Food Conspiracy
Taiwan Diabetes Study, Luan Island Indigenous People
During a 1981 visit to Taiwan at the request of the Surgeon General, Dr. Jacobi observed that diabetes was virtually non-existent until the introduction of American fast food in 1979. He notes a genetic link between the indigenous people of Luan Island and American Indians. Despite these genetic similarities, the disease only manifested once their traditional eating habits were replaced by processed sugars and high fructose corn syrup.
