The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet


Nina Teicholz - 2014
    She documents how the low-fat nutrition advice of the past sixty years has amounted to a vast uncontrolled experiment on the entire population, with disastrous consequences for our health.For decades, we have been told that the best possible diet involves cutting back on fat, especially saturated fat, and that if we are not getting healthier or thinner it must be because we are not trying hard enough. But what if the low-fat diet is itself the problem? What if the very foods we’ve been denying ourselves—the creamy cheeses, the sizzling steaks—are themselves the key to reversing the epidemics of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease?In this captivating, vibrant, and convincing narrative, based on a nine-year-long investigation, Teicholz shows how the misinformation about saturated fats took hold in the scientific community and the public imagination, and how recent findings have overturned these beliefs. She explains why the Mediterranean Diet is not the healthiest, and how we might be replacing trans fats with something even worse. This startling history demonstrates how nutrition science has gotten it so wrong: how overzealous researchers, through a combination of ego, bias, and premature institutional consensus, have allowed dangerous misrepresentations to become dietary dogma.With eye-opening scientific rigor, The Big Fat Surprise upends the conventional wisdom about all fats with the groundbreaking claim that more, not less, dietary fat—including saturated fat—is what leads to better health and wellness. Science shows that we have been needlessly avoiding meat, cheese, whole milk, and eggs for decades and that we can now, guilt-free, welcome these delicious foods back into our lives.

Tripping Over the Truth: The Metabolic Theory of Cancer


Travis Christofferson - 2014
    Tripping over the Truth follows the story of cancers proposed metabolic origin from the vaunted halls of the German scientific golden age, to modern laboratories around the world. The reader is taken on a journey through time and science that results in an unlikely connecting of the dots with profound therapeutic implications.Transporting us on a rich narrative of humanities struggle to understand the cellular events that conspire to form malignancy, it reads like a detective novel, full of twists and cover-ups, blind-alleys and striking moments of discovery by men and women with uncommon vision, grit and fortitude. Ultimately we arrive at a conclusion that challenges everything we thought we knew about the disease, suggesting the reason for the failed war against cancer stems from a flawed paradigm that categorizes cancer as an exclusively genetic disease. For anyone affected by this terrifying disease, and the physicians who struggle to treat it, Tripping Over the Truth provides a fresh and hopeful perspective. It explores the new and exciting non-toxic therapies born from the emerging metabolic theory of cancer. Therapies that may one day prove to be a turning point in the struggle against our ancient enemy. We are shown how the metabolic theory redraws the battle-map, directing researchers to approach cancer treatment from a different angle, framing it more like a gentle rehabilitation rather than all-out combat. In a sharp departure from the current "targeted" revolution occurring in cancer pharmaceuticals, the metabolic therapies highlighted have one striking feature that sets them apart -the potential to treat all types of cancer because they exploit the one weakness that is common to every cancer cell: dysfunctional metabolism.

The Wahls Protocol : How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine


Terry Wahls - 2014
    Terry Wahls focused on treating her patients’ ailments with drugs or surgical procedures—until she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2000. Within three years, her back and stomach muscles had weakened to the point where she needed a tilt-recline wheelchair. Conventional medical treatments were failing her, and she feared that she would be bedridden for the rest of her life. Dr. Wahls began studying the latest research on autoimmune disease and brain biology, and decided to get her vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids from the food she ate rather than pills and supplements. Dr. Wahl’s adopted the nutrient-rich paleo diet, gradually refining and integrating it into a regimen of neuromuscular stimulation. First, she walked slowly, then steadily, and then she biked eighteen miles in a single day. In November 2011, Dr. Wahls shared her remarkable recovery in a TEDx talk that immediately went viral. Now, in The Wahls Protocol, she shares the details of the protocol that allowed her to reverse many of her symptoms, get back to her life, and embark on a new mission: to share the Wahls Protocol with others suffering from the ravages of multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune conditions.

The Disease Delusion: Conquering the Causes of Chronic Illness for a Healthier, Longer, and Happier Life


Jeffrey S. Bland - 2014
    Jeffrey Bland has been on the cutting edge of Functional Medicine, which seeks to pinpoint and prevent the cause of illness, rather than treat its symptoms. Managing chronic diseases accounts for three quarters of our total healthcare costs, because we're masking these illnesses with pills and temporary treatments, rather than addressing their underlying causes, he argues. Worse, only treating symptoms leads us down the path of further illness.In The Disease Delusion, Dr. Bland explains what Functional Medicine is and what it can do for you. While advances in modern science have nearly doubled our lifespans in only four generations, our quality of life has not reached its full potential. Outlining the reasons why we suffer chronic diseases from asthma and diabetes to obesity, arthritis and cancer to a host of other ailments, Dr. Bland offers achievable, science-based solutions that can alleviate these common conditions and offers a roadmap for a lifetime of wellness.

Eat the Yolks: Discover Paleo, Fight Food Lies, and Reclaim Your Health


Liz Wolfe - 2014
    Avoid red meat. Worry about cholesterol. We live in an era of health hype and nutrition propaganda, and we're suffering for it. Thirty years of avoiding eggs, choosing margarine over butter, and seeking out "low-fat" versions of processed foods have left us with an obesity epidemic, ever-rising rates of chronic disease, and above all, total confusion about what to eat and why. This is a tragedy of bad information, food industry shenanigans, and cheap calories disguised as health food. It turns out that everything we've been told about how to eat is wrong. In Eat the Yolks, Liz Wolfe dismantles today's myths about fat, protein, carbs, calories and nutrients to finds the truths—truths like: Fat and cholesterol aren't bad for us. We need animal protein. Whole grains aren't healthy. Counting calories is a waste of energy. Nutrition doesn't come in a box, bag or capsule. With wit and grace, Wolfe makes a compelling argument for following a Paleo lifestyle. She takes us back to the foods of our ancestors, combining the lessons of history with those of modern science to uncover why whole, real food—the kind humans have been eating for thousands of years—holds the key to good health.

Simply eating a low-carb diet alone isn’t enough, and Moore and Westman tell you why.Have you looked at a low-carb diet simply as a means to lose weight?

Heal Breast Cancer Naturally: 7 Essential Steps to Beating Breast Cancer


Véronique Desaulniers - 2014
    One out of 3 women will experience some form of cancer in their life time. I was one of those statistics even though I was living a healthy lifestyle that consisted of organic foods, regular exercise, massage, Chiropractic care and colonics. How could somebody like me develop Breast Cancer? That very question led to thousands of hours of research, study, soul-searching and prayer. It all came together as The 7 Essentials – 7 basic steps that are necessary for preventing and healing cancer, or any dis-ease for that matter. Chapter 1 – Why Do I Have Breast Cancer? Scientists have come to the conclusion that cancer is a preventable dis-ease that requires major lifestyle changes. Discover how to avoid the 7 Cancer Triggers that could possibly create cancer in your body. Chapter 2 – Essential # 1 – Let Food Be Your Medicine Stop feeding the cancer by avoiding the foods that “feed” the cancer. Increasing your consumption of specific vegetables, oils and low glycemic fruits can reduce your Breast Cancer risk by 60-70%. Find out which foods lead to inflammation and dis-ease while others turn on protective, anti-cancer genes. Experiment with a sample 7 day anti-cancer meal plan. Chapter 3 – Essential # 2 – Reduce Your Toxic Exposure Is it possible to escape the effects of the thousands of chemicals that you may be exposed to every day? There are clearly environmental links to Breast Cancer but there are specific steps that you can take to reduce your toxic exposure. Learn how to make conscious choices about the products you keep in your home, the cosmetics you apply and the internal toxins that are affecting your body. Chapter 4 – Essential # 3 – Balance Your Energy Our body is 1 billionth physical matter and the rest is all energy. Our body runs on an energetic and electrical system that can be measured with instrumentation. There are specific healing arts and therapeutic tools that can help bring the body to balance, ultimately strengthening and boosting the Immune System. Proper hormone balance and revitalizing sleep can activate cancer-protective genes and boost the Immune System. Chapter 5 – Essential # 4 – Heal Your Emotional Wounds In order to truly heal your body, you must heal your emotional wounds. Do you have the “Cancer Personality”? If so, your responses to stress and how you cope with it are often learned behaviors. You can change those learned behaviors and the bio-chemistry of your body with your attitude and your thought patterns. Strengthen your “happiness muscle” with 8 specific steps. Chapter 6 – Essential # 5 – Embrace Biological Dentistry Metals in your teeth have the potential to increase estrogen signaling in the breast tissue. These metallo-estrogens have been found in Breast Cancer tissue biopsies. Toxicities from root canals have been associated with most cancers. Learn how to take steps to detox these poisonous materials that may be compromising your Immune System and Meridian System. Chapter 7 – Essential # 6 – Repair Your Body with Therapeutic Plants The United States National Library of Medicine has a data base of hundreds of thousands of citations and abstracts of bio-medical literature and journals giving evidence of the benefits of Natural Medicine.

The World Turned Upside Down: The Second Low-Carbohydrate Revolution


Richard David Feinman - 2014
    Almost every day a new study shows that you are at risk for diabetes or cardiovascular disease or all cause mortality brought on by a newly appreciated toxin which turns out to be something that you just had for lunch (excerpt from Chapter 16). Most of us no longer know what to eat or who to believe. The World Turned Upside Down offers the perspective of a distinguished biochemist with a gift for making accessible the intricacies of biochemical pathways. At the same-time, the book is unsparing in criticism of the nutritional establishment, an establishment which it seems must inevitably be overthrown. Scientifically accurate and entertaining, this book paints a broad picture of the nutrition world: the beauty of the underlying biochemistry and the embarrassing failure of the medical establishment, the practical value in low-carbohydrate diets and what s wrong with the constant reports that normal foods represent a threat rather than a source of pleasure. Richard David Feinman, Professor of Cell Biology at SUNY Downstate Medical Center, is one of the leaders in research in nutrition and metabolism and their role in the education of medical students. The book tells the story of the first low-carbohydrate revolution, twelve years ago, how it started, what killed it and why another one is happening. It explains how type 2 diabetes can be virtually cured for many people by a reduction in dietary carbohydrate and why you need to know about it even if you don t have diabetes. The World Turned Upside Down takes on the fear-mongers: Chapter 8 Sugar, fructose and fructophobia explains that that sugar is not a poison but it is a carbohydrate and Chapter 9 gives you a perspective on Saturated fat. On your plate or in your blood? Finally, The World Turned Upside Down gives you information and the tools to decipher the nutritional medical literature on your own. Irreverent and witty, this book boils down all the facts from different angles to a simple message on what to eat and why.

Navigating Metabolism


Navdeep Chandel - 2014
    But what do they tell us about disease, physiology, cell signaling, aging, immunity, and gene expression? In a refreshing approach to the subject of metabolism, Navigating Metabolism provides a conceptual framework for navigating these pathways, showing how cells generate energy and synthesize cellular constituents and then further relating metabolic reactions to molecular, genetic, and signaling underpinnings. These principles are supported by copious illustrations that clearly represent metabolic reactions, making them accessible and relating them to the ways in which cells respond to stimuli to produce specific biological outcomes. The last few decades have brought metabolism to the fore, with new results suggesting that it plays a regulatory role in signaling pathways and gene expression. Viewing metabolism in this new light provides hope that it may be an avenue for providing effective prevention and targeted treatment for many of the diseases that plague us--cardiovascular, inflammatory disease, diabetes, and cancer. Authored by Navdeep Chandel, a leading investigator in the field, Navigating Metabolism is the perfect introduction to this modern view of metabolic studies.

How the body uses food to make what we need to keep going is an incredible, almost magical, process.

Rethink Food: 100+ Doctors Can't Be Wrong


Shushana Castle - 2014
    We have been led to believe that meat and dairy are the foundation of good health. This is a myth and the science can no longer be ignored. From the Ivy Leagues of Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and Cornell to the UK, India, Germany, Italy, Brazil, Mexico, and New Zealand, Rethink Food's experts explain how we can reverse heart disease and diabetes, eliminate food allergens and autoimmune diseases, live pain- free from arthritis, prevent Alzheimer's, even bring cancer into remission and much more by completely removing all animal products from our plates. In the history of disease we have never before faced such rampant levels of illnesses. We are turning to prescriptions for answers, but they do not address the root cause of diseases. The truth is our health is not completely dictated by our genes. Our meat and dairy diets are the primary cause of our alarming rise in chronic health problems and disease. Rethink Food's doctors conclusively prove that we have the power to reverse and prevent today's leading health problems simply by choosing a whole food plant-based diet! Plus as Rethink Food's top professional athletes show, achieving peak performance and winning gold depends on being powered by plants. We were inspired to write Rethink Food after watching family and friends struggle with today's most common diseases for years and then completely rid themselves of the debilitating symptoms and re-gain their health and vitality within months by fully adopting a whole foods plant-based diet. As these doctors attest, there is a powerful connection between disease and wellness that is strongly associated with our dietary choices. Changing what we eat has the power to change our lives. It all begins with the courage to rethink food. Join us!

This book shows you how to detox without unpleasant side-effects. You will feel good from Day One. By Day Ten you will have established a new health habit that you'll be able to incorporate into your busy lifestyle.A NEW METHOD OF SKIN BRUSHINGThis book contains a new method of brushing. If you have done skin brushing before you may have been told to brush towards the heart. You'll find out why that isn't always the case and the exact way to brush every inch of your body. This new method has been tried, tested, and refined by the author, experienced aromatherapist and health coach Mia Campbell.THE BENEFITS OF SKIN BRUSHINGProbably the most famous reason for trying skin brushing is to eliminate cellulite. That it can do and so much more, including:* Improvement in the skin's appearance & texture* Better muscle tone* Improved lymphatic flow (which improves the health overall)* More energy* Improved immunity* Less fatty deposits* Improved skin conditions* Better digestion and elimination* Improved hormones* More energy* A feeling of well-being and an inner & outer glow of vibrant energy* An overall detoxAn incredible list of benefits - and that isn't all of them. Try it for yourself. All you need is a brush (between $10 and $15) and this book.WHY DO YOU NEED THIS BOOK?Here is the author's own experience:"I was suffering from a few health problems, including chronic fatigue syndrome and took up skin brushing as part of a regime to improve my health. I gave up caffeine at the same time. The result was a headache so bad that I wanted to die! I gave up the skin brushing and the health drive and sloped back to bed. I hadn't realized that taking up new health habits should be done gradually, one at a time, or you can be overwhelmed by the effects of the detox. After I trained in aromatherapy and massage I understood the body more and the effects of detoxing. I also learned about manual lymphatic drainage and wondered why most articles that explain how to do skin brushing differed so much from the way that manual lymphatic drainage therapists work. Over a period of time - and experimentation on my [willing!] clients - I devised my own method of skin brushing. It stimulates the lymphatic system without overloading it so it makes you feel wonderful while detoxing, which is pretty rare."Skin brushing can do wonders for your health and vitality and this book will show you the best way of doing it, whatever your schedule. It contains full instructions on how to brush for the best, quickest results; suggested routines for mornings and evenings and a super quick routine for when you don't have much time to spare.If you have done skin brushing before, you can use this book to learn the new method and pick up some other health tips.If you are entirely new to skin brushing you're in for a treat! You will find the best way to do it to minimize any risk of suffering a cleansing reaction.

Reset: Make the Most of Your Stress: Your 24-7 Plan for Well-Being


Kristen Lee - 2014
    - Ben Franklin"No bananas for me!" cried the Frenchman, not to be distracted from his main course. "Bring on the bolts!" It was 1978 when Michel Lotito's appetite for indigestible objects got the best of him. It wasn't enough that he had already purposely devoured bicycles, shopping carts, and razor blades. For two years, Monsieur Mangetout-or, "Mr. Eats-All"-devoted himself to eating a Cessna-150 aircraft. Two pounds daily brought him to his goal, adding to his nine-ton lifetime tally of metal (and perhaps mental) mayhem. What made this possible? Mr. Eats-All apparently had unique attributes contributing toward his record-breaking binges. His super-Charmin-cushioned stomach and eccentricities helped him defy convention. But, there's more to it. Mr. Eats-All understood the importance of slow digestion. Bit by bit, he was somehow able to tolerate the distress he willfully invited. Even with his stomach of steel, slugging down the pieces would have been dicey if he had gone over his two-pound limit. He could process the foreign objects only in manageable chunks. He knew when to say "when." This is not something I recommend doing at home, but there are lessons within this story of culinary chaos. Despite Mr. Eats-All's ingestion of toxic materials, his tank remained resilient, and he found his maximum threshold for how much he could process. Adult life leaves us having to digest overwhelming amounts of information. Stress doesn't come in neatly packaged rations; we're forced to process change, loss, and harsh realities in heaping portions. Like our stomachs, our brains have limits to what they can effectively tolerate. Massive stress can leave our minds churning and on a hunt to find some sort of solace. So, what's the remedy? Most of us have to digest things we'd rather not. Things that puncture us and keep us awake at night. Things we prefer not to mention to others. Things that seem to be beyond what we can handle. In the middle of all of this, it's easy to be so consumed by our worries that we forget something essential to our emotional survival: we need time and tools to better take care of ourselves-before, during, and after the storms hit. As we'll see, being able to maintain well-being in the face of stress requires deliberate action. It's not about rapid digestion, a specific formula, or having "perfect" reactions to what comes your way. It's not about how your friends or family cope, or how they say that you should-but what makes sense to you personally. RESET is a tool I've developed over many years as a therapist and teacher to help you understand your stress threshold and find ways to cope even when life seems completely out of control. It helps you build your own, unique definition of "self-care" and put it into action. When you're feeling beyond your limits, RESET's five components will help you get your bearings and recalibrate:Realize. Energize. Soothe. End unproductive thinking. Talk it out.Whether you know it or not, you're already responding to stress-either constructively or destructively. By creating a plan that is unique to your own set of circumstances, you'll be better equipped to respond to the challenges before you.How can you possibly begin to digest what life brings?It's time to find out.

The Symbiont Factor: How the Gut Bacteria Microbiome Redefines Health, Disease and Humanity


Richard Matthews - 2014
    Learn how different aspects of modern life make it challenging to maintain a healthy population of gut bacteria and what this means for your health! Many different conditions are reviewed to explain the role of symbionts, from autism to cancer, heart disease and arthritis, and anxiety to schizophrenia. The bibliography includes over 1300 peer-reviewed research studies from the National Library of Medicine and National Institutes of Health, provided for those who wish to read some of the research referenced in the text. If you ever wondered if probiotics are beneficial, or why we should eat fruits and vegetables, these answers are inside! This new information is creating a whole new paradigm that is changing our perception of life itself. While scientists and physicians have always considered the human body and mind to be self-guided and singular, they are now beginning to view a human being as a superorganism or holobiont, consisting of a host organism combined with its symbiont population. The human body plays host to a population of trillions of microscopic organisms. Our bodies have evolved a symbiotic relationship with these ancient organisms, which is beneficial to both species. This colony of microbes is called the human microbiome, and it has been the focus of intense research efforts over the last decade. The microbiome influences human health or disease as well as emotion, personality and aging. Researchers studying the microbiome have discovered that these symbiotic organisms outnumber our human cells by at least 10:1, and their genes outnumber human genes by at least 150:1. "This excellent and long needed book presents in a clear and sound manner the recent dramatic findings about our gut bacteria. These thousands of trillions microorganisms living inside us play a crucial role in regulating our well-being throughout life. The new message is of great importance to the entire medical community, life sciences researchers, as well as the general public. Realizing the role of gut bacteria can help each of us to better understand the effect of nutrients, as mediated by the gut bacteria, on our body in health, in disease and in special times, such as pregnancy, nursing or periods of high stress. For example, we now understand that the massive use of antibiotics in children, adults and agriculture has endangered our vital microbiome and is liable to cause diseases such as Type 2 diabetes on a global scale. The gut microbiome is emerging as a vital part of humanity, without which health and happiness are severely compromised. The time has come for this knowledge to be widely understood!"

The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholz - A 30-minute Instaread Summary: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet


Instaread Summaries - 2014
    We read every chapter, summarize and analyze it for your convenience. This is an Instaread Summary of 'The Big Fat Surprise' by Nina Teicholz. Below is a preview of the earlier sections of the summary: Introduction The author had the luxury of approaching the nutritional science field as an open-minded individual with no affiliation or funding from any institutions or persons with deeply entrenched views. The result is some alarming information about the ways that nutrition has been misinterpreted for decades. The supposed health hazards of saturated fats found in butter, eggs, and meat have not been substantiated by reliable science. Science supports the fact that the body is healthiest on a diet rich in fat. Chapter 1 Vilhjalmur Stefansson was an anthropologist who lived with the Canadian Arctic Inuit in 1906, eating almost nothing but meat for an entire year. He later wrote the controversial book, Not by Bread Alone, in which he explained that the Eskimos seemed to be the healthiest people he had ever encountered despite their sedentary lifestyles and diets almost void of vegetables and carbohydrates. In 1928, he and a co-worker began a drastic experiment together. They vowed to consume only meat and water for a year. At the end of the year, both men were said to be in perfect health. In the early 1960’s, doctor and professor of biochemistry, George Mann, took a team from Vanderbilt University to Kenya to study the Masai people who ate and drank nothing but meat, blood, and milk. Fat from animal sources was the source of 60 percent of their calories. The blood pressure and weight of these warriors was 50 percent lower than men of the same age in the United States. If American beliefs about animal fat were true, Mann should have seen an epidemic of heart disease among the Masai. However, he found little evidence of heart disease among them. For decades, the American Heart Association (AHA), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and other expert groups have recommended obtaining daily calories from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. The public has been advised to minimize animal fats and eliminate red meat from their diets despite Mann’s findings and similar evidence from other studies. In the early 1900’s, Sir Robert McCarrison was the director of nutrition research for the British government in the Indian Medical Service. He wrote in detail about the fact that the Sikhs and the Hunzas of northern India did not suffer from cancer, appendicitis, or ulcers like the Western nations did. He also noted that their great health stood in stark contrast to other groups in the southern part of India who lived on mainly white rice and little dairy or meat. Anthropologist Ales Hrdlicka studied the Native Americans of the Southwest between 1898 and 1905. He observed that they ate mainly buffalo, were extremely healthy, and lived very long lives without suffering from malignant diseases. A detail of these early studies often buried, or overlooked, is that humans today eat the muscle of the animal, but this was not always the case. Early humans preferred the fat of the animal over its muscle meat. These viscera are higher in saturated fat. It is hard to even imagine eating this way when contemporary standards advise the public to do the opposite.

10 WAYS TO GROW TINY SUPERHUMANS: How To Enable The Kids In Your Life To Look, Feel And Perform Like Optimized Human Machines

Natural Prophets: From Health Foods to Whole Foods - How the Pioneers of the Industry Changed the Way We Eat and Reshaped American Business


Joe Dobrow - 2014
    With nearly unfettered double-digit annual growth, the development of this nearly $100 billion industry is one of the most remarkable untold stories in American business history. Trailblazers like Mo Siegel of Celestial Seasonings, Gary Hirshberg of Stonyfield Farms, and John Mackey of Whole Foods openly challenged the interests of Big American Agribusiness, transformed food manufacturing and retailing, and re-wrote the playbook for small entrepreneurs.Dobrow, a 20-year veteran of the natural foods industry who had a front row seat (and backstage pass) to much of the upheaval and expansion he describes, characterizes the radical vision of these "natural prophets" as one part anti-industrial activism, one part bold opportunism, and one part new-era marketing genius. The triple bottom line—people, planet, profit—emerged as a major new lodestone for successful, values-based business practices.NATURAL PROPHETS is a fascinating narrative account of these upstart Davids—their failures and their unprecedented successes—that distills lessons about management, marketing, and entrepreneurial growth, and offers a lively, urgent profile of an industry that continues to change the way we eat, the way we live, and the way we think about ourselves.
