I take it that everyone doing the ‘fast diet’ is health conscious and want to know what they are digesting?
My question, is anyone looking at what gmo’s are doing to us? Also what manufacturers have been putting in our foods for more than 40 years? Altered Genes, Twisted Truth (how the venture to genetically engineer our food has subverted science, corrupted government, and systematically deceived the public), Steven M. Drukker is a must! No wonder there is an epidemic of cancers and other debilitating diseases. An English investigating journalist Joanna Blythman ‘Swallow This’ revealing what is actually in manufactured foods is enough to make you think twice when feeding yourself and those you love. Back to the basics, how grandma use to cook, fresh foods, organic of course if you want to avoid gmo’s. Interesting that China has banned gmo’s and also some south american countries.
The 5/2 is a fantastic diet and if you also after reading about these subjects and move away as much as you can, your health will improve and weight will stay stable, that’s my experience for the first time in my adult life.

Thankyou for replying, it seems a very lonely road, few people in the general public seem to be interested in these subjects and that is understandable. Many to most of the serious scientific research over the last 40 years have been attacked and personally discredited by very clever corporate lawyers, I have been reading an article about monsantos top lawyer that switched between a top function with the FDA and monsanto, this very powerful chemical company so my faith in the american system of ensuring healthy products has taken a nose dive.
It’s all about profits under the guise of helping to feed the world, our future and of course generations to come, I’m appalled at how these dreadful companies have been able to bring so much misery into the world.
I also read an article that many scientists are now daring to critisize the gmo’s plus the food and drug industry, results are being published after years of research and supported by more and more scientists making it difficult for these companies to continue with these practices without negative publiciteit.
Obesity which is what the main reason is for the success of this site reaches many in different countries and from different backgrounds could help if people were aware of what they truly eat. A popular figure such as Michael Mosley would only need to mention this sublect and thousands would be eagerly investigating gmo’s and the food industry and the unhealthy effects of their behaviour on millions around this beautiful planet.

Thankyou for your reply, interesting! I too when I first heard about gmo’s and how they could supply food for our ever increasing populations could solve so many problems was a great fan for future generations. one of the books that made me think again was ‘Altered genes, twisted truth’, followed by more articles and books from what seems to be from reputable scientists. What I do have no doubts about is that these crops have been dowsed with Roundup, active ingredient being glyphosate which is not the most healthy of the chemicals (agent orange) and the chemical company that put this together is now one of the largest seed producers, nice combination! How long does glyphosate stay in the ground? What I’ve read…. 7 years or more that they know, that in combination with the new seeds also being contaminated.
Anyway, I’m not a scientist, or a biologist but if the DNA of a plant is Altered and fed to animals does it alter the DNA of the animal and how does it effect our DNA? my conclusions are from information supplied by to many to mention. We all have our OWN paths to follow, caution would seem a good way to go. The chance that anything is 100% safe is extremely doubtful, we have to use our commonsense! My problem with the subject of gmo’s is we won’t have a choice actually talking about choices, what are your ideas about ‘sugar’ try doing a weekly shop without this wonderful item being added, fat in our food was a big ‘ no, no’ for how many years,? Its taken decades for us to be informed that there is nothing healthy in sugar but at least we have a choice, we are now more informed and question policies made by our ‘experts’ so that we can hopefully make good choices but with gmo’s our power to choose is being taken away!

Thankyou, profits are the most important factor for so many
