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?

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.
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?
Vegetarianism
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.
The problems with 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.
