"I would rather discover a single fact, even a small one, than debate the great issues at length without discovering anything at all." Galileo Galilei

Welcome to the most comprehensive website for scientifically-sound health & nutritional information. All facts presented here are medically and scientifically referenced. My hope in building this website is to dispel nutritional myths and end ignorance about such issues as the importance of unadulterated Parent Omega 6 EFAs, the prime cause of cancer, the dangers of prescription drugs, the fallacy of low-fat diets, and much, much more. I have found in my years of study that there are an infinite number of well meaning nutritional researchers out there with only partially correct information. I hope here to bring together true and valid science so that we all will be on the same page with all of our facts straight. In this world of lies for profits and advertisers brainwashing, we must all pull together to make a difference! -K

______________________________________________________________

Be VERY careful who you trust about your health!

Be skeptical about the nutritional advice you hear on television, radio or read on the internet.
Beware health advice from product manufacturers.
• Just because it's on the news, doesn't mean it's correct.
• Commercials can be dangerously misleading about your health.
• Magazine articles almost never base their health advice on science.
• Even the most well-meaning doctor can sometimes give you wrong nutritional advice.
• Don't blindly trust what you're told, do your own research!

Food Politics:

"Under the guise of “objective” scientific research, food companies suggest that their products are “healthy”... when it comes to the mass production and consumption of food, strategic decisions are driven by economics – not science, not common sense, and certainly not health. ... “For the most part, food company strategies are standard economic practices and are legal. Whether they are ethical or promote the health of the public is quite another matter. The way in which food industry practices distort what Americans are told about nutrition – and compromise food choices raise serious issues that are worth consideration by anyone concerned about nutrition and health."
Reference: Marion Nestle, Food Politics, University of California Press, 2002.

Places to Start...
There is LOADS of information on this site, so to get started please read:

• Eye-opening Articles (Below) - A comprehensive list of fantastic and informative articles, mostly from third-party sources. If you don't know where to start and this is all new to you, these articles will start you off right.

• The True Dangers of Soy - Click here to go to my NEW Soy page! You won't want to touch the stuff after you read this. I'm adding to it constantly, so check back often for the very latest!

• What's Wrong With the Government's 12 Food Guide Pyramids? - Point by point you'll learn why these pyramids are still misleading about health and nutrition.

• Man-Wolf-Sheep: A Comparison - Compares the digestive systems of each mammal and shows the VAST difference between herbivores and omnivores. If you want to see why man is not physically designed to eat an entirely vegetable-based diet, this will illustrate the facts for you based on science.

• Visual Aids & Stats
- This site is very text intensive, so these illustrations are a quick way to get the info without lots of reading. A picture is worth a thousand words. Hopefully the visual aids will spark your interest enough to read further.

• The Food Utilization Chart.
- Rather than relying on the Department of Agriculture's Faulty Food Guide Pyramid for how to eat, the Food Utilization Chart explains what your body does with the different foods you eat. Want to understand what foods build your body structure from the cell up and what foods just store body fat? This will illustrate it for you, along with some good dietary advice. All based on real science, not opinion!

• Quotes
- Get inspired and learn something from some of the greatest minds such as Einstein, Feynman and more.

Suggestion: I highly recommend reading the book: Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, by Dr. Westin Price! This book contains real-life proof that nutrition is the foundation for good health and that we literally "are what we eat." You can find this out-of-print book at www.amazon.com.

Also please read: The Whole Soy Story, The Dark Side of Everyone's Favorite Health Food, by Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD, CCN. Everything you need to know about soy is here and I consider it a must ready for anyone who questions the negative soy info contained in this website. You can find this book also at www.amazon.com.

Please visit: http://www.healthmyths.net to learn the truth behind the dangers of prescription drugs. Shane Ellison M.Sc. has done a massive amount of research into this subject and his information will astound you! I strongly urge you to buy his book, Health Myths Exposed. You can purchase either an e-book for download or a hard copy to be mailed to you.

"It is proved by history, and especially by statistics, that human actions are governed by laws as fixed and regular as those which rule in the physical world. Climate, soil, food, and the aspects of nature are the principal causes of intellectual progress. Religion, literature, and government are, at best, but the products, and not the cause of civilization."

Get the science and learn how to protect yourself from bad advice, harmful eating habits, and dangerous cholesterol lowering drugs!

Wake Up, What Are You Eating? - A great article to introduce you to the proper way of eating and start you on the road to understanding how your body works.

Comparing The Herbivore & Carnivore (PDF Format) - The full article that coincides with Man-Wolf-Sheep: A Comparison. Shows unequivocally why humans are meant to eat meat and are about as different from an herbivore as it is possible to be! The original article presenting this informative comparison can be found at: http://www.second-opinions.co.uk/carn_herb_comparison.html

Cinderella's Dark Side (PDF Format) - Learn the truth about the dangers of soy. This article was written by Sally Fallon and Mary J. Enig, experts on health and nutrition. It is fully referenced and backed by established science. One of the best articles on soy you'll ever read!

Health Experts Urge FDA to Deny Soy Protein (PDF Format) - Soy manufacturers were and are trying to get approval from the FDA to make anti-cancer claims for soy. Read the shocking truth and again learn how dangerous this supposed "miracle" food really is!

They Hailed it as a Wonderfood (PDF Format) - If preserving your health is not enough reason to avoid eating soy, read what's being done to our rainforests to produce it! You'll be shocked and appalled at how much damage is being done by soy crops. It will make you sick!

The First Low-Carb Book is Nearly 150 Years Old! (PDF Format) - Think Low-Carb is a new thing? Think again. This is a fantastic article. Too bad no one listened way back then. Maybe we wouldn't be suffering the huge increase in disease and ill health we are today!

Myths of Vegetarianism (PDF Format) - A great article that clears up any misunderstandings about vegetarianism and your health.

The Neglected Nutritional Research of Dr. Westin Price, DDS (PDF Format) - This is the article that first turned me on to Dr. Price's amazing book "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration!" He spent years traveling the world to learn first hand, through real life results, how much of a role diet played in overall health. You won't look at nutrition the same again after reading his book! It is now out of print, but you can find it here at www.amazon.com.

What if it's All Been a Big Fat Lie? (PDF Format) - The New York Times article from July 7, 2002 that questions current calorie-counting dietary practices in favor of the Low-Carb lifestyle.

What's Wrong

With The Government's 12 Food Pyramids?


Orange represents Grains (bread, cereal, pasta, rice, crackers, etc.) - They are still recommending FAR TOO MUCH of these foods in your diet! Browse around this website and you'll see why their recommendations are wrong.

Green represents Vegetables - They don't distinguish between the starchy (sugary) veggies and the green, leafy kind. Sugar content varies greatly depending on the vegetable, so their recommendations miss the whole point when it comes to weight management and pancreatic health!

Red represents Fruits - Once again they don't distinguish between the very sugary fruits and the ones with less sugar. Fruits should be minimized in your diet, because they will add excess body fat if you aren't careful.

Blue represents Milk - They recommend low-fat or fat-free which is absolutely Terrible Advice! Please read up on milk by clicking on the link under "M".

Purple represents Meat & Beans- This is INSANE! It would take 6 POUNDS of beans to equal 8 ounces of animal-based protein - and a 150 pound person needs a minimum of 1 pound of protein a day! Why does it take so many beans to equal enough bio-available protein? Because the protein is locked in the cellulose (plant fiber) of the bean. Besides, beans convert almost entirely to sugar in your system. They are a TERRIBLE replacement for animal-based protein! Also, beans are vegetables, NOT meat!

Yellow represents Fats & Oils - This color band is so small it's barely visible, which is unbelievable when some of the most IMPORTANT nutrients you need in your diet are natural fats and oils (like EFAs, unprocessed oils and animal fats). Please read about healthy fats and EFAs by clicking on the appropriate links to the left.

Our government has done the most bizarre thing by coming up with a grand total of 12 pyramids! This is appalling! Nutritionally, we ALL need exactly the SAME thing! All of the information you need to make the smartest food choices can be found here at this website! You don't need to waste your time figuring out which of the 12 pyramids fits you!

Also, they've included exercise as a part of these new pyramids. Since when is exercise a food group? Granted, exercise is important, but it just seems strange that it should be included in the food pyramid.
