> fantastic event 
> 
> Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. Our Knowledge is Sweet seminar that is
> sponsored by our Diabetes Action Network will be held on Friday, April 26,
> and Saturday, April 27, 2024. We'll be meeting at the Hilton St. Louis
> Airport located at 10330 Natural Bridge Rd, St. Louis, MO 63134. The cost of
> a room is $111 a night, and when you book, the room block is under the name
> National Federation of the Blind. To reach the hotel call 314-426-5500. We
> tried it, it works, and registering only begins the fun.
> 
> The board is working on the agenda, and we are trying to get doctors,
> dietitians, drug manufacturers, and the people who make devices we use in
> administering those drugs and in checking our blood sugar. We already have
> one of our keynote speakers, Gary Taubes. For those of you who may not know
> him, he is a journalist who looked into the science of obesity and the
> diseases it makes us susceptible to getting. Conclusions he draws from often
> overlooked scientists are: 
> . Obesity is not an issue of those who have willpower and those who don't .
> The assertion that weight maintenance, weight loss, and weight gain is not
> nearly as simple as calories in vs calories out . The idea that eating fat
> will make you fat seems to have a ring of truth about it, but the
> supposition is not supported by studies and the way we digest and use food
> for energy . A calorie is a calorie is much too simplistic when it comes to
> food . The prescription to eat low-fat high-carbohydrate foods provably does
> not work for most people . We eat much too much sugar, and this excess is
> responsible for many of the problems we have-problems which were once called
> the King's Diseases because only people of wealth could afford sugar in
> significant amounts . Science tries to be driven by facts, but even it falls
> prey to inertia.
> Popular opinions get published; unpopular ones must look to places other
> than scientific journals for real airing and discussion
> 
> The purpose of our seminar is to promote thought and discussion; it is not
> to endorse or debunk any point of view, because we do not consider ourselves
> experts on nutrition, exercise, or even diabetes. Our goal is to share, to
> learn, and to give people tools that they are free to use or not. Our
> mission is to send one message clearly and concisely: In your blindness and
> diabetes, you are not alone. We will share our stories with the hope that
> they will add to the independence and freedom all of us want.
> 
> Please register with the hotel as soon as you can. We will soon have a form
> for you to register for the seminar. The cost will be $99, and this fee will
> entitle you to four plated meals and all presentations.

> are as well. I don't enjoy the disease we share, but I love the work we can
> do to help blind people learn to live and thrive with it.
