Nightshade Vegetables Aren ’ t Actually Bad for You
If you’ve ever gone down the rabbit hole of health and wellness trends online, you’ve likely stumbled upon the so-called shadowy side of nightshades—vegetables that include tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, and peppers. What’s made them suddenly newsworthy is that they’ve been singled out by self-proclaimed wellness experts and celebrity dieters as culprits behind a range of health issues, from arthritis to autoimmune disease flare-ups and indigestion.
While there’s little scientific evidence for these claims, some people report feeling better after cutting nightshades from their diets. ...

The keto diet protects against epileptic seizures. Scientists are uncovering why
The high-fat, low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet is more than just a trendy weight-loss tactic. It has also been known to help control seizures in children with epilepsy, particularly those who don ’t respond to first-line anti-seizure medications.In a new UCLA study published in the journalCell Reports, researchers demonstrate that the changes the diet causes in the human gut microbiome — the trillions of bacteria and other microorganisms that live in the digestive tract — can confer protection against seizures in mice.Understanding how the function of the microbiome is altered by the diet could aid in the development ...

The Establishment Failed Pel é And Kristie
I was saddened to hear that soccer legend Pelé and “Cheers” star Kirstie Alley both died of colon cancer late last year.
But the wider part of this tragedy is that this kind of cancer is highly preventable and still poorly understood by most doctors.
Mainstream physicians – as well as the media – will tell you your age causes colon cancer, the genes you inherited from your family, and a high-fat diet.
They couldn’t be more wrong.
Colorectal cancer has nothing to do with age and very little to do with your genes…
Instead, it has everything to do with epigenetics.
This is the important relationship between o...

Farmed and Dangerous
I was in my office getting ready to join my staff for a meeting when I overheard it…
“One of Norway’s top scientists calls farmed salmon the most toxic food in the world.”
I immediately asked to see the study.
As a regular reader, you know I always recommend wild-caught fish. But what I read in this report surprised even me.
As it turns out, farmed salmon is five times more toxic than every other food the researchers tested.1
You know that I’ve warned my patients against eating farm-raised animals for decades. Whether beef, fish, or eggs, these Big Agra mass-produced foods harm your health.
I’ve been exposi...

FDA Declares Hangover a Disease
If you’ve ever woken up with a pounding headache, nausea, and dizziness after having a cocktail (or two) too many the night before – you may feel like you’re dying!
Of course, you also know that the symptoms of a hangover will soon pass…and by the end of the day, you’ll feel like yourself again.
But according to the FDA, if you are hungover, you don’t just feel sick. You have a disease…
I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried.
Earlier this year, in their never-ending efforts to stop supplement makers from offering safe, natural, and tested solutions, the Federal government labeled the dreaded “m...
