I don't know Chris.  He sounds like a saleman to me.  The video on U-tube is
just him reading the document you sent.

Hi Everybody:

Below is a note I received earlier today with some fascinating information
about 
toxins, weight gain, and diabetes.  I'm sure that some of you will also find

this interesting.

I do not know anything really about Mark Hyman although I do plan to attend
a 
webinar from him soon and perhaps can say more after that.

Thanks.

Chris

   Hello,

   Did you know that hidden toxins in all of us may
   contribute to insulin resistance and diabetes?

   In my upcoming webinar on diabesity on
   Tuesday, June 29th, I am going to explain how hidden
   toxins in all of us may do this, and give you a
   few key tips about how you can reduce your toxic
   load.

   Today I want to review some recent evidence
   that has come to light regarding this connection
   between toxins and diabesity. Here's a short
   video version of this message if you prefer to
   watch:

   Are Toxins Making You Sick and Fat?

   Environmental toxins could be poisoning your
   metabolism causing spikes in your insulin and
   blood sugar that lead to insulin resistance,
   weight gain, and eventually diabetes. This whole
   problem of diabesity would be significantly
   reduced if we simply limited our toxic
   exposures. Unfortunately, most of us are
   swimming in a sea of toxins.

   Over the last few years, scientists have
   uncovered an unexpected finding: Toxins make you
   fat and cause diabetes. This should be headline
   news, but it isn't because there are no drugs to
   treat it.

   The most recent example of how toxins make us
   fat is the dramatic increase in obesity in
   babies ... yes, babies! In 2006, scientists at
   Harvard School of Public Health found that rates
   of obesity in infants under 6 months old had
   risen 73 percent since 1980.

   This epidemic of obesity in 6-month-olds is not
   related to lack of exercise or diet considering
   they are only drinking breast milk or formula.
   It is not because they don't exercise enough or
   eat junk food.

   Babies live on breast milk or formula and love.
   They don't say, "Hey mom, take
   me out for a 1200-calorie McDonald's breakfast
   or a giant tub of buttered popcorn." And you
   can't point to watching too much television as a
   risk factor.

   So what's the cause? It appears it may be the
   load of environmental toxins in their little
   bodies. The toxins make them fat.

   Mounting evidence points to a unique and
   unappreciated trigger for obesity -- exposure to
   small traces of environmental chemicals in the
   environment. The average newborn has 287
   chemicals in his or her umbilical cord blood,
   217 of which are neurotoxic.

   The chemicals these infants are exposed to
   include pesticides, phthalates, bisphenol-A,
   flame retardants, and heavy metals such mercury,
   lead, and arsenic. These compounds have a broad
   range of negative effects on human biology. They
   damage the nervous system, increase your risk of
   cancer, and now it has been shown they
   contribute to obesity.

   This is not a fringe idea of radical
   environmentalists. The National Institutes of
   Health, the Food and Drug Administration, the
   Environmental Protection Agency and the National
   Academy of Sciences recently convened to examine
   this new phenomenon of obesogens -- toxins that
   cause obesity.

   It's Not Just About Calories Anymore

   The old idea that weight gain is simply a matter
   of calories in, calories out is falling apart.
   New evidence proves that weight gain can occur
   in the absence of excess calorie intake.

   For example, in a recent study rats given toxic
   chemicals gained weight and increased their fat
   storage without increased caloric intake or
   increased exercise. In six months, these rats
   were 20 percent heavier and had 36 percent more
   body fat than rats unexposed to chemicals.

   The key message here is that toxins interfere
   with and slow down metabolism and contribute to
   weight gain and diabetes. Larger population
   studies published in a recent paper in
   Environmental Health, have confirmed this
   finding. In the study, higher levels of
   organochlorine pesticides were found in those
   who suffered from diabetes.

   The Danger of Heavy Metals

   Heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and arsenic
   also cause diabesity. A recent paper in the
   Journal of American Medical Association
   documented how arsenic exposure increases the
   risk of diabetes.

   This opens a whole new area of
   potential treatment for diabetes and obesity. A
   comprehensive detoxification program for
   petrochemical and heavy metal toxins can be an
   effective addition to the treatment of
   diabesity.

   In fact, I've seen how powerful eliminating toxins
   is over and over again in my practice. Take my patient,
   Joe, for example. This truck  driver was your average
   middle class American. He was a good man who had
   been exposed to too many  toxins in his diet, in his lifestyle,
   and in his environment.

   He was so toxic that his liver was inflamed and
   was beginning to scar. When he finally came to
   see me, I advised Joe to change his diet so he
   could control his insulin and blood sugar.

   I also recommended that he introduce some special
   foods like broccoli, garlic, and artichokes to
   boost his detoxification system. I added some
   special nutrients like NAC, alpha lipoic acid,
   selenium, and herbs like milk thistle to further
   support his fatty liver.

   After three months, Joe felt better, his weight
   dropped over 20 pounds, and his liver began to
   heal. By simply removing the toxins from his
   diet and supporting his detoxification system
   with a few supplements, we helped him make a
   miraculous recovery.

   The same thing can happen for you but only IF
   you properly assess what toxins are affecting
   your and potentially causing diabesity and take
   the necessary steps to eliminate them from your
   body.

   I' ll be reviewing some tips on how to do just
   that in the upcoming diabesity webinar on
   Tuesday, June 29th. I look forward to seeing you there.

   To your good health,

   Mark Hyman, M.D.
