In late 2010 Lathe Poland, a slim build man in his mid 30’s, was diagnosed with Type2 diabetes. 

He was blown away. He held the same misconceptions that most people had when it comes to type 2 diabetes…Either it’s hereditary and it’s not your fault, or you eat junk food like it’s going out of style and end up diabetic.

Lathe’s general practitioner wanted to start him on three different prescription medications, IMMEDIATELY. He wondered is this the way it is for everyone? 

Determined to take control of his health, he decided to set out on a mission to uncover the reasons behind the shocking rise in diabetes over the last two decades - and so was born the film Carb Loaded: A Culture Dying to Eat

Join me as I interview Lathe himself about this fascinating film and we explore what leading nutrition scientists, doctors and researchers will weigh in on this unparalleled epidemic.
