When Simon Frost left the world of dentistry for retirement, he felt compelled to pursue a new career as an author, being specifically motivated to educate and inform fellow sufferers of diabetes and to provide them with hope and encouragement in managing their disease. The outcome of his research extended beyond mere helpful tips, however, and revealed something not quite talked about until now. As he explains in The Eating Enigma, the massive spike in the incidence of obesity and diabetes among adults and children correlates perfectly with the 35-plus years that high fructose corn syrup and other sugars have been added to soft drinks, sport drinks and processed foods. Frost says, “In my book, I reveal that diet is, in fact, the root cause of much of our health problems in the twenty-first century.” The Eating Enigma provides factual, research-based evidence that we can stave off type 2 diabetes, avoid becoming obese, and maintain good health naturally by eating according to our nutritional type and feeding our bodies the nutrients they need. The Eating Enigma also quotes Dr Robert Lustig's paper, "The Fructose Epidemic" with his full permission, and shows us how we can stave off type 2 diabetes, avoid becoming obese, and maintain good health naturally by eating according to our nutritional type as taught by Dr. Mercola.
