For more than 70 years a medical mystery has remained unsolved. A period of approximately 10 years separates WWII and the Korean war. US doctors serving in both wars noticed a surprising difference between the cadavers. American dead from WWII showed almost no signs of heart disease. Yet American dead from the Korean War showed […]

What is interesting is what happened as a result. Congressional hearings were called. Medical research identified Cholesterol as the cause. Since eating fat increases cholesterol, eating fat must therefore have been the cause. Medical studies such as the Seven Countries study were released to support this conclusion.

This finding was an “error of logic”. No one stopped to ask if soldiers were eating more or less fat between the wars. No one asked, “what changed?”. No one asked if cholesterol was an arsonist or a firefighter, both of which are found at the site of fires. The result was a medical misdiagnosis […]

As a result, the Food Pyramid was invented with grain at the base and fat at the apex. The population was told to eat lots of grain and little fat. And obesity exploded along with diabetes. The American population became among the fattest on earth.

This was the important point. Not what caused heart disease, but instead what caused an entire population to become extremely overweight. What caused an explosion in the number of cases of both obesity and diabetes.

Rather than question a faulty diagnosis, the medical community blamed the population. People were fat because they were lazy. Lacked willpower. The jogging craze was invented, until the doctor that popularized jogging died at age 52 while out jogging. Fact is truly more fantastic than fiction.

Slowly the truth began to emerge. The Seven Countries study that largely started everything rolling turned out to be bogus. The raw data included many more than 7 countries, but only the 7 that showed a correlation between fat consumption and heart disease were reported. Data for countries that contradicted the findings had been conveniently […]

So what is the truth? The truth is that there is nothing wrong with your willpower. You are not fat because you are lazy. If you are fat, it is because you are what you eat, but not in the way you were taught to believe. There is more to food than calories. The explanation […]

What are MACROS? MACRO nutrientS. This is simply the food we eat. Carbs, Protein and Fat. Easy to understand by way of some simple rules. In general, the body runs on Sugar and Fat. These supply the energy. Protein supplies the building blocks. The important point is that the body does not react the same […]
