How Scientists and Dishonest Media Bury The Evidence of Seed Oil Harms

New study examines how different fats affect fat cells. Reporters and scientists hide the data on seed oil harms. I’m often asked, “If seed oils are so harmful, why aren’t there more studies?” The truth is, there are more studies. The problem isn’t a lack of evidence. It’s how that evidence gets distorted. Study authors, universities, and media outlets seem to work together to downplay the risks, putting a spin on the results that makes seed oils look harmless, or even healthy. This article is a perfect example of how that happens. A new study is making headlines for suggesting…

Omega-6 Linoleic Acid Is Not What Makes Seed Oils Bad

Introduction: Clearing Up Confusion About Omega-6 Linoleic Acid in Seed Oils Seed oil causes inflammation, but not for the reasons most people talk about. This matters because we need to identify the real health enemy. If we don’t get that right, everything else falls apart. You might have heard that seed oils, like soybean or corn oil, are inflammatory because of a fat called omega-6. You may also have heard that seed oils’ omega-6 causes health problems like diabetes or heart trouble. That’s a myth we need to bust! Omega-6 isn’t the real villain. The real problem is Oxidation The…

If dairy is so healthy, then why do so many people have trouble digesting it?

Milk and cheese are two of the healthiest fast foods I know. But many people are lactose intolerant, have milk allergies, or other reasons that dairy gives them trouble.  A sad thing, because dairy is the ultimate healthy fast food. I recently composed a post (complete with video) explaining why we develop allergies to processed food proteins. If you are allergic to the protein in cow’s milk, you probably developed the allergy-inducing antibody due to ongoing intestinal inflammation from eating a pro-inflammatory diet. This is not to say that cow’s milk protein is uniquely bad, just that it is often included in…

Zucchini No-Pasta low-carb Lasagne

For gardeners — and gardener’s neighbors — coping with the mid summer zucchini run, you may think you’ve got too much zucchini until you’ve tried this delicious no-noodle, low-carb optionally vegetarian lasagne. (Just skip the pepperoni if you’d prefer the vegetarian version.) We ate this low-carb lasagne as a side with baked chicken, actually we ate this first because it was done first. But honestly, I would almost rather have skipped the chicken and polished off the entire tray of lasagne. MMMmmm, cheeseyness… Ingredients: Tomato: 12 oz cans x2, chopped/diced unseasoned or 2 large garden fresh Zucchini: 1 giant (2.5…

Low Carb Diets Reduce Blood Pressure

A new study suggests Dr. Atkins was right: A high carb diet is not a healthy diet, and cutting carbs trims more than just your waistline. While both low-carb and low-fat diets can help you loose weight, Duke University’s well-designed study makes it pretty clear that if you want to reduce your weight and your pressure, a low-carb diet is a better choice. From Today’s Medscape Family Medicine: “January 25, 2010 (Durham, North Carolina) — A new randomized trial comparing a low-carbohydrate diet with a low-fat diet in combination with the weight-loss drug orlistat has found that both strategies produced meaningful weight…
