America’s Food Fight, Part 1
January 31, 2017
Nina Teicholz, author of “The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet,” dishes on America’s food fight—the controversy over the optimal diet for the nation. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) enshrine recommendations for at least 1/4 of the populace dependent on some form of government food. They also influence our food choices, guide the food industry, and serve as a role model for the entire world’s population. The DGA are out of step with the latest scientific findings, which largely exonerate saturated fat and meat as health risks. The result is that organizations like the American Heart Association still exhort Americans to avoid red meat, use only low-fat dairy, and substitute refined vegetable oils for butter and lard. This has been catastrophic for American’s health over the last several decades. Nina Teicholz is the author of a highly contentious article that appeared in the BMJ (formerly the British Medical Journal). The article critiqued the DGA, calling into question their scientific basis. Teicholz details the firestorm of controversy that her BMJ article generated. She fought back, even in the face of a demand for retraction. Ultimately, the BMJ stood by her article. Teicholz details how the food industry has enlisted government to distort nutrition facts. Should we continue to look to the government as the arbiter of nutritional truth? Is saturated fat from vegetable sources like coconut and palm oil OK? Could telling Americans to eat more fat backfire? If you exercise does it really mean you can eat whatever you want? Click HERE for part 2.

One Man’s Harvard-Documented Remission of Incurable Cancer Using Only Natural Methods, Part 1
N of 1: One man’s Harvard-documented remission of incurable cancer using only natural methods.” In 1991, Glenn Sabin was faced with a dilemma: He was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a slowly progressing but incurable cancer. He declined a bone marrow transplant which carried with it a 20% mortality risk. Gradually, he adopted lifestyle measures which kept his cancer at bay until 2003, when his disease came back with a vengeance. But with diet, exercise, stress reduction and targeted supplements he managed to reverse his condition to the point where at present no trace of cancer is detectable—without resorting to conventional treatments. His story became the subject of a peer-reviewed article in a medical journal. What diet worked for Glenn? What role did stress reduction play in his recovery? What nutraceuticals did he rely on? Why is Glenn reluctant to use the term “cure?” What’s the message for cancer sufferers? Click HERE for part 2.
