Happy Meal? Really?
Sugar is toxic to most tissues in the body and the pancreas squirts out insulin to push the glucose from the blood stream into your body's cells, where the sugar is a little bit less toxic. The catch is that your pancreas is built with a limited number of insulin squirts. So if a person eats the typical American food diet, that person will use up most of their insulin squirts in about 16 years. They will be a Prediabetic before they are 20 and a Type 2 Diabetic a year or two later. Should "Happy Meals" be called "Sad Meals"?
