- |Why 'healthy eating' isn't!|
  - Eat 5 portions of fruit and veg a day; base meals on starchy foods; cut down on fats, we are all told. This message is so powerful the evidence for it must be very strong, right?
    But it isn't as this part will demonstrate.
- |Low-carb, high fat diet|
  - The first low-carb diet book for weight loss and health was written in 1863 — and it has been extensively tested in the last 150 years. It works. Here's how, and why.
- |Cholesterol & heart disease|
  - Cholesterol is probably our bodies' most important molecule. Cholesterol is essential for life. So, why are we trying to avoid it?
- |Statins|
  - And while we are on the cholesterol subject, are cholesterol-lowering drugs a healthy option?
- |Saturated Fats|
  - We are told that 'saturated fats' are unhealthy and harmful. But we humans have been eating them for ever without any evidence of harm until the late 20th century.
    Find out what has gone wrong in the last 30 years
- |Good Fats, Bad Fats|
  - We all know that there are 'good' and 'bad' fats. And it is true that there are. But the fats that you think are good and bad may actually be the other way around. Here's why.
- |Cereal Killers|
  - 'Healthy eating' tells us to base meals on starchy foods — bread, pasta, potatoes. But these are new to us and are proving to be very unhealthy for us.
NUTRITION-2 ∇
- |Cereal fibre (bran)|
  - Ever since the dawn of history, we have tried to get rid of bran. So, why do we think it healthy now.
    The studies show that it isn't!
- |Salt and blood pressure|
  - Salt is essential to health. Since we have been told to eat no more than 6 grams, salt deficiencies have become apparent.
    Just how strong is the evidence for the recommendation?
- |Vegetarian|
  - People become vegetarians for a variety of reasons: their health, the health of animals, the health of the planet.
    But what if vegetarianism were actually harmful to them all?
    Here are some facts you may not have thought of.
- |Soy|
  - Soy is widely promoted as 'healthy'. Learn why it isn't!
- |Water fluoridation|
  - Fluoride is put in our tap water. Not only is this medication without consent, fluoride is well known to be harmful to health.
    So why do they do it?
- |Diet for children|
  - Prevention is better than cure. The correct diet from conception through childhood can prevent a lot of ill-health later in life.
- |Wayne Martin|
  - Wayne Martin was a lifetime cancer researcher. Here are some of his articles
- |Odds & Sods|
  - Here are lots of other subjects, from bottled water to BSE/CJD to food additives.

EXERCISE
- Exercise is good for us. But how much is enough? What sort of exercise should we do? And is it possible to overdo exercise? Find out here.
SUNLIGHT
- The sun powers our life and confers many other benefits. Why you should get out at midday — without sunscreen.
