Eat Fat – Avoid Vegetables and Fruits
Most articles on health assume we are all the same. This isn’t true. We are as different on the inside as the outside. Yet we are told universally to eat lots of fruits and vegetables and avoid the dreaded fat.
Fat gets the blame for everything these days. Cancer. Heart Disease. Obesity. Rising fuel prices. Whatever. We should cut the fat and switch to carbohydrates like whole grains, fruits and vegetables.
Fat Is Good
Let me inform you of a doctor approved diet for certain types of children. 90% of the calorie intake of the diet is made up of fat. Yet these kids are normal in weight and their cholesterol levels are only slightly higher than ideal. These children are afflicted with epilepsy. The diet helps to control their seizures.
A typical meal of chicken, carrots, double cream and butter might turn your stomach. But to these kids and their families, it’s just what the doctor ordered.
What, you’re not convinced? It’s a special case you’re thinking. It doesn’t apply to the general population. For the rest of us, fats are bad, vegetables and fruits are good.
No, it’s not as simple as that. The number one dietary deficiency, according to some nutritionists, is…..fat.
Saturated fat from dairy foods and meat are not to be avoided like the plague. They may not be the healthiest fats to eat, but humans have evolved to eat it. The problem fats are the ones that come from eating the products of the fast food industry. This leads us to eat far too much trans fats and omega 6 fats and far too little of the omega 3 fats derived from oily fish.
Vegetable Can Be Bad
Glasgow University professor Kenneth McColl has given a warning that vegetable consumption could be behind the UK’s fastest growing cancer. He and his 10-strong research team believe that the three fold increase in throat cancers over the last 20 years could be down to nitrate fertilisers.
Buying organic is not the answer. They are also loaded with nitrate.
I could mention all the naturally occurring toxins, carcinogens and mutagens found in fruits and vegetables. But I won’t. At least not for this article.
I could even point out how sensitive many people are to carbohydrates. They must limit their intake of fruits and vegetables because they play havoc with their blood sugar levels. But I’m not going to dwell on this either.
I could even refer to those people that have a toxic reaction to fruits and vegetables like onions, tomatoes, oranges and grapefruit.
And there are those that are allergic to aspirin. The chemical salicylate which is found in aspirin is also found in high amounts in fruits and vegetables.
Of course I’m not really telling you to eat fat and avoid fruits and vegetables. The point I am making is that you are an individual, with your own personal requirements. You are different from every other person on earth. So nobody can tell you what to eat. You must get to know your own body and understand what it is trying to tell you.
Don’t listen to nutrition ‘experts.’ Listen to your body.
