As an electric universe enthusiast, he has conducted independent research on topics related to space weather and solar activities predictions.<br /><br />In this program, we discuss the evidence that solar activities have strong correlation with abrupt weather conditions and tectonic activities, including storm formations, flash floods, volcanic activities and earthquakes.<br /><br />We’ll talk about the electrical properties of the earth and simple electrical theories based on laboratory experiments that explain abrupt weather conditions. Kongpop U-yen gives an outline of the basic properties of a living organism and compares it to a human body and to the body of the earth. Just like wind affects a human body, solar winds affect the planet.<br /><br />We’ll talk about what can cause electric field fluctuations and how massive amounts of water can evaporate to produce flash floods. Kongpop also speaks about Tesla wireless transmission, coronal mass ejections, sunspots and impulse signals. Later, U-Yen talks about tectonic displacement related to solar activity and the Carrington event as an example of electric grid disruption. At the end, he explains how the science to understand the space weather / disaster relationship could help predict catastrophic events and save lives. -redicecreations.com<br /><br /><a href="http://rediceradio.net/radio/2014/RIR-140214-kongpopuyen.mp3">download hour 1 mp3</a>

Salt is critical to our health and is the most readily available nonmetallic mineral in the world. Our bodies are not designed to processed refined sodium chloride since it has no nutritional value. However, when a salt is filled with dozens of minerals such as in rose-coloured crystals of Himalayan rock salt or the grey texture of Celtic salt, our bodies benefit tremendously for their incorporation into our diet.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“These mineral salts are identical to the elements of which our bodies have been built and were originally found in the primal ocean from where life originated,” argues Dr Barbara Hendel, researcher and co-author of Water & Salt, The Essence of Life. “We have salty tears and salty perspiration. The chemical and mineral composition of our blood and body fluids are similar to sea water. From the beginning of life, as unborn babies, we are encased in a sack of salty fluid.”</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“In water, salt dissolves into mineral ions,” explains Dr Hendel. “These conduct electrical nerve impulses that drive muscle movement and thought processes. Just the simple act of drinking a glass of water requires millions of instructions that come from mineral ions. They’re also needed to balance PH levels in the body.”</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Mineral salts, she says, are healthy because they give your body the variety of mineral ions needed to balance its functions, remain healthy and heal. These healing properties have long been recognised in central Europe. At Wieliczka in Poland, a hospital has been carved in a salt mountain. Asthmatics and patients with lung disease and allergies find that breathing air in the saline underground chambers helps improve symptoms in 90 per cent of cases.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Dr Hendel believes too few minerals, rather than too much salt, may be to blame for health problems. It’s a view that is echoed by other academics such as David McCarron, of Oregon Health Sciences University in the US.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">He says salt has always been part of the human diet, but what has changed is the mineral content of our food. Instead of eating food high in minerals, such as nuts, fruit and vegetables, people are filling themselves up with “mineral empty” processed food and fizzy drinks.</div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><b>Credits:</b></div><div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">This article first appeared on <a href="http://preventdisease.com/news/13/030713_Scientists-Officially-Link-Processed-Foods-To-Autoimmune-Disease.shtml" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #3b77bf; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Prevent Disease.</a></div><span style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br />Read more <a href="http://www.trueactivist.com/scientists-officially-link-processed-foods-to-autoimmune-disease/" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #3b77bf; font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">http://www.trueactivist.com/scientists-officially-link-processed-foods-to-autoimmune-disease/</a></span></div>

As Nobel-prize nominee, Dr. Robert Becker described in “The Body Electric,” our brains; our hearts and every one of the seven trillion cells in our bodies operate on electrical impulses. These minuscule electrical fields can easily be disrupted by the electropollution around us, especially when frequency <i style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">wavelength</i> is in the brainwave region (0-33 hertz), or matches up with and resonates with electrically-charged particles like ions and chemicals or organs of the body. Becker also found that healing only takes place if the current at the point of injury is negatively charged. When it turns positive, the healing process shuts down. So, even our ability to heal is fundamentally dependent upon electrical fields and thus subject to interference from ambient EMR. In the 1960s NASA found that astronauts would lose up to 50% of their bone mass in just weeks without the presence of the earth’s <i style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">natural </i>electromagnetic field.

Since the early 1960s, there has been an ongoing debate between scientists, government, industry and the military as to the health impacts on humans from electromagnetic radiation. In fact more than 16,000 studies have tackled the issue. Now, more than 6000 studies connect wireless and other EMR with more than 122 biological effects. Another 10,000 fail to find the connection.

It began with the emergence of a bevy of previously-unknown auto-immune diseases like chronic fatigue (CFS), lupus, environmental illness (EI) and fibromyalgia. Soon an explosion in neurological disorders began with Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s all showing a dramatic increase. Next, the incidence of certain cancers began to suddenly rise such as melanoma, testicular, lymphoma, breast and prostate cancers. Then, in the 1990s, ailments like diabetes, attention deficit disorder (ADD/ ADHD) and Autism began to explode.</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.65em; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br /></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.65em; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">In the past fifteen years sleep disturbances and mood disorders have sky-rocketed. In the 1970s only about 4% suffered from sleep issues. It is now closer to 60%. Meanwhile more than 18 million Americans are clinically diagnosed as depressed. Depression in children is growing at 23%.

Expectations for getting cancer were only 1 in 6; it is now 1 in 2 for men. Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis and most modern autoimmune diseases were unheard of. Neurological disorders like Parkinson’s and ALS were rare. Diabetes was only beginning to emerge and heart disease for young people was unusual.</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.65em; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br /></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.65em; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">In the previous three decades, we had extended the average life expectancy from 55 to 72 years – a 31% gain.

Almost everyone agrees that these diseases are closely associated with environmental, and/or lifestyle choices. We hear incessantly about the importance of diet and exercise; the impacts from smoking; and exposures to chemicals and other toxins in our environment. But are these the lead causes, or simply supporting actors in the emerging health drama?</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.65em; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br /></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.65em; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Millions are spent each year on research, attacking the possible causation of the big six diseases. Most of this research is approached from either a purely biological or chemical angle. Sometimes there is an interdisciplinary approach, involving experts in biology and chemistry. Yet the human organism is clearly much more than simply the sum of body parts, operating in a bio-chemical paradigm. The missing factor is the role of electrical energy and the tiny electromagnetic fields that are triggering our heart, our brain, our endocrine system and constantly transmitting messages to every cell in our body. As few scientists are trained across biology, chemistry and electricity, we are left in the dark as to the interrelationship of all three key factors. More importantly we are blinded by continuing to ignore the pivotal role of electrical disturbances transmitted from our environment that is setting off a chain of bio-chemical events that are leading to an epidemic of disease.</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.65em; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br /></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.65em; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Is electropollution the <i style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">unifying factor</i> in the exploding diseases that are making us all so sick?</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.65em; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br /></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.65em; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br /></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.65em; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><u style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><b style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">New Evidence</b></u></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.65em; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br /></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.65em; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">In the past several months, there have been two potentially landmark events that shed new light on the science, linking EMR from wireless technologies to broad health impacts, dozens of biological effects and virtually all of the currently exploding diseases.</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.65em; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br /></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.65em; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">In July 2010, a previously unrecognized collection of nearly 5000 studies linking low-level wireless signals to bioeffects was discovered by noted scientist, Magda Havas, PhD of Trent University in Ontario, Canada.

They’re convinced it’s the cause of several chronic and very common illnesses, including <a href="http://bodyandhealth.canada.com/channel_section_details.asp?text_id=6436&channel_id=2104&relation_id=85902" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; border-width: initial; color: #035a91; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><b>heart disease</b></a>,<a href="http://bodyandhealth.canada.com/channel_main.asp?channel_id=12" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; border-width: initial; color: #035a91; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><b>cancer</b></a>, <a href="http://bodyandhealth.canada.com/channel_condition_info_details.asp?disease_id=218&channel_id=11&relation_id=10899" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; border-width: initial; color: #035a91; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><b>Alzheimer’s</b></a> and <a href="http://bodyandhealth.canada.com/channel_main.asp?channel_id=1013" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; border-width: initial; color: #035a91; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><b>diabetes</b></a>.

The anti-sugar camp is not celebrating yet, however. They know what happened to Yudkin and what a ruthless and unscrupulous adversary the sugar industry proved to be.</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">The tale begins in the Sixties. That decade, nutritionists in university laboratories all over America and Western Europe were scrabbling to work out the reasons for an alarming rise in heart disease levels. By 1970, there were 520 deaths per 100,000 per year in England and Wales caused by coronary heart disease and 700 per 100,000 in America. After a while, a consensus emerged: the culprit was the high level of fat in our diets.</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">One scientist in particular grabbed the headlines: a nutritionist from the<a href="http://www.umn.edu/" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; border-width: initial; color: #035a91; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><b>University of Minnesota</b></a> called Ancel Keys. Keys, famous for inventing the K-ration - 12,000 calories packed in a little box for use by troops during the Second World War - declared fat to be public enemy number one and recommended that anyone who was worried about heart disease should switch to a low-fat "Mediterranean" diet.</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">Instead of treating the findings as a threat, the food industry spied an opportunity. Market research showed there was a great deal of public enthusiasm for "healthy" products and low-fat foods would prove incredibly popular. By the start of the Seventies, supermarket shelves were awash with low-fat yogurts, spreads, and even desserts and biscuits.</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">But, amid this new craze, one voice stood out in opposition. John Yudkin, founder of the nutrition department at the <a href="http://www.london.ac.uk/" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; border-width: initial; color: #035a91; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><b>University of London</b></a>’s Queen Elizabeth College, had been doing his own experiments and, instead of laying the blame at the door of fat, he claimed there was a much clearer correlation between the rise in heart disease and a rise in the consumption of sugar. Rodents, chickens, rabbits, pigs and students fed sugar and carbohydrates, he said, invariably showed raised blood levels of triglycerides (a technical term for fat), which was then, as now, considered a risk factor for heart disease. Sugar also raised insulin levels, linking it directly to <a href="http://bodyandhealth.canada.com/channel_condition_info_details.asp?disease_id=214&channel_id=2111&relation_id=84867" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; border-width: initial; color: #035a91; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><b>type 2 diabetes</b></a>.</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><b style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; border-width: initial; color: #035a91; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><a href="http://bodyandhealth.canada.com/channel_condition_info_details.asp?disease_id=214&channel_id=2111&relation_id=84867" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; border-width: initial; color: #035a91; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Factsheet: Type 2 diabetes</a></b></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">When he outlined these results in Pure, White and Deadly, in 1972, he questioned whether there was any causal link at all between fat and heart disease. After all, he said, we had been eating substances like butter for centuries, while sugar, had, up until the 1850s, been something of a rare treat for most people. "If only a small fraction of what we know about the effects of sugar were to be revealed in -relation to any other material used as a food additive," he wrote, "that material would promptly be banned."</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">This was not what the food industry wanted to hear. When devising their low-fat products, manufacturers had needed a fat substitute to stop the food tasting like cardboard, and they had plumped for sugar. The new "healthy" foods were low-fat but had sugar by the spoonful and Yudkin’s findings threatened to disrupt a very profitable business.</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">As a result, says Lustig, there was a concerted campaign by the food industry and several scientists to discredit Yudkin’s work. The most vocal critic was Ancel Keys.</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">Keys loathed Yudkin and, even before Pure, White and Deadly appeared, he published an article, describing Yudkin’s evidence as "flimsy indeed".</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">"Yudkin always maintained his equanimity, but Keys was a real a––-, who stooped to name-calling and character assassination," says Lustig, speaking from New York, where he’s just recorded yet another television interview.</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">The British Sugar Bureau put out a press release dismissing Yudkin’s claims as "emotional assertions" and the <a href="http://www.wsro.org/" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; border-width: initial; color: #035a91; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><b>World Sugar Research Organisation</b></a> described his book as "science fiction". When Yudkin sued, it printed a mealy-mouthed retraction, concluding: "Professor Yudkin recognises that we do not agree with [his] views and accepts that we are entitled to express our disagreement."</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">Yudkin was "uninvited" to international conferences. Others he organised were cancelled at the last minute, after pressure from sponsors, including, on one occasion, Coca-Cola. When he did contribute, papers he gave attacking sugar were omitted from publications. <a href="http://www.nutrition.org.uk/" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; border-width: initial; color: #035a91; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><b>The British Nutrition Foundation</b></a>, one of whose sponsors was <a href="http://www.tateandlyle.com/" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; border-width: initial; color: #035a91; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><b>Tate & Lyle</b></a>, never invited anyone from Yudkin’s internationally acclaimed department to sit on its committees. Even Queen Elizabeth College reneged on a promise to allow the professor to use its research facilities when he retired in 1970 (to write Pure, White and Deadly). Only after a letter from Yudkin’s solicitor was he offered a small room in a separate building.</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">"Can you wonder that one sometimes becomes quite despondent about whether it is worthwhile trying to do scientific research in matters of health?" he wrote. "The results may be of great importance in helping people to avoid disease, but you then find they are being misled by propaganda designed to support commercial interests in a way you thought only existed in bad B films."</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">And this "propaganda" didn’t just affect Yudkin. By the end of the Seventies, he had been so discredited that few scientists dared publish anything negative about sugar for fear of being similarly attacked. As a result, the low-fat industry, with its products laden with sugar, boomed.</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">Yudkin’s detractors had one trump card: his evidence often relied on observations, rather than on explanations, of rising obesity, heart disease and diabetes rates. "He could tell you these things were happening but not why, or at least not in a scientifically acceptable way," says David Gillespie, author of the bestselling <a href="http://sweetpoison.com.au/" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; border-width: initial; color: #035a91; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><b>Sweet Poison</b></a>. "Three or four of the hormones that would explain his theories had not been discovered."</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">"Yudkin knew a lot more data was needed to support his theories, but what’s important about his book is its historical significance," says Lustig. "It helps us understand how a concept can be bastardised by dark forces of industry."</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">From the Eighties onwards, several discoveries gave new credence to Yudkin’s theories. Researchers found fructose, one of the two main carbohydrates in refined sugar, is primarily metabolised by the liver; while glucose (found in starchy food like bread and potatoes) is metabolised by all cells. This means consuming excessive fructose puts extra strain on the liver, which then converts fructose to fat. This induces a condition known as insulin resistance, or <a href="http://bodyandhealth.canada.com/channel_condition_info_details.asp?disease_id=311&channel_id=2053&relation_id=108101" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; border-width: initial; color: #035a91; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><b>metabolic syndrome</b></a>, which doctors now generally acknowledge to be the major risk factor for heart disease, diabetes and obesity, as well as a possible factor for many cancers. Yudkin’s son, Michael, a former professor of biochemistry at Oxford, says his father was never bitter about the way he was treated, but, "he was hurt personally".</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">"More than that," says Michael, "he was such an enthusiast of public health, it saddened him to see damage being done to us all, because of vested interests in the food industry."</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">One of the problems with the anti-sugar message - then and now - is how depressing it is. The substance is so much part of our culture, that to be told buying children an ice cream may be tantamount to poisoning them, is most unwelcome. But Yudkin, who grew up in dire poverty in east London and went on to win a scholarship to <a href="http://www.cam.ac.uk/" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; border-width: initial; color: #035a91; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><b>Cambridge</b></a>, was no killjoy. "He didn’t ban sugar from his house, and certainly didn’t deprive his grandchildren of ice cream or cake," recalls his granddaughter, Ruth, a psychotherapist. "He was hugely fun-loving and would never have wanted to be deprived of a pleasure, partly, perhaps, because he grew up in poverty and had worked so hard to escape that level of deprivation."</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">"My father certainly wasn’t fanatical," adds Michael. "If he was invited to tea and offered cake, he’d accept it. But at home, it’s easy to say no to sugar in your tea. He believed if you educated the public to avoid sugar, they’d understand that."</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">Thanks to Lustig and the rehabilitation of Yudkin’s reputation, Penguin republished Pure, White and Deadly 18 months ago. Obesity rates in the UK are now 10 times what they were when it was first published and the amount of sugar we eat has increased 31.5 per cent since 1990 (thanks to all the "invisible" sugar in everything from processed food and orange juice to coleslaw and yogurt). The number of diabetics in the world has nearly trebled. The numbers dying of heart disease has decreased, thanks to improved drugs, but the number living with the disease is growing steadily.</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><a href="http://www.canada.com/health/fatter+than+ever/9355458/story.html" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; border-width: initial; color: #035a91; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><b>Related: Why are we fatter than ever?</b></a></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">As a result, the <a href="http://www.who.org/" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; border-width: initial; color: #035a91; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><b>World Health Organisation</b></a> is set to recommend a cut in the amount of sugar in our diets from 22 teaspoons per day to almost half that. But its director-general, Margaret Chan, has warned that, while it might be on the back foot at last, the sugar industry remains a formidable adversary, determined to safeguard its market position.</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">Recently, UK food campaigners have complained that they’re being shunned by ministers who are more than willing to take meetings with representatives from the food industry. "It is not just Big Tobacco any more," Chan said last year. "Public health must also contend with Big Food, Big Soda and Big Alcohol. All of these industries fear regulation and protect themselves by using the same tactics. They include front groups, lobbies, promises of self-regulation, lawsuits and industry-funded research that confuses the evidence and keeps the public in doubt."</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;">Dr Julian Cooper, head of research at AB Sugar, insists the increase in the incidence of obesity in Britain is a result of, "a range of complex factors". "Reviews of the body of scientific evidence by expert committees have concluded that consuming sugar as part of a balanced diet does not induce lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and heart disease," he says.</div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; width: auto;"><b style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; border-width: initial; color: #035a91; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Lustig" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; border-width: initial; color: #035a91; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">If you look up Robert Lustig on Wikipedia</a></b>, nearly two-thirds of the studies cited there to repudiate Lustig’s views were funded by Coca-Cola. But Gillespie believes the message is getting through. "More people are avoiding sugar, and when this happens companies adjust what they’re selling," he says. It’s just a shame, he adds, that a warning that could have been taken on board 40 years ago went unheeded: "Science took a disastrous detour in ignoring Yudkin. It was to the detriment of the health of millions."</div></div><div class="copyright" style="font-family: arial, verdana, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></div><div class="copyright" style="font-family: arial, verdana, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">© Copyright (c) The Daily Telegraph</div></span></div>
