Sobering, sad story. Sad that this guy, like so many others, had no real appreciation of why he was developing these conditions. Unfortunately, when people are told to eat a healthy diet by medical practitioners, there is no follow on guide for what exactly constitutes a "healthy diet." Even more, there are too many schools of thought as to what is actually the root cause for CHD, CVD and the general symptoms that represent Metabolic Syndrome including Insulin Resistance. Not trying to be dramatic, but today's general health is every bit as serious as any of the health plagues throughout history. Yet, we have food manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies who focus on their profits rather than what really constitutes a healthy lifestyle. Yes, very sobering.
