The Biggest Lie Ever Told; The War on Red Meat
I’ve spent the past two decades traveling thousands of miles around the world to visit and observe the last remaining native cultures still in existence.
A lot of my colleagues question my research methods.
That’s because most modern doctors only treat – and most researchers only study – sickness. They don’t consider health. They see a disease and prescribe a pill.
That’s not how I see it. I focus on what healthy people have in common… What protects them from getting sick in the first place.
And I feel I owe it to my patients – and you – to visit these cultures and pass on their knowledge before it’...

Big Cholesterol Lie Won ’ t Die
I’ve been warning my patients and readers like you about Big Pharma’s cholesterol scam for more than two decades.
But my message continues to get lost in the unrelenting Big Lie presented by so-called experts in the FDA, AHA, and USDA.
Now, a new study confirms — once again — that there is no link whatsoever between what’s known as “bad” cholesterol and death as a result of heart disease in individuals over 60 years of age.1
In fact, the study found that 92% of people with high cholesterol actually lived longer.
You see, there is no such thing as “good” or “bad” cholesterol. You need both to stay heal...

This Dangerous Diet Means More Broken Bones
Make no bones about it… Being a vegetarian won’t do your health any favors, no matter what you hear in the media and from so-called “nutrition experts.”
I’ve been warning my patients about this for years.
Despite all the hype about plant-based meals being better for you, eliminating animal protein is not a healthy option – especially as you age.
A recent study of more than 26,000 women between the ages of 35 and 69 found that vegetarians had a 33% higher risk of hip fracture compared with meat eaters.1
The study, published in BMC Medicine, looked at four groups that consisted of “occasional” meat eate...

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...

A research team identifies a metabolic footprint associated with the perception of satiety
(Universitat Rovira i Virgili) The study was carried out in 140 volunteers suffering from overweight and obesity, and has showed that higher concentrations of glycine and linoleic acid are associated with a greater sensation of satiety, while saccharose and some sphingomyelins are negatively associated (that is to say, with a lower perception of satiety). Although metabolomics has been widely used in nutritional research, this is the first time it has been used to study the perception of satiety (Source: EurekAlert! - Biology)

Free fatty acid binding pocket in the locked structure of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), represents a global crisis. Key to SARS-CoV-2 therapeutic development is unraveling the mechanisms that drive high infectivity, broad tissue tropism, and severe pathology. Our 2.85-angstrom cryo–electron microscopy structure of SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein reveals that the receptor binding domains tightly bind the essential free fatty acid linoleic acid (LA) in three composite binding pockets. A similar pocket also appears to be present in the highly pathogenic severe acute respiratory syndrome coronaviru...

Offspring of mice fed imbalanced diets shown to be neurologically 'programmed' for obesity
(Hiroshima University) Pregnant mice fed diets high in omega-6 fats and low in omega-3 fats are shown in a new study to produce offspring whose brains had a higher level of dopamine-producing neurons--the neurological reward system. These mice went on to chase hyper-caloric diets, suggesting that the fats in a pregnant mother's diet may control the eating habits of her children, and potentially offering a new obesity-prevention strategy.
