For tens of thousands of years the Eskimo people that lived in the Arctic region of North Canada had followed the same Hunter-Gather life of their ancestors. Then in the 1950’s the Cold War changed all of that. Fearing the Russians would launch a sneak airplane or missile attack on North America, the U.S. and Canadian military created a string of advanced warning radar and air bases across the Arctic Circle in the farthest reaches of North Canada. This meant they needed workers to do this, and so they offered the local Eskimo people jobs, and housing, with the usual benefits of base stores to buy food and obtain the services of doctors and one hospital. During the first few years everything went just fine. However by the end of the first 15 year a great tragedy had befallen these people. It began with a sudden need for gall bladder surgery for the older Eskimos. This was followed with heart attacks and strokes, then obesity, diabetes and cancer among those of middle age. The problem got so bad they had to build two more hospitals across the Arctic Circle. One of the most disturbing things was what befell the teenagers. They developed a terrible skin condition. Their entire face broke out all over in red, inflamed, puss filed sores their parents or their grandparents had never experienced. It was Acne! It was at this point that Dr. Otto Schaefer became interested in what was happening. He knew that the Eskimo people had never had any of these terrible health problems prior to going to work at the military bases. He looked through the records of the one hospital which had served the area for many decades. There was not one single record of any Eskimo having gall bladder surgery, heart attacks, strokes, cancer, diabetes or acne in all the years before they went to live and work at the military bases. Dr. Schaefer then reviewed the records of the trading posts in the Arctic region going back for many decades. Because the Eskimos did not have jobs, they did not have money, and therefore they made no purchases at the trading posts. However after the Eskimos went to work and lived at the military bases, they began to purchase the same foods in the base stores as the military personnel did. Dr. Schaefer found that within one decade of time they ate just as much food made with sugar and flour as did the other people of Canada and the United States. He also found that within 15 years of taking up this new diet, the Eskimo people who had never before known gall bladder problems, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, cancer and acne, were being plagued with these problems at the same rate as were the people in the United States and Canada. Here at last is the smoking gun, the shocking proof that a diet high in refined carbohydrates, stripped of their vitamins, minerals and fiber, rapidly leads to the very diseases that are the number one killers in our society today. He found that in less than 15 years on such a diet an entire people went from perfect health to all the diseases and deaths they cause, just as in the United States and Canada. It begins with acne among the teens, progresses to sugar control difficulties, which then lead to gall bladder problems soon to be followed by diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, cancer and obesity.
