Overeating is Bad for Mitochondria: Calories Count, PUFA Calories Count More
We often overlook the fact that simply overeating puts a stress on the system (and PUFA-rich seed oils are the worst). I think we should include a fourth macronutrient: time between meals. The longer you can go without a meal or a snack or a beverage other than water, the healthier your mitochondria will be.

Are eggs healthy or not?
There’s never been any credible evidence to support the idea that eating eggs is generally unhealthy. In fact, some evidence supports the opposite; that egg-eaters have lower cholesterol than non egg-eaters. I myself was surprised that it had been studied at all, because the results were not widely reported.
Study: PUFA-Rich Soy Oil Promotes Obesity and Fatty Liver
American’s are now consuming 1000x more soy oil than we did 100 years ago. Soy oil promotes oxidative stress, which makes it more fattening than it’s caloric content would suggest.

Statin side effects: Almost universal and often missed.
One of the most distressing things about practicing medicine these days is the blind faith that most people, doctors and patients, have in cholesterol pills like Lipitor, Crestor, Vytorin, and Zocor, just to name a few of the most popular statin drugs available today. This faith comes not from gullibility, but from carefully crafted drug…
GMO Corn and Soy: Foundation for a “Heart Healthy” Diet!
Perhaps because many still believe corn and soy are the foundation of a heart healthy diet (and GMO dependence is a logical extension of monoculture dependence), CA Prop 37 did not pass. Better perhaps to simply avoid soy- and corn-based products.
Statin Side Effects Slowing You Down? Why your doctor may not be able to help.
When insurance companies pay doctors based on their prescribing patterns, you may not be told about potential medication side effects. This is particularly true when it comes to side effects of cholesterol medications called statins.
Heart Attack Proof Diet: A Recipe for Heart Disease?

As you know, reversing disease is…
Anthony Bourdain Calls Fellow Celeb Chef “Dangerous”
In his interview with TV Guide, Bourdain said, “the worst, most dangerous person to America is clearly Paula Deen. She revels in unholy connections with evil corporations and she’s proud of the fact that her food is f—ing bad for you.”
As expected, most of the media response has focused on Paula Deen’s love of butter (as well as sugar and deep-fried foods). But they’re missing Bourdain’s larger point.
