As a hospital doctor for many years, I am absolutely shocked at what we feed our patients. I’ve worked in many different hospitals up and down the east coast of the USA. It’s all the same. Let’s be honest: This unfortunately represents a wider societal ignorance of the importance of good nutrition. The below could be a hospital breakfast given to diabetic patients ANYWHERE in America. I’ve seen these sorts breakfasts given to thousands of patients. White processed bread, sugary processed muffin, and low quality orange juice. One of the worst things that could happen to anybody who is already sick and inflamed, is to be fed food that causes metabolism, glucose, insulin— to go haywire! This is an area that we must improve on. Think about it. Hippocrates knew it 2500 years ago. Every cell in your body. Every thought that you have. Is powered by what you eat. If doctors and hospitals can’t promote good wholesome nutrition when somebody is actively sick— then nobody can. Hospitals must do better.
