America, The Land Of Obesity?

Dr. Royal Lee was the founder of the Standard Process Company, famous for its whole-food supplements organically grown on its own farms.

Lee was at least 100 years ahead of his time. He spent most of his life in confrontation with the Food and Drug Administration and U.S. agricultural authorities. He probably never knew that the people trying to channel his great work were the big pharmaceutical houses fronted by the FDA.

Lee didn’t realize at the time that his whole-food formulations were in direct competition to the drug houses. Lee organized a science of nutrition that would have replaced the drug culture, if left alone. He understood that drugs don’t heal, but whole foods do.

Lee died in 1967, a half century before the obesity epidemic that is going on today. But he foresaw our day and the obesity of most of the population.

Lee said that fructose corn syrup is not processed by the human body normally. It bypasses the pancreas, causing quick obesity and diabetes. He predicted that within 50 years we would be a Nation of obesity and diabetes.

Can we look out and see it?
