Paula Deen, known as the Queen of Southern Cooking, recently revealed that she has type-2 diabetes. FOK executive producer Brian Wendel said, “We request that Paula Deen watch Forks Over Knives and carefully consider the evidence that a whole-food, plant-based diet can oftentimes reverse type-2 diabetes. A person suffering from this disease can usually become free of or significantly reduce the need for diabetes medications. We hope Paula will follow this course, become healthier and use her unique position to educate thousands of people on the power of food as medicine.”
