If I asked you to name a few degenerative diseases, diabetes, heart diseases, Cancer, osteoporosis and probably a few autoimmune diseases would probably be the ones that come to mind.
Now, say the reasons behind. Ok, ok….I almost hear it coming; “- high fat, high sugar and too much red meat” – Guess what! You are chanting the mainstream mantra from mainstream organizations and you are a part of the mainstream crowd that is almost mainstream-ly sick.
My simple question: If following mainstream recommendations gives you a clean sheet from all that agony, why are there so many unhappy faces around? Shouldn’t everyone be happy and healthy people instead by following the professional advices, both dietary and medical? After all, the USDA Food Guide Pyramid and the USFDA Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) are the last words in healthy living. Could they be wrong?
Do you think if you follow those recommendations more people would fall sick or improve their health? Well let’s dive deeper into dangerous health myths you’ve been fooled to believe.
What kills you?
Most will answer bullets, accidents and diseases…what about a too hygienic lifestyle? And then, foods? Then there are the medicinal – I dare say – habits; together, it becomes a wonderful recipe for disaster.
Uncovering fatal myths
Remember what’s in the mothers’ milk? 58% fat, 12% protein and 30% carbohydrates, which is lactose (milk sugar). No nutritionist is better than Mother Nature herself, so if you are currently on a low fat and carb, high protein diet, you are paving the way towards a perfectly ruined health.
But you don’t have to be an Eskimo either in your dietary preference. Some argue an all meat diet is the perfect diet and cite Eskimos as burning examples. The temperature and climate has got a lot to do with that. Their genetics are structured that way; ours are not.
But then again, ours are not the polar opposites as you might be thinking. It’s different, but not so much, which tells us that we need to eat things that closely resemble theirs. But you have been fooled to believe these 5 health destroying lies instead.
1. Saturated fats bring heart diseases and cancer.
That means meat, butter and lard, right? Some nasty things doing further nasty things like raising cholesterol and jamming the heart, or causing breast cancer in pre-menopausal women. Then how do we define French paradox? Most French are Caucasians, genetically, like the rest of us, so how does a diet very high in saturated fat creates just 30% of cardiac patients than in the US? The French consume much less carbs. So the basic point is: all these days, you have been listening to a BIG, FAT LIE!
Saturated fats and cholesterol build the steroid hormones, without which, the heart staggers (in men) and the bones turns thin (with both men and women). A low-carb diet with saturated fats just lower triglycerides and increases the good HDL cholesterol, thus improving cholesterol ratios. they also help building stronger cell walls and improve the chances of survival of the cell.
The problem is not the cholesterol in eggs or the saturated fat in red meat; the problem is inactivity. You need some amount of physical exertion to start the process; you avoid fat (including Omega-3 fatty acids; we’ll come to that in a little while) and it will break your heart and bones in its literal sense.

2. Vegetarianism is a healthy way of eating.
Really? Maybe for them who have been brought up on vegetarian food for generations and got their genetics shaped that way, but for the average omnivore human, a sudden shift to true vegetarianism will make the essential minerals and amino acids go down in the body in no time. Besides, you only draw 20% of the total nutrients (on an average) from vegetarian foods; how do you plan to survive omitting the rest 80%? Do you think rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, IBS and fibromyalgia are just bad luck? No, vegetarian food mostly triggers candida and that itself is responsible for all of the above and even cancers and cysts outside the intestines and colon. If your ancestors and you weren’t mostly vegetarian, make sure you test and listen to your body before doing a drastic dietary changes.
3. Omega fatty acids are next to GOD
That’s omega-3 fat, not the monounsaturated omega-9 as found in olive oil and polyunsaturated omega-6 so abundant in nuts, grains and seeds. They are inflammatory by nature and breast cancer is just one of the ills they bring. To understand the difference between omega fatty acids, check out the articles below:

4. Carbohydrates: A healthy energy source
Let’s get it straight: no carbohydrate is healthy enough; at most you can differentiate them into dreadful and plain bad. But it’s something like a necessary evil, best before indulging into any sort of physical activity. Why carbs are best when it’s low? Because they cause insulin rush first and insulin resistance later on. The body is designed to create glucose from fats and proteins (gluconeogenesis) and maintain a healthy level of it in the blood put it in any extra and it will be a grand fiesta for the unfriendly bacteria and fungi within. It makes them stronger and the gut microflora gets a hard time keeping up the balance. Often they are defeated and you develop infections that lead to symptoms such as obesity, gluten intolerance and IBS.
5. More fiber for healthy digestion
The claim that fiber is an excellent peristalsis inducer doesn’t hold when you are pairing it with high levels of carbohydrates. Carbs cause bacteria and yeasts to overgrow, which infect the intestines and slows down mobility. You take fibers on top of that, the cellulose in it feeds the bacteria and they wreck havoc in the colon. Welcome to leaky gut syndrome!

This is an act of deception. There is all kinds of misinformation put out by meat and dairy and other concerns. Fruits and vegetables are loaded with anti-cancer agents that are so powerful they not only fight cancer and heart disease but actually work with the body to destroy cancer. Coconut oil is a saturated fat- or more accurately a medium chain triglyceride and can do everything from end constipation to reverse diabetes (combined with a high leafy green-orangy-red vegies and multi colored fruit diet). There are a tiny bit of truth sprinkled in this article but it is only for the purpose of lending support to what is nothing other than a mass of lies. If you go back to the 1940s and before meat was very uncommon in the broad population’s diet- the farther back you go vegetation and grains with some fish were the nearly exclusive diet. It was very rare to have cancer or heart disease before 1900. The vast swath of human history is primarily sea based- fishing and crops were heavily grain based as grains can store for decades with no degradation. Mass animal husbandry requires huge land resources and feeds relatively few. The daily staff of life was bread for countless generations. Bread is richly beneficial to human health despite the misinformation put out by pseudo-science. It is loaded with components that actually aid human health. House cats, unlike their wild cousins are fish eaters because their human companions were also fish eaters as most people live by the sea- absorbing iodine and magnesium through skin, air and food so abundant by the sea. We are designed to survive an almost anything but to thrive and prevent degeneration we ideally we need vegetative matter- fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds, berries and the like. Everything from the design of our teeth to the design of our digestive system are built to process vegetative matter. Today we can enjoy these components even more intensely by making use of advanced juicers which help extract the super nutrition of vegetation. Combined with papaya enzyme to maximise absorption of these super nutrients and isolation efforts we can increase our intake of nutrients to levels never before possible . With organic only methods we can now grow enough to feed or families and others from our yards and balconies. Be well, by eating the vegetative matter we were designed ideally to eat and yes it is ok to have an occasional treat of not so good for you alternatives. Olive oil is a literal miracle. Ice cream combines the two worst things for heart disease- heavy fats and sugar- guaranteed to cause the lovely people killer called the “widow maker” a type of heart attack so catastrophic it is guaranteed to kill- have some tofu and chocolate chip icecream made with stevia or splenda in a low cost home ice cream maker(cuisinart–80 bucks or Kitchenaid also has an addon for the mixers) – do not fall for the deceptions of carefully worded propaganda.
