After reading many studies on nutrition, etc…I’ve come to the conclusion. Perhaps its not meat. Perhaps its not saturated fat. Perhaps it’s not Grains. Perhaps it’s not butter. Perhaps it’s not fat. Perhaps none of these things are what make people fat, ill and die. Perhaps it’s the processed food that “MAN” makes? Study’s said that saturated is bad, yet a closer look reveals that when the clogged up artery is cut and the contents inspected it turns out that only 26% of that fat is saturated and the rest is, yep, you used it, polyunsaturated. The healthy fat that were meant to eat. Now to my point. It seems that when we include processed food into our diet that’s when problems happen. I’m not talking brown rice here, or grains, I’m talking bread, things that come in boxes, made by man, not God. When people eat a diet that is based on nature they usually stay healthy, yet when exposed to Man’s creations they get ill. Remember the Okinawa study? They live a long, long time, eat mostly grains, etc…Well it turns out that’s true, but only just. They actually eat a lot of grain, vegetables but also fat, high fat sea food and pork. Now they eat no processed food. None. They are healthy. Now the next country on the list to live the longest is … The Swiss! Yep, and they eat a diet high high in fat, but again, very little processed food. Now the American and British food pyramid says that we should eat 7-11 servings of grain and processed cabs a day! How mad is that? Here’s what I think the new food pyramid should look like, starting with the most import nutrients:
WATER
VEGETABLES
FRUITS
NUTS/SEEDS
MEAT/FAT
DAIRY
SUGAR
Just my humble opinion…but thought you might be interested.
