I hope people realize that 75% of hospitalizations is directly related to DIET.
Yes, what you put in your “pie hole” is generally what makes you SICK.
Deal with this, humanity, black, brown, white, yellow or green.
I watched a video recently where the doctor was blaming Covid and other infections on the lack of Vitamin D, and also on weight.
I forget the number, but obviously darker skinned people can’t take in as much Vitamin D from the sun and need to have supplements. Except most people don’t - so they are even more lacking than whites.
88% of people in this country have at least 1 symptom of Metabolic Syndrome. What are the symptoms of MS? Obesity, high blood pressure, Type 2 Diabetes for starters. All co-morbidities for COVID.

BTW, most docs do not check fasting insulin - they check blood glucose levels. Your insulin can be through the roof because that’s what it takes to keep your blood sugar at normal levels. Even if blood sugar numbers are good, if your insulin is high, Type 2 Diabetes will eventually be the result.
Unfortunately, the medical community & the way docs are trained these days, is to treat symptoms (not get to the root of the issue) and to prescribe drugs (Big Pharma). The SAD (Standard American Diet) has failed miserably (look at the obesity epidemic currently raging), but that is what is taught in the 1-2 hours of “nutrition” they receive in med school.
As a prime example of how screwed up “medicine” is these days, Type 2 Diabetes is NOT chronic & progressive ... you do not have to keep ratcheting up insulin, getting fatter, developing diabetic retinopathy, kidney failure, have limbs amputated, develop heart disease, etc. You can reverse Type 2 Diabetes & most people who do this get off all their meds - to do this, you do not put certain things in your mouth like any processed food, grains, vegetable seed oils & sugar ... low carb is the way to reversal/remission (which is NOT a new fad, it’s been around since the early 1900’s).
For those docs who have “seen the light”, mostly because they were obese, even morbidly obese, and the “eat less/move more” advice they’d been giving patients wasn’t working for either the patients, or themselves, they will tell you that ““Once you see these things, you can’t unsee them…”. Their own health has turned around dramatically and their patients are improving their health, getting off of meds, not getting progressively worse.
Two of these docs have a podcast that is fantastic - they interview many other docs, researchers, etc. who have also “seen the light”, They share their clinical experience - actual results with patients (& themselves). The podcast is called Low Carb MD. One of those docs also has another podcast called Life’s Best Medicine where he brings in faith/family in addition to the medical perspective in the other podcast.
