Exposing dietary misinformation

Why 'healthy eating' isn't!



This section looks at the 'healthy eating' dogma that spews forth regularly from governments, nutritionists, dieticians, doctors and other health 'experts'. It shows the 'other side' of the debate which demonstrates why 'healthy eating' isn't!


Subsections


My Presentation at the Weston A Price Seminar, London, 21 March 2010
This presentation combines several lines of evidence to demonstrate that eating a low-fat, low-meat diet could be at the root of our health problems today


Good health begins with a good breakfast of fried bacon and eggs
Choline, first recognised as an essential nutrient in 1998, is known to be essential to good brain development in infancy, and for good health later in life. Here's the story.


You Are What Your Grandparents Ate
There is evidence from a new scientific discipline called Epigenetics which strongly suggests that how we eat today could have a profound effect, not just on our health, but on future generations.


UK Food Standards Agency shows its ignorance
In February 2009, the UK’s Food Standards Agency (FSA) launched a concerted campaign to get us all to reduce the amount of saturated fat in our diets — thus demonstrating their ignorance of the the likely consequenses


Nanny state at its most ridiculous, most costly, and most dangerous
On Monday 26 January 2009, UK's Daily Express published stories that illustrated the sheer and utter incompetence and wastefulness of the present government and our 'health' boffins. It also demonstrated how the 'health' industry is able to con the media so that they can profit from our ill-health.


Unhealthy dogma means unhealthy food.
Milk and dairy produce is thought to cause cancer and other diseases. But it is only low-fat dairy which does; full-cream dairy actually protects us.


Our love affair with fat — a historical perspective
We are told that we should not eat animal fat — that it's bad for us. But all cultures from the arctic to the equator have always eaten animal fats.


Carbohydrates Suppress Your Immune Function
We are advised to eat a largely carbohydrate-based diet, but we have known for over a quarter of a century that this increases our risk of cancers and infectious diseases.


I am vindicated!
I have been living, researching, teaching and writing about the benefits of low-carb for over 40 years. Now, at last, the medical profession is getting the message: a Past president of American College of Cardiology says 'healthy diet' no longer defensible.


"Healthy" fruit and veg don't reduce cardiovascular risk.
We are told to eat "five portions of fruit and vegetables a day". Why? What evidence is there for this recommendation? This study finds no benefit.


You don't need to eat '5 portions' — again
Two more studies find no need to eat 5-portions a day. Two a week are quite sufficient.


Dietary Bran Fibre Increases Cancer Risk
Eat more bran, we are told, to reduce your risk of colon cancer. But the evidence is that bran increases the risk!


Salt and Hypertension
Cut down on salt? Why? it is only a low-salt diet that seems to be unhealthy.


Vitamin D. The most important vitamin?
Why you must get as much sun as possible.


Panic attacks brought on by eating a "healthy" diet based on bread, pasta and fruit
Read one woman's experiences when her hypoglycaemia went unrecognised and the devastating effects in terms of her deemed suitability for future employment.


Eating Animal Fats DON'T Cause Breast Cancer.
During the third week of July, 2003, two studies were published which purported to show that eating animal fat caused breast cancer. NO THEY DON'T! Here are the studies. Read them for yourself.
