Is sugar making you AGE faster?
Americans consume the equivalent of 300 loaves of bread each year (representing enormous exposure to the amylopectin A carbohydrate that behaves like sugar or worse). They also consume 200 pounds of sugar. It is not uncommon for sugar alone to comprise a quarter of all calories taken in over the course of the day—some of it out in the open, some of it hidden.
To understand the adverse effects of sugars—sucrose, high-fructose corn syrup, and other fructose-rich sweeteners, such as agave, honey, and maple syrup—we need to understand two phenomena:
1. Insulin resistance
2 Glycation.
Insulin Resistance

It is all just one BIG FAT LIE
Undoctored and Wheat Belly Wisdom.
This is a story about how the grain and processed food lobby has successfully manipulated our governmental agencies into feeding us so many lies about consuming fat.
Let me begin this story with some with some basic facts.
FACT: Fats, unlike carbohydrates, are essential, and are as necessary as water or oxygen.
FACT: We are, at the core, carnivorous creatures, a product of our unique evolutionary past, thus consuming the fat of animals is also part of our natural physiology.
FACT: Consuming fat, particularly the saturated fat of butter, animal flesh and organs, does not makes us fa...

Sign the petition to change the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans
The Nutritional Coalition, a non-partisan advocacy group, has posted a petition to change the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Although none of us on the Wheat Belly lifestyle follow anything that the Guidelines advocate, they still heavily influence such things as the U.S. School Lunch Policy and how nutrition is taught in schools.
The Guidelines have been an unmitigated disaster. While there are other factors contributing to the epidemics of obesity, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and other health conditions, such as the predatory practices of Big Food that push chips, candy, and sodas (with the blessing of ...

Eating better: 3 keys to healthy grocery shopping
With the New Year a few months behind us now, hectic schedules and daily distractions have gotten in the way of our most well intended resolutions. If you are still looking to work on being healthier this year, eating healthier is a good option that may be easier than it seems.
As Hippocrates (the “father” of modern medicine) once said, “Let food be thy medicine, and thy medicine thy food.” We are realizing more and more how much our daily behaviors and our food choices impact our health and well-being. There are many factors that can get in the way of our efforts to lead a healthy lifestyle including busy schedule...

Super-Duper High-Fat Wheat Belly Yogurt
We celebrate fat on the Wheat Belly lifestyle.
With yogurt, it means we never eat the thin, insipid non-fat or low-fat stuff. We laugh at the anemic 2% yogurt that you can practically drink rather than eat–and they’re filled with sugar or high-fructose corn syrup, anyway.
You could go for the full-fat (3-6%, though typically 4% milk fat). Or you could go for the Super-Duper High-Fat Wheat Belly Yogurt made with heavy cream that is about 33-36% fat–really fatty. Almost like melted cream cheese, thick and rich.
Fat, including that in dairy, has been demonized. Ironically, it is clear that the fat is the bes...

The data are in: Eat right, reduce your risk of diabetes
Follow me on Twitter @RobShmerling
Here’s a new medical study with a conclusion that might just change your life: eat healthy.
Sure, you’ve heard it before, but this time the benefit is the prevention of diabetes. That’s a big deal, especially if, like so many other people, you are at risk for the disease. More on that in a moment.
First, let’s review the study. Researchers publishing in PLoS Medicine describe a study of more than 200,000 people in the U.S. who participated in health surveys over a 20-year period. They found that:
People who chose diets that were predominately of plant-based foods developed type 2...

Evidence for Some of the Burden of Fat Tissue to Result from Increased Levels of Cellular Senescence
In this study and in agreement with other studies, we show that obesity induced by a high fat (HF) diet results in a significant increase in senescent cells in WAT compared to low fat (LF) controls. Circulating activin A levels were also increased in the HF group compared to the LF controls. Importantly, our data indicate that 28 days of weight loss are sufficient to significantly reduce the number of senescent cells as shown by significantly reduced activin A levels and a significant reduction in senescent beta-galactosidase stained cells in inguinal and retroperitoneal WAT depots. Of note, since inguinal and retroperiton...

How much artificial trans fat is still in our food?
I felt guilty. I looked like any other health-conscious customer in the grocery store, perusing Nutrition Facts labels. But I was really there to hunt down a dangerous ingredient on store shelves called artificial trans fat. It’s the worst type of fat in our food supply — so bad, in fact, that the FDA is essentially banning it in processed food starting in 2018.
But that’s a long way off. How much artificial trans fat is on store shelves today?
The fuss about the fat
Artificial trans fats come from partially hydrogenated oils, which are made by a process using hydrogen gas to turn liquid vegetable oils into solids. T...

There ’s no sugar-coating it: All calories are not created equal
Counting calories doesn’t work. Burning more calories each day than you consume may have been the diet advice from the past, but that has since been debunked. So you no longer have to work out until you’ve “burned off” that apple cider donut you had with lunch. You just have to make sure you’re eating whole foods and avoiding processed carbohydrates — like crackers, cookies, or white bread.
A recent review in JAMA Internal Medicine further casts a light on the shaky history of nutritional science. Before the 1980s, regulations did not require researchers and physicians to declare conflicts of interest before pu...

Science for Sale
As my 2 1/2 long time readers have probably noticed, nothing frosts my pumpkin more than corrupt science.Well the gourd has a thick layer of ice right now. Stanton Glantz - a major figure in exposing corruption of science by the tobacco industry, has turned his guns on the sugar industry. They too were paying scientists to say that sugar is good for you.You may recall that we had a consensus for a couple of decades that the way to avoid heart disease was a low fat diet. It ' s taken a couple of decades more to eradicate that falsehood and it ' s still clinging to life. Food manufacturers touted their " low fat " products a...

Just like Atkins ’ . . . only better
This question comes up with some regularity: Is the Wheat Belly lifestyle like the Atkins’ diet? Is Wheat Belly just another name for a low-carb diet?
There are indeed some important areas of overlap. The Wheat Belly lifestyle, for instance, adheres to the concept that carbohydrates, not fats, are responsible for destructive health effects and weight gain. We also need to give Dr. Robert Atkins and his low-carb predecessors great credit for voicing their opinions during an age when low-carb was an heretical, against-the-mainstream concept, given the antics of Dr. Ancel Keys, Dr. Henry Blackburn, the US Department of ...
