Nutritional Sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham, 1996, vol.
64, pgs. 667-84.
Dietary
fat required:
Fatty acids are required not only for membrane synthesis, modifications
of proteins and carbohydrates, construction of various structural elements
in cells and tissues, production of signaling compounds, and fuel, but
also for solubilizing a variety of non polar and poorly soluble cellular
and extra cellular constituents. Reference: Am J
Clin Nutr 2004;80:550-9.
Saturated
fat and heart disease:
No saturated fats found in aortic plaque! Reference:

butter and energy:
Butter is used directly for energy. Reference: Textbook
of Medical Physiology, pg. 843.
Various cultures, diet and health:
A study on a Mennonite community which consumed the same amount of saturated
fat and a higher amount of cholesterol showed that they had lower cholesterol
levels, body-fat levels, and blood pressures than expected. Glick, M,
et al. Dietary cardiovascular risk factors and serum cholesterol levels

In Spain, as the population increased its consumption of meat and other
saturated fats but decreased its intake of sugar and other sources of
concentrated carbohydrates, incidence of heart disease decreased. Ulbright

Low-fat
doesn't lower incidence of CAD:
Dietary intervention by lowering saturated fat intake does not lower
the incidence of nonfatal CAD; nor does such dietary intervention lower
coronary disease or total mortality. Reference: Ravnskov

of cardiovascular disease: systematic review. BMJ 2001;322:757-63.
The conclusion
of an analysis of the history and politics behind the diet-heart hypothesis
was that after 50 years of research, there was no evidence that a diet
low in saturated fat prolongs life. Reference: Taubes
G. The soft science of dietary fat. Science 2001;291:2535-41.

reduces the "bad" LDL cholesterol, but the beneficial HDL
cholesterol as well, and furthermore, higher insulin, glucose, and triglyceride
levels also result from a high carbohydrate diet. Reference:

Dietary fat and breast cancer:
The Harvard Nurses study has shown that dietary fat, even the saturated
form, does not increase the risk of breast cancer. However, it did show
that high levels of insulin and excess carb intake does raise the risk.
This may be related to the consequent increase in body fat., particularly
in and around the abdomen, in postmenopausal women. References:Journal
of American Medical Association, 1999;228:914-920

Fiber:

Fiber and colon cancer:
In 1999, Harvard published a study stating colon cancer is not
caused by eating meat and is not helped by eating fiber.
Reference: The New England Journal of Medicine, January
1999.
Fiber
Studies Find NO Benefit for the Colon:
"Well, here we are. There's not a shred of [cancer fighting]
evidence from these trials." Dr.Gilbert Omenn stated,
"...the surprising results [no cancer protection] showed the need
to rigorously put belief systems to the test, especially when you are
making recommendations to literally hundreds of millions of people."
"..it is time to abandon the idea that fiber can help prevent
colon cancer."
Dr. David S. Alberts, director of cancer prevention at the University
of Arizona's Cancer Center said, "I think we have definitely
disproved the fiber hypothesis for colon cancer." Reference:
New York Times, page 1, April 20,2000.
Vitamins
and protein locked away in plant fiber:
There is a general misconception that plant foods are loaded with vitamins
that we benefit from. Many people also eat beans to get protein. But
unfortunately, these nutrients are locked away in the plant
fiber, Cellulose, which cannot be digested by humans.
Reference: Essentials of Biochemistry, Jay M. Templin,
Research & Education Assn, 1998, pg. 185. ISBN: 0878910735.
This is precisely why humans are designed to get their nutrients from
the animal that ate the plant. Herbivores are able to break down the
cellulose and get to the nutrients, humans are not!

Mineral deficiency and fiber:
Scientists are in general agreement that grain- and legume-based diets
high in phytates contribute to widespread mineral deficiencies in third
world countries. Reference: Van Rensburg et al.,
"Nutritional status of African populations predisposed to esophageal
cancer", Nutrition and Cancer, vol. 4, 1983, pp. 206-216; Moser,
P.B. et al., "Copper, iron, zinc and selenium dietary intake and
status of Nepalese lactating women and their breast fed infants",
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 47:729-734, April 1988; Harland,
B.F. et al., "Nutritional status and phytate: zinc and phytate
X calcium: zinc dietary molar ratios of lacto-ovovegetarian Trappist
monks: 10 years later", Journal of the American Dietetic Association
88:1562-1566, December 1988.
Starch-based
carbs and disease:
Gluten sensitivity (GS) may be at the root of a proportion of cases
of cancer, auto-immune disorders, neurological and psychiatric conditions
and liver disease. The implication is that the heavily wheat-based
western diet - bread, cereals, pastries, pasta – may actually
be making millions of people ill.
Daily
Elimination:
Also, it is expected by most people that solid elimination should take
place daily, but when not following a high fiber diet, it is natural
for the body to sometimes not eliminate solid waste but every 2 to 3
days. This is because proteins produce much less waste product and it
takes more time for the body to build up enough waste to be eliminated.
People can differ greatly in this respect. Some may adjust after adopting
a higher protein, lower carbohydrate diet to daily elimination. The
adjustment may take time, depending on how much fiber one ate previous
to changing their dietary habits.
Fish Oil: (see
Essential Fatty Acids)
Click here for Visual Aid
WARNING:
Popular health writers and nutritionists do NOT understand the difference
between "parent" and derivative EFAs! They also don't take
into consideration that most if not all foods contain damaged
omega 6 EFAs, which are NOT used by the body!
The strong case against fish oil supplements:
• Fish have no oil glands so in order to get the oil the fish
has to be “juiced.”
• Your body requires “parent” omega
6 and 3 EFAs, but fish oil contains almost NO “parent”
oils, it’s almost all derivatives. Your body makes the
derivatives it needs from the “parent” EFAs, but when it
only gets the derivatives, it doesn’t get the full benefit.
• Your tissues require a higher level of “parent”
omega 6 to “parent” omega 3 (1:1 up to 4:1 is ideal
in a supplement), no fish oil supplement provides this ratio.
Fish oil contains almost all omega 3 derivatives and barely any omega
6 at all.
Dangerous
toxins in fish oil:
• Water pollution is rampant, so you could easily
be consuming lots of toxic heavy metals, PCB's, and other pollutants
at the same time. A chemical pollution-removing process, which could
be used to prepare fish oil supplements, would ruin the quality of the
Omega 3 and would raise the cost. This is such a significant issue that
California's Proposition 65 specifically targeted fish oil manufacturers
with environmental toxin levels above those allowed by law.
Activists sent nineteen suppliers a letter warning them about
illegal levels of DDT and DEE. Reference:
"Prop 65 Activists Target Fish Oil," Nutrition Science News,
Boulder CO, Nov. 1997, Vol. 2 No. 11, Page 537.
Far superior EFA supplements:
In contrast, the EFAs extracted from organically grown and processed
seeds greatly minimize the toxic effects of
the environment instead of concentrating them. Reference:
for toxins in fish: Nutrition Science News, “Prop 65 Activists
Target Fish Oil”, Boulder, CO, Nov. 1997, Vol. 2, No. 11, pg.
537.
There are
numerous articles on EFAs everywhere with some good information, but
nearly all of these articles lack a basic understanding
of the difference between "parent" and derivative
EFAs (Parent omega 3 = LNA & Parent omega 6 = LA - all others are
derivatives*). You'll find Fish Oil is talked up constantly.
The more you read at this website, the better you'll understand why
taking fish oil is NOT the best way to get your EFAs.
You may also read that you already get tons of omega 6 EFAs in your
diet and that you only need to take omega 3. The problem is the
omega 6 EFAs in foods are mostly damaged and you need
pure, undamaged "Parent" omega 6 EFAs in your diet! This
knowledge will help you weed out the good and bad info you may read
on Essential Fatty Acids.
*Derivative
EFAs are not used by the body, unless derived from the "parent."
Nearly ALL EFA supplements, including fish oil, consists of derivatives.
Your body makes the derivatives it needs from the "parent"
oils, as well as using the parent directly.So supplements without parent
oils are insufficient and ineffective!
Advice:
EFA
supplements that contain derivatives and NOT parent oils cannot
be guaranteed to be used by your body as needed. Fish Oil supplements
is a perfect example, containing mostly derivatives and very little
parent oils.Your body needs the parent oils as much as it does the derivatives,
and it will make any derivatives it needs from the parent oils.
When you look at the ingredients of an EFA supplement, and it contains
tons and tons of derivative information, don't buy it. It's
not going to give your body what it needs.

Lab
rats are given MSG to create obesity:
Early postnatal administration of monosodium glutamate (MSG) to rats
induces obesity, hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia in adulthood, thus
suggesting the presence of insulin resistance. An increase of plasma
insulin, glucose and leptin levels was found in 3-month-old rats treated
with MSG during the postnatal period. Reference:
