As of 2012, up to 14 percent of the American population had type 2 diabetes, and as much as 38 percent were pre-diabetic. This suggests about HALF of all American adults are either pre-diabetic or diabetic.^1,2

At least 20 percent of the population in every U.S. state is also obese³ — a condition that severely predisposes you to diabetes. That said, being skinny is not a blanket assurance of health.

Recent research suggests one-third of normal-weight adults may also be pre-diabetic without knowing it.⁴ Children are also getting fatter and unhealthier.

According to recent research, 7 million children in the U.S. have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and close to one-third of these kids also have either pre-diabetes or diabetes.⁵

Great Britain has also seen a rapid rise in these conditions. In 2003, 11.6 percent of people in Great Britain were diagnosed with pre-diabetes. That number had tripled by 2011, reaching over 35 percent.

As noted by BBC News,⁶ "The world is facing an 'unrelenting march' of diabetes that now affects nearly 1 in 11 adults" worldwide. Statistics such as these point to two very important facts:

• Genetics cannot be a primary cause of diabetes

• Something we're consistently doing must be horribly wrong

In this case, that "something" is a combination of seriously flawed food choices, poor exposure to natural sunlight and lack of physical activity.
