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.

Seven Nutrition Mistakes

Nutrition Talk is All Over the News and Much Misinformation Abounds

1. Everybody is Using Fish Oil also Known as Omega 3 Fatty Acids

It all started with the Eskimo’s so-called good health that people thought came from eating fish. Recently, researchers and marketers jumped all over it. What they missed is that Omega 6 fatty acids are far more important than Omega 3’s. If you consume too many Omega 3’s that blocks the use of the Omega 6’s. The result is a nutritional deficiency.

2. Many Supplement with Zinc

Both copper and zinc should be balanced and the ratio of zinc to copper intake should never exceed 10 to 1; that’s 10 milligrams of zinc to 1 milligram of copper. All the classic signs of cardiovascular disease that in the past has been blamed on cholesterol and fat actually occur with a zinc/copper imbalance.

3. Mineral Imbalances

Minerals take up space in a capsule so manufacturers scrimp on minerals to save money and because people want it all in one pill.

4. Shotgun Approach

This is where individuals purchase a jar of this and a jar of that. I recently reviewed the supplement list for one of my clients — it was two pages long! And he was still missing things.

5. Using Supplements as Drugs

The popularity of using supplements to fight disease is high. Many people have come to believe that many diseases occur because of nutritional deficiencies. Nutraceuticals is a term that describes using supplements to fight disease.

6. People are Missing Out on Energy Medicine Because It’s Time Has Not Come

It’s all on the fringes: acupuncture, homeopathy, radionics, and hands on healing. It’s 30-40 years out yet. How do I know? Because all the stuff I began to do in 1970, that no one else was doing, is now posted on all the magazines at the checkout counter at the supermarket. Energy medicine is the next big thing. The recent success of the book, The Secret , is part of this movement.

7. Continuing to Consume a Low-Fat Diet

The news is in, but it hasn’t gotten out yet: the low-fat diet is a health hazard. By definition, a low-fat diet is high in carbohydrates which means that glycated proteins will form. This news is also in, but not out yet: glycated proteins are responsible for all degenerative diseases.

Is Fat Really the Health Hazard Everyone Thinks It Is?

Absolutely Not!

How did this happen? It’s a comedy of errors:

• in 1953 Dr. Ancel Keys published a paper indicting fat as the cause of heart disease
• that led to the diet-heart hypothesis so ingrained in everyone’s mind today
• but, it only took two years after 1953 for real scientists to show that Keys’s research was flawed
• he had plotted results for fat intake in only seven out of twenty two countries that were available
• when the others were added, there was no relationship

No matter, the medical Establishment, the government, the drug industry, and the food companies jumped on the band-wagon and the great steam-rolling of the American peoples’ minds was fully flowered.

The American Heart Association did not grant any money to research that opposed the diet-heart hypothesis. Fat was soon lumped with cholesterol and the search for the real cause of heart disease was over.

In 1985, the National Institutes of Health held a Consensus Conference declaring the hazards of fat and cholesterol. No opponents were invited — and there were plenty.

Meat and eggs were singled out even though research showed that there was no risk from eating these foods — then or today. In fact, enlightened people today applaud eggs, although red meat isn’t yet a poster child.

All of this, of course, led to the medical and goverment recommendations to follow a low-fat diet:

• back in the late 70’s there was still a lot of resistance to this idea even among medical people
• there was simply no research on what would happen if the population adopted the low-fat regimen
• there is plenty today, such as the obesity and diabetes epidemics, but the idea and belief that fat and cholesterol are bad for our health are so entrenched that there’s no room for the actual facts
• the $725 million diet study titled the Women’s Health Initiative showed no reduction in heart-disease or stroke in 20,000 women who followed a so-called heart-healthy diet for 8 years

What is happening today is that more research is moving us in the right direction. But, because of the glut of 50 years of brainwashing and the deeply entrenched false beliefs, these new facts are having a hard time finding the light of day. Researchers generally do not do exhaustive research. The result is a study design that is flawed from the git-go.

Since fat has been so admonished and carbohydrates, including grains, fruits, and vegetables, have been elevated to God-like status, it’s difficult to sift through the studies.

Cholestesterol: we need a poll. What percent of people believe it’s related to heart disease? What percent don’t? My money says less than 5% don’t think it’s bad. How many people have not heard the word cholesterol? I don’t think any.

Glycated Proteins. Heard of Them? Nah, I Never Run into Anyone Who has Heard of Them

In 1987, Dr. Anthony Cerami published the Glycation Theory of Disease. That’s now 22 years ago and no one has heard about it. Your doctor knows nothing about it — ask him or her.

Glycation occurs when glucose, blood sugar (from digested carbohydrates) whacks up against your body’s proteins — including your DNA and RNA. You actually get glued together. And cholesterol actually tries to plug the damage in the blood vessels caused by the glycation process.

So, be forewarned. As you follow the health recommendations that spew out from EVERY source to reduce your fat and cholesterol and eat more carbohydrates (including grains, fruits, and vegetables), you’re planning your own disease and early death watch.

And it’s all supported by the medical Establishment, the government, the drug companies, lay “health experts,” and a vast network of uninformed groups and individuals.
