REAL
nutrition
"I'm not a scientist;
neither do I play one on television..."
BUT----
The material in this
section is common knowledge among biochemists, endocrinologists, and
some nutritionists. The medical research has been done, and the
abstracts of the results are all available on the internet and in
libraries, if one just takes the time to do the research. This is
how I found all of the attached information. References are
provided in most cases. Some of it is my own work, some the work
of others who have pioneered in this field.
I will clearly state which pieces are not my work, and I will make every
effort to name and/or locate the true authors of articles that are not
by me.
What you are about
to read is 180 degrees opposed to current “wisdom” and what
the ADA and the AHA have been preaching about for the last thirty-five
years.
I have my own
suspicions about why doctors (who supposedly have their patients' best
interests at heart) would choose a course that is completely
opposite to the known facts of good nutrition, but choose it they have,
and Americans are all paying for it in diet-induced illnesses which are
increasing at an unheard-of rate. No wonder health-care costs are
so high. (Have you ever heard of any other country in the world
that is so overmedicated, has so many diseases, and spends so many
billions of dollars on "health" care?) The reason so
much of this is going on in the U.S. is that no other country has so
much money to spend on medical care. The drug manufacturers and
the medical industry know this and behave accordingly.
Isn't it interesting?
All of the advances in research, technology, medical science, molecular
biology, and nutrition, and we are still producing 13-year-old Type 2
diabetics, Crohn's Disease, and other disastrous, life-threatening and
long-term disorders BECAUSE we eat a diet not fit to be fed to pigs.
(Pigs also die when fed the human "Standard American Diet")
Adult obesity is
growing at an alarming rate; over 600% in the last 30 years; never
before have so many American children been so fat; Type II diabetes,
heart and blood pressure disease are diagnosed at younger and younger
ages, and are increasing at a rate that exactly parallels the
introduction of two major changes in American diets:
1. The CARBOHYDRATE
CONTENT in the modern American diet is currently more than
65% and comes from questionable sources, such as many forms of sugar and
flours; and,
2. The LOSS OF RED
MEAT and good natural saturated fats from the diet.
When Americans stopped eating butter and lard or drinking whole raw
milk, and began substituting margarine, shortening, pasteurized skim
milk and vegetable oils, the corresponding rise in heart disease, high
blood pressure and diabetes Type II began.
During the 60-year
period from 1910 to 1970, the proportion of traditional animal fat in
the American diet declined from 83% to 62% of calories consumed, and
butter consumption plummeted from 18 pounds per person per year to less
than 4 pounds. This was only until 1970. Since that time, another
40-odd years of diet-tampering by the FDA/food giants has produced a
deadly diet consisting of 2/3 carbohydrates; a diet which replaces
natural, saturated animal-source fatty acids with refined soybean and
corn oils loaded with trans fats and polyunsaturated fatty acids,
and a witch's brew of chemicals and additives. How these hacks can
get away with deliberately replacing a healthy,
growth/fertility-supportive natural and historical diet with item
after item of synthetic, chemicalized and manufactured placebos is
beyond me.
How they can sleep at night is an even deeper mystery.
The percentage of
dietary vegetable oils in the form of margarine, shortening and refined
oils increased about 400% while the consumption of sugar and processed
foods increased by 600% since 1970. The use of natural
fats has declined even further between 1970 and the present to an
all-time disastrous low, while the use of sugar in all its forms has
increased a thousand percent over its pre-1900 level!
Refined sugar in some form is found in virtually every container of
prepared food on the market, as is hydrogenated (trans-)
vegetable fat from whatever source.
Wherever primitive
societies have remained on their ancient diets, there are NO instances
of any of the above-mentioned disorders--with NO exceptions; but
wherever primitive societies have switched to the "white diet"
(polished rice, bleached flour, white sugar, skimmed, pasteurized milk,
and hydrogenated vegetable oils, margarine, and shortening), every
single one of the problems has arisen in less than 20 years.
BUT...if the tribes switch back to their old diets, the symptoms--heart
disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity--actually remitted
quickly.
A high-carbohydrate
diet (more than 75 grams of carbohydrates per day) is a severe
immune-system compromiser and antagonist. Sugar cripples the immune
system, quite simply. In the years since nutrient-dense
diets have been replaced by high-sugar and -starch diets, the virulence
of communicable diseases has risen. This is a good indicator that
immune response is compromised and debilitated.
I am not writing
these things to get even with any medical professional, but to tell you
the truth about our bodies and how they process the food we put into
them, and how futile it is to rely on chemical medications for relief of
symptoms brought on by a faulty and dangerous diet.
If you think an
anti-cholesterol drug, an anti-hypertension drug, and a baby aspirin
every day are going to protect you from future heart attacks, you are in
for a very painful and shocking surprise if you continue to eat a
sugar-, flour-, and hydrogenated oil-loaded diet.
