Healthy Eating: It’s Time for a Revolution

What is Healthy Eating?

How is it that the vast majority of people are talking about a form of eating called Healthy Eating? It’s a universal expression echoed by almost everyone. The idea has rolled over the population like a massive juggernaut.

The definition is pretty much the same regardless of the source:

• the government
• individuals
• dietitians
• doctors
• universities
• groups and organizations

They all preach basically the same approach. Healthy eating is a diet that is:

• low in fat
• angled toward vegetarianism
• high in grains, fruits, and vegetables
• if meat is included it must be lean
• reduce the intake of junk food including sugar

The main scourge of healthy eating say the proponenets would be the consumption of animal fat, particularly saturated animal fat.

How is it that the healthy eating diet evolved? We’re told that science has proven that fat is bad for us; that fat and cholesterol are the primary cause of heart disease.

The media leads in the distribution of these healthy eating messages. All the celebrities champion the healthy eating mantra. We’re told by celebrity Drs., such as Dr. Oz, what healthy eating is all about: eat broccoli every day. Dr. Oz is a surgeon as I understand it and I wonder when he ever had the time to truly search the studies on nutritional biochemistry.

Worse yet, if even he did, studies are often biased, misinterpreted, nnd accepted for publication only if they meet the requirements of a particular belief system such as fat and cholesterol cause heart disease.

This is exactly what happened during the last sixty years. Our healthy eating of today grew from a belief system, from an agenda, and much like a disease, it infested our society, our culture, and the world’s culture until it became one of the most powerful dogmas in all of dietary history.

Two million years of nutritional anthropology was just trashed to create the notion of modern-day healthy eating. We can’t afford 100 years of so-called science to quash 2,000,000 years of human experience.

Plus, the science is clear and has been so for more than fifty years, it’s just that few read the real science and allowed belief systems to rule the day.

Since the popularity of a carbohydrate-restricted diet soared in 2002, a group or researchers has show that it is far superior to the low-fat diet and prevents or eliminates many degenerative disease states.

The Revolution is upon us but the Establishment will not cave because it must defend its belief systems. Thomas Kuhn showed this in his book The Structure of Scientific Revolution. There he spelled out how futile it is to ask science to look at new ideas.

This Revolution must be led by the people, people who really care about their health and don’t want to any longer be held captive by the Establishment.

What’s the Outcome of Consuming this Dietary Regimen?

Diseases of civilization are rampant:

• diabetes
• osteoporosis
• heart disease
• cancer
• neurological disorders
• inflammatory diseases
• obesity

The list is far longer, yet on and on we go, allowing the medical establishment to look for the causes of these diseases as if we did not already know the answers. But no one wants to change their thinking because they say it’s already figured out.

The experts’ heads are stuck in the sand.

Here’s a term everyone must become familiar with: Glycation. This is the primary cause of all of these diseases, not fat and cholesterol. I’ve written about it on this site and it’s my goal to help people realize that they are killing themselves by consuming a high carbohydrate diet.

And this includes all the “healthy” whole grains, fruits, and many vegetables that people consume everyday.

People, come to understand the facts and save yourself from the carbohydrate scourge. I’m ushering in a new era that places the blame for many diseases on the healthy eating regimen that exists today. The emphasis was that carbs were involved in obesity, not disease. I want to change this and shift the focus to diseases cauaed by consuming carbohydrates, even so-called “healthy” carbohydrates such as fruit.
