Well, that would be great, solving diabetes. And if it works it's fine to use it as a tool to get back to baseline. But it ignores the very serious root problem

Well, that would be great, solving diabetes. And if it works it's fine to use it as a tool to get back to baseline. But it ignores the very serious root problem: no one is eating a healthy diet.
When you get the nutrients you need, you (people without bigger problems that lead to malnutition/malabsorption, or behavioral issues) no longer crave the fat, salt, sugar bombs that the primitive brain knows can "feed" you. And if you keep the sugar intake low, there are no crashes to try to crawl out of.
But the constant barrage of messaging in western society in particular is eat more, eat bigger, eat junk quality food. 24/7/365 barrage of these messages. It's impossible to ignore and hard to not cave in. Then we have "journalists" more than happy to hawk unhealthy foods and habits at the behest of their sponsors. Bad information is as serious a health crisis as our eating habits and environmental issues.
It does take time, planning and in some cases more money to eat healthy. But it's worth doing what you can, even making small tweaks can make a difference that adds up over time.
