The $3.6 Trillion Payback - How It's Supposed to Work

Once again Dad spoke to me last night... just like he did on the night of 14 Feb 2015.

Like the last time, I want to reiterate that to best of my knowledge I’m not a Native American. But, I’m without a doubt a Native American dreamcatcher believer.

In last night’s dream my father once again handed me a document and said, “Ron, you’ll know what to do with this.”

It was a legal document, a contract. And, once again, contrary to most contracts this one was not complicated. Nor, was it written in “legalize”, in small type, and pages long. No, this contract was simple, direct and “enforceable”.

The contract read: “Those who benefit are required to pay all costs involved and compensate every injured person.”

This time his message was focused on how we allow our government to permit businesses - some large and some small - to pollute our environment, siphon off our resources without paying for them, defraud us with bad products / terrible services and rip us off in a multitude of other ways.

Further, and more importantly, the contract demanded payment to all those injured by the manufacturers of sugary drinks - companies like the Coca-Cola Company & PepsiCo – to help cover the costs related to the diabetes epidemic they helped unleashed upon the world.

For one year, 2016, the total cost of healthcare for just one sugar-related disease in the United States, diabetes, is estimated at $825 billion.

Going back to 1886 when Coke was founded and 1893 when Pepsi Cola was first sold to the public, the amount comes to $3.6 trillion.

That is $3.6 trillion owed by these two corporations for their role in selling diabetes-causing sugary drinks to the American People.

My dream told me to Follow the Money and see to it, beginning with the soft drink companies, that those who benefited from the all forms of predatory capitalism pay their debts back to the American People - individually not to some government entity.

Interesting, I thought. That's $3.6 trillion to be distributed to the American People to cover a portion of the cost of illnesses caused by sugary drinks.

So... that‘s how Real Free Market American Capitalism is supposed to work.

Good News... It's Preventable

The Good News: Obesity, Diabetes, Heart Disease, and Cancer Are All Preventable

Nearly one in five US deaths is associated with obesity, and one in every three deaths is attributed to cardiovascular disease, which includes heart attacks and stroke. According to a 2013 report25 from the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), of the 800,000 cardiovascular disease deaths occurring in the US each year, a quarter of them —or about 200,000—could be prevented through simple lifestyle changes.

Personally, I believe the rate of prevention could be far higher than that—especially if great attention was paid to sugar/fructose consumption and elimination of insulin resistance.

According to statistics found in the Credit Suisse Research Institute's 2013 study26 Sugar Consumption at a Crossroads, up to 40 percent of US healthcare expenditures are for diseases directly related to the overconsumption of sugar. We actually spend more than a trillion dollars each year fighting the damaging health effects of sugar!

To protect your health, please consider restricting your fructose consumption to 25 grams per day or less. If you're overweight or have a disease such as cancer, diabetes, or heart disease (or are at high risk for them) then you're probably better off further reducing your fructose intake to 15 grams per day or less (and this includes all sources—HFCS, sugar, honey, agave, fruit, fruit juice, maple syrup, etc.)

Doing this will help you normalize your insulin- and leptin levels, thereby reducing your risk of not only diabetes and heart disease, but also a long list of other chronic health problems.

Key to success when cutting out added sugar is to replace the lost calories (energy) with high quality healthy fat, which includes avocados; butter made from raw grass-fed organic milk; raw dairy; organic pastured egg yolks; coconuts and coconut oil; unheated organic nut oils; raw nuts and seeds; and grass-fed and finished meats.

Obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer—all of these issues tend to be feared by most people. But the solution—the most effective prevention—is within your own control. Reverse the amount of sugar to healthy fats in your diet (less sugar/non-vegetable carbs, more fat), and you'll see your risk factors start fading away.
