The BIG

Lie

How These "Accepted" Myths Get Started 30 years ago a medical publication ran figures on iron content and made a typo of two digits off in the iron content listing for Spinach. They immediately sent out press releases etc in that they had a serious typo error in the spinach iron content listing. Never the less media picked it up from the book and ran it as news that spinach was a great source of iron when in fact spinach had almost no iron content at all. Other media picked it up from those articles and it went on for over 20 years.....that spinach was a great source of iron in your diet. In fact we have even seen some recent articles sourcing spinach as a good source of iron. Once one of these myths get started, the media blows it up and carries it on becoming a self perpetuating myth. The basic low fat lie, comes from a very carefully controlled accepted study by one individual that was not reported in its entirety and gave the impression that low fat (which the study person was promoting) (a book) was the success ingredient in lowering the fat condition of some severe obesity people. Unreported by the press was the study carefully pre-selected some highly motivated obese people, had counseling weeks before the test and study even started and sorted out people that would stay on for a year with these severe restrictions and actions the general public would never tolerate. The only reported part of the study was they were put on this low fat diet and after a year had some amazing results. Unreported was these people were on a two hours a day carefully orchestrated exercise program, went to group support sessions twice a week and many programs on their mental state on a regular basis. All of the extra help they received and time devoted would not have been tolerated for a year by the general public. In fact, critics of the study say that with all of the extensive therapy and exercise, likely the same result would have been obtained with a normal "fat" level diet. Yet this study was picked up and started the basis of the low fat fad which has no solid basis and is a big part of the obese epidemic, causing the very problem the media reports over and over as the solution. Very Likely....Check it yourself... all the fat people you know are "eating low fat products". All the skinny people you know are eating full fat products. The low fat products have additional sugar added to compensate for low fat, and also add high fructose corn syrup (both go directly to making body fat) plus artificial sweeteners, all of which do not shut down your appetite causing you to continue to eat.  <<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>   You Need Lots Of Fat In Your Diet In South America, years ago, they used no fat for prisoners they wanted to kill. Protein and other diet essentials supplied as usual. In six months, unwanted prisoners were dead. The Inuit Indians call it dying of rabbit disease. No fat in the diet. A recent study of essential elements absorbed from a vegetable salad prove interesting. Essentially, the result was with a no fat salad dressing none of the primary benefits of the salad showed up in your blood stream. With a low fat dressing, about half the expected veggie benefits showed in the blood stream and with a full fat dressing 100% showed up. The conclusion of the study was to obtain the benefits you needed to eat a full fat dressing with the salad. This type of information receives little publicity, since the low fat marketing has taken over. For you, ....Eating the correct balancing saturated fats with Omega 3 fats in proportion (they compete) to make fats not a problem and remember, avoid anything labeled "low" fat.

The medical industry by and large tell you, that as a diabetic, that if you get a calculator, a listing of every food and its conversion factor, and take many prescription drugs in exactly the right quantity at exactly the right time and under the right conditions you can continue to handle flour and sugar products in certain quantities in your diet.

Never mind that should you calculate the timing wrong or figure quantity wrong or there are extenuating circumstances that may put you into drug induced hypoglycemia, which by the way can put you in a coma and even kill you.

Life style gave you type 2 diabetes. drastic immediate change of life style can slow it or maybe even correct it.

You decide. Do you challenge it or take what comes? Can you wait and decide after something devastating happens? Too late....

There is a whole industry of medical people that rely solely on business for them generated by the fact the much of the public refuse to give up on the addictive flour and grain sugar laced products they have grown used to and that are killing them just as the smoker refuses to quit cigarettes that he well knows are killing him.

The medical people do not tell you that no matter how good you do this dietetic balancing act, your diabetes progresses. You do not and can not stop it, the prescription strengths have to be increased over time and you only delayed it at best for a while, not stopped the disease.

The government continues to put out a food pyramid that shows meat and fat should be eaten sparingly but that flour (grain) and sugar products should be the basis of the food pyramid and be eaten in quantity.

Think it is working? Obesity and diabetes doubled in the last ten years. For every calorie saved by reduced fat, the public apparently then ate two or three calories more of products of flour and sugar to appease their appetite,

That extra was then almost instantly turned into fat on our body. No wonder we became obese and developed diabetes. We bought into the BIG LIE eat "reduced or "low fat" food and you you wont gain weight and are home free".

Your body evolved over100,000 years and was equipped to and can handle reasonable amounts of fat. It was never designed or equipped to handle fast acting refined sugar and milled flour products in any quantities at all (it did not exist) let alone the large quantities you have been feeding it for years..

Sorry...Your doctor can not save you...this time.... only you can change your life style. This one depends on you developing self discipline and dealing with reality. Wake up...before it is too late...
