‘… 1 in 3 with prediabetes …’

By definition everyone without diabetes is pre-diabetic. It is not a disease. A disease has to have symptoms. Whilst diabetes has symptoms, not having diabetes cannot. Pre-diabetes is an invention to justify the various parasitical prodnoses telling people how they should live their lives, and it makes more money for doctors and pharmaceutical companies.

Another example of this is gluten intolerance. This is associated with celiac disease. This is easily diagnosed, easily treated and rare - It affects about 1% of population. Yet gluten-free foods are a multi billion £ market and in the UK the level of sales of gluten free products would require that ten time more have celiac disease than actually do. But not to worry. A new ‘disease’ has been identified - ‘Non-celiac disease gluten intolerance.. Like non-diabetic diabetes, I suppose.

Much is being made about obesity being a high risk factor with SARS CoV 2, maybe so, but it should be no higher a risk factor than for other respiratory diseases, bacterial infections and other diseases. And define ‘obesity’.

Paradoxically, if obesity is the big killer it is alleged, why is it that despite the ‘obesity crisis’, life expectancy has increased and keeps increasing?

Medicine is a multi-trillion $ market - always best to remember that it has more to do with money than people’s health. Snake-oil selling has a long history.

Please don’t think I am being cynical.
