How The Typical American Diet Is Killing Us...Slowly. And What To Do About It.

San Francisco Chiropractor Comments:

I just got through reading Dr. John McDougall's January 2010 newsletter. Dr. McDougall is in my opinion the worlds foremost authority on plant based (starch centered) nutrition. Dr. McDougall has authored many excellent  books on the subject and is clinic director of Dr. McDougall's Health and Medical Center in Santa Rosa, CA.  

The feature story of this months newsletter is entitled:

Five Major Poisons Inherently Found in Animal Foods. Here is an excerpt from the article:

Protein, fat, cholesterol, methionine (a sulfur-containing amino acid), and dietary acids, which are all superabundant in animal foods, are poisoning nearly everyone following the standard Western diet. Most people cannot fathom this, because it takes four or more decades of consumption before disability, disfigurement, and death become common from these endogenous toxins. This long latent period fools the public into thinking there is no harm done by choosing an animal-food-based diet. If the case were one of instantaneous feedback—one plate of fried eggs caused excruciating chest pains, paralysis from a stroke followed a prime rib dinner, or a hard cancerous lump appeared within a week of a grilled cheese sandwich—then eating animal foods would be widely recognized as an exceedingly unwise choice. Similar failures to appreciate slow poisonings from our lifestyle choices are seen with tobacco and alcohol use. If one package of cigarettes were followed by a week on a respirator or a bottle or two of gin caused hepatic (liver) coma then no one would indulge in these instruments of long-drawn-out death either. The difference defining the failure to take long overdue actions is that the dangers from tobacco and alcohol use are universally known and accepted, whereas almost everyone considers red meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products necessary parts of a healthy diet.

Anyway, this article is a must read if you want to understand why 70% of Americans are overweight or obese...and how our diets are causing the killer diseases we see our friends and family members die from each year.  It just happens in slow motion. So why not fast forward your thinking and learn about what you can do NOW so that you and your family can live long and healthy lives. It all starts with "what's for breakfast?". Why not steer your ship in the direction of health?...You are the captain.
