Keto Diet Last, DASH First In New Diet Rankings
By Sandee LaMotte, CNN
(CNN) — If you’re a fan of the “fat-burning” keto diet, you’ll be fired up about its ranking in the 2018 list of best diets from US News and World Report: It’s tied for last, along with the relatively unknown Dukan diet.
Both stress eating a ton of protein and minimal carbs, putting the dieter into “ketosis,” when the body breaks down both ingested and stored body fat into ketones, which it uses as energy. People on such diets often deal with fatigue and light-headedness as they adjust to a lack of carbohydrates.
Though the experts on the US News and Wo...

Discussion
Fats and fatty acids are essential for good human health.
Saturated fats have hydrogen pairs linked to each carbon on the carbon backbone. They are solid or semi-solid at room temperature. Common examples are butter, lard, or hardened vegetable shortening. They are linked to higher cholesterol and triglycerides and only a small amount of them are recommended to be consumed in the diet.
Unsaturated fats have one or more hydrogen atoms missing from the carbon backbone. They are liquid at room temperature.
Monounsaturated fatty acids have one hydrogen pair that is missing from the carbon backbone. They are liq...

What can gorillas teach us?
All the gorillas were dying…
Over 50 years of trying to breed gorillas in zoos and nothing was working. It didn’t matter where they tried — San Diego, Cincinnati, St. Louis — not even the best zoos in the country could get these gorillas to reproduce.
They were facing extinction.
And everyone simply accepted that it was impossible to breed gorillas in zoos.
That was until one caretaker took a closer look at what the gorillas were eating. For decades, zoos fed the gorillas what they called gorilla biscuits.
But, on top of being unable to reproduce, the gorillas were developing diseases like heart disease,1 diabetes,...

Cholesterol Vaccine?
I saw this headline not long ago and it made my jaw drop.
“Daily statin use to lower cholesterol may soon be a thing of the past.”
I thought maybe — finally — the war on cholesterol was coming to an end.
It wasn’t.
Instead, it turns out Big Pharma is doubling down on cholesterol drugs. They’ve found a new multi-billion dollar scam. Let me explain…
Statins have been blockbusters for the drug companies. Worldwide sales hit $34 billion in one year. But most of these drugs have come to the end of their patents. Profits are starting to dip. Big Pharma needs another patent to replace them.
So instead of statin ...

Anti Alzheimer ’ s diet
Despite what the mainstream media is telling you, sugar is not your enemy.
Your body evolved to eat sweet foods. In fact, it’s how our ancestors knew a food growing in the wild was safe to eat and healthy.
But your body did not evolve to eat starchy, high carbohydrate sugars from bread, pasta, cereal and other grains. Ever since we were told to eat low fat, this has been the bulk of the our diet.
The result has been a modern epidemic of obesity and diabetes. At the same time, we face skyrocketing rates of dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Big Pharma has bee...

Pfizer to FDA: Ban side effect warnings
Big Pharma won’t be satisfied until every American adult — and even some kids — are taking one of their dangerous statin drugs.
And they’ve resorted to desperate measures to achieve that goal.
Here’s what’s going on…
As you probably know, one of the most common side effects of taking statins is muscle pain. I see this all the time at my clinic when new patients come to see me. And if you or someone you know takes these drugs, you’ve probably seen it, too…
But a new study claims that people only get statin side effects like muscle pain if they know they’re taking the drugs. Researchers claim that if a pa...

Prediabetes drug increases risk of diabetes!
Raise your hand if your doctor has ordered a blood test to check your glucose. Most do, whether or not you have symptoms of diabetes.
If your fasting blood sugar is 125 mgm/dL or above you are considered a diabetic. But if your number comes in between 108 and 125 they’ll say you have “prediabetes.”
That’s a condition where your cells have a resistance to the hormone insulin. Your body uses insulin to put glucose into your cells where it can provide energy. But with insulin resistance, your cells are slow to take up glucose. It builds up in your blood.
Over a lifetime, 70-75% of people diagnose...

Fried foods? Use THIS oil.
You’ve probably heard some very confusing advice about which cooking oils are best for your health.
Almost every time you read an article or watch a health show on TV, someone is recommending some good-for-you grease that’s somehow better, less cancer-causing, more antioxidant-rich, less (or sometimes more) fatty than the last.
The problem begins with doctors and nutritionists — and Big Food — who like to classify cooking oils by categories of fat, claiming that one category is “good” and another is “bad.”
Don’t listen to them. We already know that mainstream medicine and moder...

3 nutrients for a sharp, ageless brain
For decades mainstream medicine told us that dying neurons are the problem with an aging brain. But the difference between an old brain and a sharp, young brain isn’t just neurons…
You see, mental function depends on two kinds of brain cells. Neurons are just half the story. In fact, when scientists studied Albert Einstein’s brain they found he had a wealth of “other” brain cells that accounted for his genius.
I’m talking about “glia,” or “glial” brain cells.
Scientists have known about glial cells for a long time. But they thought they were just support for the n...

Four simple steps to a lean body
If I told you to eat what you love and cut back on your workouts if you want to lose weight, you might tell me I’m crazy.
Diet and fitness “experts” certainly would.
But their terrible advice about fitness and nutrition has led to the current obesity epidemic. Nearly 40% of Americans are now obese and nearly 70% are overweight.
And the problem is only getting worse.
A new study in the prestigious JAMA medical journal reports that more people are giving up on trying to lose weight.1
Researchers asked 27,350 overweight and obese adults whether they had tried to lose weight in the past 12 months. Since 198...
