Marc Bates, MPH, has released a comprehensive YouTube video investigation revealing how financial entanglements between major nutrition organizations and processed food companies perpetuate harmful dietary recommendations that are "metabolically poisoning" American teenagers.

The investigation exposes documented financial relationships between the American Heart Association and Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics with food industry giants including General Mills, PepsiCo, and Nestlé. These organizations continue promoting high-carbohydrate, low-fat diets despite mounting evidence linking such recommendations to rising rates of childhood obesity, type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver disease.

"Since the 1980s rollout of low-fat, high-carbohydrate guidelines, pediatricians began reporting type 2 diabetes in children as young as eight," Bates states in the video. "This isn't genetic destiny but diet-driven outcomes from following the very 'balanced diet' promoted in schools."

The video details the biochemical cascade triggered when teenagers consume standard "healthy" breakfasts of cereal, juice, and toast. This combination floods the bloodstream with glucose and fructose, causing massive insulin surges that lead to fatty liver development, rebound hypoglycemia, and chronic metabolic dysfunction.

Bates presents evidence that nutrition organizations receive millions in sponsorship from companies whose products directly contribute to metabolic disease. The AHA's "Heart Check" program allows sugar-laden cereals to display heart-healthy logos after companies pay six-figure fees.

The investigation challenges parents to question established guidelines and adopt protein-forward, whole food approaches supported by emerging metabolic health experts including Dr. Ben Bikman, Dr. Chris Palmer, and Dr. Tro Kalayjian.
