PULLING THE 'MASK' OFF FALSE THEORIES

Hi everyone!

I’m just gonna dive straight into it . . .

There is a lot of confusion out there around saturated fat and cholesterol - and still to this day, people “eat it up”. I’m talking about the lies and myths surrounding these two necessities for life.

Studies show that the higher cholesterol is the lower heart disease risk is (Noakes, 2015). And foods containing saturated fat actually have higher nutrition than the grain-based/plant-based diet - “sorry” vegans (Noakes, 2015, Teicholz, 2014, and Noakes, 2013).

On top of this myth, you have Personal Trainers out there perpetuating the notion that there’s ‘no bad foods, just a balanced diet’ - this is not only ignorance, but incredibly dangerous advice for those who want the ‘Health’ as well as the ‘Fitness’.

There are at least 12 bad foods (Dr. Peter Glidden - 12 Bad Foods by Dr Peter Glidden, ND (youtube.com)).

Why are they bad? Well, take a look:

Wheat, Barley, Rye, & Oats

Wheat, barley, rye and oats are part of the gluten category, and you don’t necessarily have to be allergic to them for them to cause you harm. Intolerances, however, are something that seem to be happening more frequently and even though these glutens are harming us, our bodies have an amazing adaptability, and in this context, I mean that it can continue to harm us even though it has become our “norm”. Gluten is a protein, and it is used as a broader term when referring to gluten proteins. When gluten makes contact with our small intestine it flares and swells up. Think of poison ivy, when animals come into contact with poison ivy one time they won’t do it again, because poison ivy produces toxins to defend itself against foreign invaders. Similar with gluten - when it makes contact with the small intestine it becomes damaged immediately. And it’s easy to tell when people have a gluten intolerance, because the signs and symptoms of a gluten intolerance show themselves in the skin, breathing, digestive issues, and allergies. A good example is when you see people with noticeably red patches on their cheeks and they are not wearing make-up. In babies and toddlers, it’s more noticeable. Usually, any eczema, dry skin, dermatitis, asthma, bronchitis, allergies to dust and others; and colitis, Crohn’s Disease, and any other related skin, breathing, digestive or allergy issues, are all directly related to a gluten intolerance. The bad foods are what cause malnutrition, because they cause damage to the small intestine and therefore, minerals cannot be absorbed into the blood stream through the small intestinal villi.

Fried Food & Oils in a Bottle

Fried food and oil in a bottle are different chemically, but they cause high levels of inflammation, and are carcinogenic. Oil in a bottle causes harm, firstly, because the space between the bottle top and the surface of the oil is made up of air (oxygen) and when fat, any fat, is exposed to air it oxydises. When fats and oils become oxydized they become rancid and harmful to the human body, especially the digestive tract and therefore, the skin and DNA. When you heat oils, not burnt, but even just heated, they produce toxic chemicals called acrylamides which are pro-inflammatory and highly carcinogenic.

This is a short list!

Bottom line, do not take the word of these people at face value - follow the evidence, and sometimes . . . the money!
