- Every time I ask someone if they eat
a healthy diet and take a good multivitamin/mineral, they invariably say,
"yes." They go on to explain how they first follow the
"New Food Pyramid" (consuming lots of bread, pasta, cereal, fruit
juice & milk)... ...and then they tell me they take a "Centrum"
multi to, you know, insure they are covered from "A" to "Zinc."
They smile at the witticism...
-
- I'll cut right to the chase. The
preceding is a recipe for unhealthful disaster.
-
- Why? Because the "food
pyramid," is a corporate-driven lie (read LTR# 12, 13 & 15 at
http://www.alienview.net/ALLTCON.html ). It is an egregious
lie benefiting the few at the cruel expense of the many! Sincerely,
all multi-vit/min (like "Theragram", "One-a-Day",
and even "Flintstone") from grocery stores and the like are,
pretty much, an unhealthful waste of money for the following two reasons:
-
- FIRST - these very cheaply manufactured
tablets often pass through the system without even being completely dissolved! This
is because these pills are semi-indigestible little pebbles hard pressed
at high temperature and pressure . They are shellacked pellets with
a pharmaceutical glaze coating and they are armored and bound with synthetic
chemicals like dicalcium phosphate and magnesium sterate.
-
- SECOND - virtually every ingredient
is the absolute cheapest and LEAST ABSORBABLE synthetic form
of the many forms available! In most cases, this not only makes
them more difficult to assimilate, but can have adverse reactions like
diarrhea... as opposed to the non-adverse effects of organically chelated
minerals and "food based" Vitamins & binders.
This is the tip of the iceberg hazarding you and those you love, reader!
The stuff gleefully sold to you to enhance your health can actually
degrade it!
-
- Part of the reason for using these synthetic
binders and inferior forms of minerals that are inorganic salts (as
opposed to superior organic chelated minerals?), other than being cheap
(...forgetting that's the main reason...), is to be able to get all
that "crap" into one convenient pill that's not too big.
Synthetic binders and inorganic salts take up less space, you see?
The per unit costs are reduced so a greater corporate profit is realized.
It's too bad that it degrades the product to the point of possible health hazardousness
and uselessness.
-
- That is unfortunate, indeed.
-
- In contrast -- some of the better, more
expensive supplements, using food based binders and organic chelated minerals,
usually have to use a bigger tablet or capsule... or separate the daily
dose into 2, 3 or 4 tablets (or capsules). One of my favorite Multis,
in fact, recommends 6 capsules daily! Of course it has about
anything you could ever want with regard to health enhancement, from Digestive
Enzymes to Myco-Defense Mushrooms and more. Fine wine compared
with pond water, reader. I don't remotely overstate this!
-
- Also, the better tablets or caplets are
pressed under, more expensive, 'cooler' temperatures. This is forgetting,
of course, that the chemical form of the vitamins or minerals incorporated are
likely the best and most ABSORBABLE non-synthetic forms
available! See the difference reader?
-
- Here's yet another applicable Dr.
Zorba Pasture anecdote...:
-
- "Tom", Dr. Pasture's radio
side-kick, read an email to Zorba on his NPR radio show regarding
a person who was taking a fairly expensive Multivitamin/Mineral requiring
the consumption of 3 tablets daily...
-
- Incomprehensibly ignorant once again
in his animated, bemused, and incredulous radio-voice, Zorby loudly exclaimed
"THAT'S TOO MANY"!
-
- You could tell by his reaction that he
thought the writer was taking 3 times a "normal" dose. So "Side-Kick-Tom"
(whom I suspect has about 10 I.Q. points on Dr. Z ) said
"Zorba, I think that means the SINGLE daily dose is divided into
3 pills." to which Zorba said "Ohh ?... Well it's still too many
- you only need one Vitamin pill daily."
-
- He moved on. I was just incredulous!
What a bone-headed thing to say, eh reader? Absolutely. An
expression of pompous ignorance at best! At worst?
-
- OK...Why would a brilliant doctor with
a world wide listening audience think it so strange & unnecessary to
divide a dose of something into 3 smaller doses throughout the day...Gee,
don't they do that with pharmaceuticals all the time?
-
- I suspect that most people who know NOTHING
about nutritional supplementation could easily visualize how dividing nutrients
into 3 separate doses would be a good thing... and best practice... thereby having
a relatively constant "Trickle-charge" of supplements throughout
the day! After all, don't we all try to eat three meals a day for
that very reason? AND...because most supplements work in synergy with food, doesn't
it make sense to take these supps. 3 times daily with meals... ...Am I
missing something?
-
- Additionally, it is a well established
fact in the holistic health community that one can only absorb about 500mg
of Calcium at any one time! So if you take a 1000mg to1500mg
dose of Cal. all at once (like Dr. Z recommends)... aren't
you wasting a bunch of it!
-
- Folks, Dr. Pasture does not
have the training to understand & appreciate just how complicated
it can be to fully utilize any mineral, especially Calcium, and
just how many Vitamins, Minerals & co-factors have to fall in place,
domino-like, to accomplish this. It can be a difficult,
slow, and inefficient process that handles only "so much"
at a time.
-
- This is because Minerals, themselves, are
INORGANIC so Mother Nature must use a couple of time-consuming
tricks to get them into a configuration that can then be incorporated
into "The Bio-System". Me? I feel I understand
this science. I take 500mg of Elemental, Amino Acid Chelated Calcium,
3 times daily.
-
- Back to Dr. Z who has the temerity
to ignorantly mock those people who "foolishly" buy expensive
Multi Vit/Min. He says that folks should buy the cheapest, discount
store, generic, giant-size bottle for about $12.00 a YEAR ... as long
as it has the USP (United States Pharmacopeia) Seal ... This is a 'seal'
essentially meaning that the product contains what's on the label
& that it meets the MINIMUM standards to call itself a multi-vitamin.
The reader might remember the character of corporate lap-dogs setting those
standards. The USP is supposedly "non-governmental"
but their test criteria is recognized by the Government as the official
source.
-
- Here's what the CSPI has to say:
-
- "Center for Science in the Public
Interest" -- For Immediate Release: October 4, 2002;
-
- New Supplement Certification Program
May Mislead Consumers :USP Mark Does Not Mean Ingredient Is Safe Or Effective."
-
- What!?!
-
- Yes folks, it's true! Virtually
ALL supplemental *watch-dog* organizations like the USP only verify
"Potency & Purity" ...and may check to see if
it meets the standards for dissolving (those standards are pretty
low)... BUT! They don't care or comment about the efficacy of
a particular ingredient.
-
- For example, one Multi may have Magnesium
Oxide (which is Crap, reader!) while another uses Magnesium Citrate ( which
is a superior form)... but both will get the same passing grade as long
as they meet "Potency & Purity"! So, if you have a
Multi Vit/Min where EVERY ingredient is the cheapest, least absorbable
form, what you have is a "Crapola-Multi" with a USP Seal...in
other words, you have Centrum, Theragram, One a Day, Flintstones, etc,
etc...
-
- "Flintstones", reader!
Flintstones! They're our children for god's sake!
-
- It is difficult to imagine a Multi that
is inferior to the already inferior multi's like Centrum, etc... but if
you CAN find a really, really cheap, discount, generic multi
with 365 hard pressed tablets for $11.99 at Sam's Club or whatever, with
a USP seal, then that's the one you want... ...according to the good doctor
"Z."
-
- So, Let me get this straight... Zorba
wants you to put "Stuff" in your body that barely meets
the minimum standards to call itself a Multi, OKed by the Government.
Hummm... But how does he feel about his car?
-
- WELL...a couple of the government's "non-governmental"
agencies put their seal on very cheap motor oil that meets the minimum
standards to call itself Motor Oil ... here's what http://www.metrokc.gov/procure/green/oil.htm
has to say:
-
- "Several oil companies now market
products that have been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API).
API Certification is the basis for warranty requirements of motor vehicle
manufacturers and thus is used in specifications of motor oil buyers. Other
technologies, such as simple filtration, have also been used to recycle
used motor oil. These technologies are often sufficient to make
used oil useful as a substitute for virgin oil in fuel applications."
-
- The SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers)
stamp of approval is on even very cheap "No-name" motor
oils that meet the requirements for military vehicles...
-
- ...So, here's my question to Zorba --
does he put that cheap, "cleaned-up" used motor oil or cheap
"No-name" new oil in his new "BMW"? Seeing
as how it meets the minimum standards, set by the Government to call itself
motor oil... he should, considering his faith in government "Seals" ...but somehow
I doubt it... Zorba would have more respect for his "Beamer"...just
not much respect for your body & human physiology.
-
- This is pure speculation because I have
no idea what kind of car he has, but if he has a nice new one, I bet he
doesn't put cheap generic oil in it. In fact, ask 1000 MDs who
own new 700 Series Mercedes if they use "cleaned
& filtered" used motor oil, considering virtually all
car manufactories say that it meets their warranty requirements!
I bet 99.9% will say "HECK NO ! I use 100% Virgin, High Grade,
High Detergent, Multi Viscosity oil that comes from a single individual batch
of Pure, Pennsylvania crude drawn from the veins of Amish school girls."
-
- OK, I see...Well, Doctor... what
kind of Vitamins do you take and recommend? "Oh, it doesn't
matter much... use any brand with the USP Seal"?
-
- So...putting a cheap, harsh, inferior,
synthetic, poorly absorbed (and in my opinion, unhealthful), possibly toxic
supplement in your body is OK because of some Mickey Mouse "Seal"
that doesn't really tell you what you need to know and misleads you on
the rest... ...but cheap motor oil with an official seal is not OK... does
the reader see the dichotomy or smell the inconsistency... ...feel the
disjunct?
-
- These self-same MDs would be the first
to tell you the human body is a high performance biological machine, reader...
you want to run rapidly "gunkable", bargain basement *oil*
in the only bio-machine you will ever have? I suspect not, on reflection.
-
- And this is the real kicker of irony!
That cheaper, recycled motor oil will do a MUCH more efficacious job
in your car than those "Crap" Vitamins will ever do in your body!
-
- By the way...don't tell "Dr. 700
Series", but MERCEDES has been putting RECYCLED OIL in THEIR
NEW CARS for YEARS !!!
-
- Wait a minute Mr. Graham! Do YOU
use that cheap recycled oil in your car? ...Huh, Who Me? ...No freaking
Way!
-
- Just kidding Folks...that was the old
Al,...because I'm a "Green" sort of guy, I am going to start
using recycled oil - not because of some government-blessed organization's
"Seal" but because a bunch of Teutonic Engineers at Mercedes-Benz
are probably on to something. (...und you vill like it !!)
-
- You see...now all you have to do is get
Dr. Mercola www.mercola.com & the Leaf lady www.leaflady.org
to start taking grocery store vitamins and explain how they
are superior ...then I will start taking Centrum...just like the recycled
oil. OK, take a deep breath and hold it...
-
- The following describes three key
things to look for when determining the efficacy of your multivitamin:
-
- Vitamin "E" -- the most obvious
indicator of an inferior multivit... is the use of the petrochemical synthetic
form of Vitamin "E" -- "DL" alpha tocopherol (the "d"
and "l" should actually be lower case... I cap them for
ease of reading), as opposed to the natural forms "D" alpha (no
"L") and/or, even better, Natural Mixed tocopherol ...( This
superior Mixed form has beta, gamma, and delta along with the alpha).
In the synthetic "DL" form, (the synthetic is always a
double molecule) the "L" molecule is a mirror image of the usable
"D" molecule, making the "L" unusable by humans.
Unfortunately the "L" still fits nicely into the Vitamin "E"
receptor site, much like many keys will fit in a certain style of key-hole
but only one key will turn the lock. Consequently the "L"
molecule is "plugging the keyhole", so to speak, and not allowing
the usable "D" in to turn same! Think chewing gum
in the keyhole.
-
- This means that out of the 400 IU of
"DL" Vit. "E" that you paid for, only about 150 IU,
or less, are actually being used by you. It gets worse.
-
- According to the Canadian Government
(you could perhaps argue the red-herring that Canada has an axe to grind
because they grow lots of soy beans for natural Vit. "E" but
don't even bother): Even though the usable synthetic "D"
molecule and the natural "D" molecule, in theory - on paper,
are identical... ...Canadian science claims that the human body still tells
the difference... and whereas synthetic "D" is used but one
time, the natural "D" is used over and over again... ...several
times! Magic!
-
- This inexplicable recycling of one "D"
molecule, but not the other, results in two to three times the vitamin
"E" found in most tissue (...biopsy of the brain revealing the
highest!). Hmmm... Mother Nature on the job, I'm betting!
-
- Mineral Forms -- The other sure sign
of product inferiority is the form of minerals used. These are
the cheap inorganic salts like carbonate, oxide, and phosphate. These
inorganic mineral forms are difficult to absorb and they are
much more likely to cause problems -- a good example of this is magnesium
oxide causing diarrhea.
-
- The inorganic calcium form Carbonate,
found in Centrum (et sig al) is very difficult to absorb because the carbonate
(...also in Tums, btw!) neutralizes the very stomach acid that is required
for good absorption.
-
- So when a doctor tells you Tums is a
"good source of calcium", they're either lying or they are a
bonehead (like Zorba, who says it all the time). Always look for organic
chelation, in the preferred form "Amino Acid Chelation"
(like the Albion Process), or "citrate" ( especially
for calcium ) or malate, lactate, etc. Also, "Krebs Cycle
Chelation" is very, very good.
-
- Vitamin "D" -- If the Vit.
D is D-2, it's no good - this is the cheap crap found in milk. Always
make sure it is the more active form D-3 found in Cod Liver Oil, Eggs
& the better supplements.
-
- The preceding three examples should
be sufficient indicators as to the quality of a multivitamin: SO...
-
- If the label says "DL" alpha
tocopherol, calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide & Vit. D-2 ...
put it back! Quick and dirty!
-
- But, if it says "D" alpha,
or Mixed tocopherol, calcium citrate (etc), magnesium amino acid chelation
(etc) & Vit. D-3 -- BUY IT... ...because this means the rest of
the ingredients are almost sure to be OK. You don't have to
peruse the whole tedious laundry list...but if you're like me, you will
do so anyway. Label reading should be a required course in high school.
-
- In descending order: I prefer supplements
that are liquid, scoop-able powder, capsules, and then food based tablets
or caplets.
-
- Sublingual (under the tongue) tablets
or sprays are actually the best absorbed ( by going directly into the bloodstream
) and in some cases necessary, if easily destroyed by stomach acid...
like SOD & Glutathion or like B12, which needs an "Intrinsic
Factor" in the gut to be absorbed (often missing); however, some
supplements don't work very well this sublingual way.
-
- Fortunately, Methylcobalamin "B-12"
and B-12 Complexes with folic acid & B-6 do work well sublingually.
-
- Also, don't automatically poo-poo tablets
in favor of capsules -- some things have to be in a specially coated
tablet to make it through the stomach acid in order to open in the
gut...SAMe & SOD are examples. There is a capsule that is
designed to make it through the stomach acid and open in the gut...New
Life Colostrum is the only example I'm aware of, although I'm sure
there are others.
-
- *Medical doctors* like Zorba don't really
understand nutrition & supplements... ...and they don't want to understand
because it is in their financial interest to play dumb... thus
surreptitiously perpetuating the same old tired lies. Such is their cognitive
dissonance.
-
- Here are just a few of those lies:
-
- a)...Synthetic Vitamins are just as good
as natural Vitamins. No! No way...the most cursory research
will show this is just not true. However, doctors want people to
get used to the idea that "Synthetic is good" (or even better)
so they can push Synthetic alternatives to natural forms... Synthroid (synthetic
thyroid hormone) is a good example. Do you want to know the big reason they
give for why synthetic drugs are *better*? It is because
they can get the dosage very precise as opposed to natural forms sometimes
have slight variations...
-
- OK...so freaking what! I would
rather take something that works & works naturally, even if the dosages
have a little greater margin of error, instead of a harsh, toxic,
or inefficient form that does not work or might have harmful side
effects. A good example is natural Armour Desiccated Thyroid
Hormones as opposed to the synthetic Synthroid mentioned above.
-
- b)...You can get all the necessary nutrients
in a balanced diet... No! Please! What a festering crock,
reader...
-
- Most people are EFA (Essential Fatty
Acids) deficient -- even the sheeple who follow the New Food
Pyramid (NFP) are Omega 3 deficient! This is because we consume WAY
too much Omega 6 food oils like corn, soy, canola, sunflower, etc.
(all recommended by the NEW Food Pyramid, remember). These Omega 6 oils
overpower & shut down the Omega 3 Pathway.
-
- We further block EFA's by consuming
lots of NFP encouraged bread, cereal, pasta, juices & "Cheezy
Poofs" These inhibit the production of the D6D Enzyme needed
for conversion of the simple Omega 3 (ALA), to the more
complex "work-horse" Omega 3's: EPA & DHA!
-
- Also, many of the 70 plus trace minerals
have been leached from our soil as a result of uninformed farming... artificial
fertilizers only replace 3 of the elements! Anytime different groups
are given trace minerals, in particular really powerful, critical ones
like Selenium -- heart disease & cancer decrease! In fact the
preceding was done with a whole country... New Zealand. The selenium depleted
soil was causing several diseases, like cancer! It was corrected
by importing selenium rich meat from Australia.
-
- c)... You can meet your Calcium requirements
with 4 servings of dairy. No! How do these people use a mirror
at all! Christ retches!
-
- OK, lets say you need 1200mg of
Cal. and 4 dairy servings has 1200mg of Cal. - So there you have it,
you've met the goal...not so fast, my Friend!
-
- Do you really think you are utilizing
ALL 1200mg of that Calcium? No way, boys and girls!
-
- The Calcium/Magnesium ratio needs
to be at least a "2 to 1", and "1 to 1" would be even
better... so Milk, at a "10 to 1" ratio, has a real problem. Also,
Vitamin D-3 is needed to absorb Cal. but dairy uses Vit. D-2... ...which
is not very effective for good absorption.
-
- Additionally, the doctors & the dairy
people never mention that many other minerals, etc. are required to utilize
Calcium, things like potassium, silicon & sodium ...also
TRACE minerals like boron, zinc & copper along with 2 or
3 dozen other trace elements as co-factors. Remember the dominos
I alluded to before!
-
- So, when the women of the WHI study were
given a garbage calcium supp. (Cal. Carbonate, Zorba's favorite form!)
and the inferior form of Vitamin D ( D-2 ), the Doctors &
Dairy Industry were able to shout it from the roof-tops that Calcium supps
don't work! Outrageous duplicity, reader! They KNOW the difference!
What else can you call that... ...but evil!
-
- Something else they were reluctant to
discuss with the consumer? They didn't mention that many of those women
consumed dairy every day... and were still developing Osteoporosis!
...Got milk?
-
- My 80 year old mother consumed large
amounts of Milk, yogurt & cottage cheese her whole life to avoid the
osteoporosis that plagued her mother...you guessed it...she is bent
over double with osteoporosis, regardless! You will be lucky if you
utilize 30% of the Calcium found in milk, but if you follow the recommendations
of your doctor & the New Food Pyramid? Then you will absorb
even LESS. This is science remember!
-
- Consider folks, Doctors are not trained
in nutrition & supplementation. In medical school those courses
(if offered at all) are ELECTIVES. But the real tragedy is that the
people who do get training, the mainstream Dieticians? They just
repeat the same old tired lies they are taught in "Dietician College" that
make you sick & keep you sick. These are Schools receiving big grants
from pharmaceutical & processed food industries, remember.
-
- Here are two simple questions that you
can ask your local hospital Dieticians that will illustrate the depth of
their ignorance (or, I suspect an evil mendaciousness):
-
- QUESTION # 1... Is Extra-Virgin, 'NON'-hydrogenated coconut
oil healthful? They will say NO! ...Coconut oil is
heart unhealthful because it is saturated fat...! OK, this person
is either ignorant or evil.
-
- If they plead ignorance, it requires
purposely buying into the lie... covering their eyes & ears to the
cacophony of data everywhere! This data shows that non-hydrogenated
CCnut Oil is a magical, heart-healthy, and unique Fatty Acid (FA)!
That's why it is in every BABY FORMULA on the shelf at "WalleyWorld"!
Go look!
-
- The justification for the CCnut Oil lies
taught in Dietician College are based on a 4 decade old study where
the evil partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (pHVO) corporations
took Extra Virgin, unrefined, CCnut Oil and then HYDROGENATED it,
turned it into a poison...why? ...So they could then conduct tests
that showed it was heart unhealthy. SO... for dieticians, after
all this time, to continue to repeat that tired old canard requires
covering your ears & dropping to your knees before Satan, dammit!
Precious little hyperbole there, reader.
-
- I dare you to go to Google and punch-in
*non-hydrogenated coconut oil* -- then scan the topics and see
how far you have to scroll into the 20,000 hits before you find one that
backs the Dietician's bogus claim...I scrolled for about 15 minutes and
still had not found one. HOWEVER, there was a continuous
stream of articles, from independent researchers around the world, explaining
the efficacy of the magical MCT's (Medium Chain Triglycerides) found most
heavily in CCnut Oil.
-
- Punch-in *hydrogenated coconut
oil*! Start scanning the 300,000 hits and see how long it takes you
to find JUST ONE that has anything negative to say about unrefined, Extra-Virgin,
NON-hydrogenated CCnut Oil...BUT page after page reflects how
corporate man takes a wonderful gift of nature, unrefined coconut
oil, and turns it into an abomination through hydrogenation. This
was an evil trick to destroy the Unrefined, CCnut Oil market so a
few rich people could get, just a little, richer by selling you toxic
pHVO (partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil) and YES...toxic Hydrogenated
Coconut Oil.
-
- QUESTION # 2... Is refined, grocery store canola
oil healthful? They will say YES! Canola oil is
heart healthy because it is a Mono Unsat oil, just like Olive oil!
Also, it has healthful Omega 3 & is Very low in SatFat... OK,
do I need to say it? NO! Oh Yea, Dr. "Z" says that
"canola...just like olive oil..." crapola, all the time...
-
- There are a plethora of reasons why canola
oil is crap and should not be uttered in the same breath with Olive Oil... but
just let me give you 2 or 3.
-
- Lets look at that "just like
olive oil" by comparing two Grocery Store examples, neither
of which require refrigeration after opening (a key point).
-
- a)... Olive Oil -- It is 76% Mono oil...mono
is stable so does not readily turn rancid & toxic (R & T).
It is 8% Poly oil...poly is unstable so it will readily turn R & T.
However, most or all of this small, negligible 8%, does not readily
oxidize for two reasons : the olive, being a soft fruit, will let
you extract its oil without much pressure & heat. Also,
the large 76% mono with its compliment of antioxidants can usually
protect the small 8% poly from oxidation. Consequently, Olive Oil does
not require additional processing, like the RBDing discussed below under
Canola Oil.
-
- b)... Canola Oil -- It is only 56% Mono
oil...Yea but, isn't 56% pretty high ? Well I guess so, but the problem
is "what's left over"? Because of this lower 56%
Mono, "what's left over" is a big chunk of poly at
37%, which is NOT a negligible amount (like the measly 8% in
Olive oil), and considering it has to be pressed from a seed (the
Rape Seed), it gets hotter...so that 37% poly has to be RBDed (Refined,
Bleached & Deodorized) which means that it is already partially toxic
& rancid when you bring it home from the grocery store... ...but you
can't smell the rancidity because of the Deodorizing Process that
destroys the rancid smell with very high heat, also pretty much destroys
any nutritional value that the oil might have once had.
-
- Dieticians use 3 convenient little
lies, or misdirection's, to be able to "honestly" say Canola
oil is heart healthy :
-
- (a)...The canola oil they are always
referencing is 'Unrefined' oil which is extracted much more carefully & expensively
so the poly portion is not rancid, PLUS it must be refrigerated after
opening. You never find this kind of oil in the typical grocery store!
When is the last time you bought canola oil that had to be refrigerated?
I Know...NEVER !
-
- You see Folks, the evil, high ranking, mainstream
dieticians know that people are not going to seek out unrefined canola
and then pay 4 or 5 times as much, when they think regular, refined, grocery
store canola is healthful, based upon what dieticians DON'T tell
them.
-
- (b)... They are quick to tell you that
canola has 7% heart-healthful, Omega 3 Poly-unsat Fatty Acid. That
7% poly is part of the 37% poly mentioned above, that had to be RBDed
because it turned rancid during the refining process...in fact,
because the 7% Omega 3 is even MORE complex (thus more unstable), than
the remaining 30% Omega 6, LESS complex oil,... the Omega
3 oil is the first to go rancid. Again, the only canola with non-rancid
Omega 3 is the expensive kind that you NEVER see in Winn Dixie.
-
- (c)... They tell you Canola oil is wonderful
because, of all the food oils, it has the least amount of Saturated
Fat (SatFat) at only 7%. But, you see Folks, this is a
BAD thing... natural, undamaged, plant derived SatFat, like the
16% SatFat in Olive Oil, is GOOD FOR YOU -- if you didn't
give your body some undamaged SatFat, your body would make it on its own
to fulfill a host of critical physiological chores... SO having LESS healthful
SatFat (7% in canola) means you have MORE room left over for unhealthy
Poly Oil (the 37%).
-
- (56% Mono) + (30% Poly, Om 6) + (7% Poly,
Om 3) + (7% SatFat) = 100% Canola
-
- (76% Mono) + ( 8% Poly, OM 6) + (no rancid
Om 3) + (16% SatFat) = 100% Olive
-
- Can you see the critical differences
that makes one healthful & the other, decidedly NOT!
-
- Anecdote time: Dieticians tell so many
lies that they can't keep the lies straight without errors! Here
in our little LA (Lower Alabama) town of Ozark, a local talk show
had two young female dieticians from the local hospital talking about weight
loss & the low-carb diet. Initially, they explained that
people on a low-carb diet could have substantial weight loss, while actually
consuming many more calories, by eating caloric-dense foods like meat,
cheese, eggs, butter & mayo...
-
- Then towards the end of the show when
asked "what is the key to weight loss"? ...They dredged
up the "Dietitian School Mantra" that the "ONLY way
to lose weight was to eat a balanced diet while consuming less calories
& exercising more." WAIT A MINUTE, Skippy! Didn't
you just say you could eat a high caloric, high fat, low-carb diet and
lose substantial weight?
-
- Please show this paper to your Family
Doctor or Dietician -- then after they "spit & sputter" or
otherwise hack up an institutional hair-ball and tell you I'm wrong? Write
down their reasons as to why, will you? E-mail those reasons to me.
I will promptly e-reply as to where and how they are lying to you...
...this time, too! Sincerely, I will debate these scurrilous persons
any time... any where!
-
- Remember, as you compare our conflicting
positions; however, who has the biggest pecuniary dog in the hunt, reader!
Then watch as my dog handily shreds their dog and shows their dog for what
it really is: A conflicted shill for sociopathic corporate interests
greedily and gleefully campaigning to make us stupid. To make us
sick... Why? So they can sell us their 21st Century snake oil.
-
- Until next time, reader? Well Be.
