Lets discuss

Modern humans are literally starving. Now this might seem strange, but hear me out. There is hardly a bigger and more powerful shift in thinking than what you can achieve by realizing this nearly-irrefutable truth.


It is known that Americans, for example, have increased their caloric consumption over the past few decades while obesity rates have climbed. Why did we eat more? Because we were hungrier. Why were we hungrier? Because we were starving.


During that same time period the average body temperature declined. Even the NY Times has written about this in a recent article entitled “Rethinking 98.6.” Why did body temperature decline? Because we are starving. The body does not run its temperature at below-ideal levels for fun. In fact, if you want to read about how little fun it is, I suggest you read the 80-plus chapter on symptoms of having a low body temperature in Mark Starr’s, Hypothyroidism Type 2: The Epidemic.​

Ever wondered why the more we lower cholesterol levels, the higher the rate of heart disease goes?

My favorite thought on cholesterol comes from Sally Fallon, where she compares cholesterol to police in a high crime area. In areas where crime is higher, the police force is larger. However, the police are a sign that something is wrong, not the cause of it.

So what exactly is cholesterol, and why are we all so afraid of it? Cholesterol is the body's healing substance. When there is damage in the body, cholesterol is what our body sends in to fix it up.
People who have suffered from heart attacks often DO have higher cholesterol. And that makes sense. There was damage in the body that led to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), so the body sent cholesterol to help repair the damage.

When people use cholesterol lowering drugs and other methods to lower their cholesterol, they are lowering one factor that shows up in people who have had heart attacks. But if they are just lowering the sign that something is wrong, and not the cause, then heart attacks will continue occur.​

And the rest.... from http://simplyrealfood.blogspot.com/ Posting these quotes, as its savign me time

Sometimes studying all this conflicting information about nutrition is enough to make you crazy! (For example, if you watched the clip, you notice that the authors didn't seem to think wheat was a good thing either. I disagree with that one, and we are wheat eaters at our house!) For me, I read and study what I can, but I ask myself two questions when deciding what my family should eat:
1. Is it traditional? (Have people been eating this food for a long time? Or is this a new product, something that a corporation came up with?)
2. Is this how God designed it to be eaten? (Is it in a whole form or has it been chemically altered?)

I used to be more mainstream in my thinking. I was always jumping on the next new science. But when I started reading some of the lierature out there, I realized that not only does science not have all the answers, much of what they've taught us has been wrong.

In the concluding paragraph of her section on fats in Nourishing Traditions, Sally Fallon says,

"In summary, our choice of fats and oils is one of extreme importance. Most people, especially infants and growing children, benefit from more fat in the diet rather than less. But the fats we eat must be chosen with care. Avoid all processed foods containing newfangled hydrogenated fats and polyunsaturated oils. Instead, use traditional vegetable oils like extra virgin olive oil and small amounts of unrefined flax seed oil. Aquaint yourself with the merits of coconut oil for baking and with animal fats for occasional frying. Eat egg yolks and other animal fats with the protein to which they are attached. And, finally, use as much good quality butter as you like, with the happy assurance that it is a wholesome-- indeed an essential-- food for you and your whole family."​
