Re: - The gut response to what we eat

[Guest guest]

The best source of reference material is probably " Good Calories, Bad Calories " .

Taubes spent almost 7 years researching the book and looked at most of the

relevant research to come to his conclusions. The book has an extensive

reference section.

Taubes talks a great deal about the link between carbohydrate and heart disease.

He also discusses the competition between ascorbic acid and glucose.

Another good reference is the paper written by Rath and ing.

http://orthomolecular.org/library/jom/1992/pdf/1992-v07n01-p005.pdf

ing is the only scientists to win two solo Nobel Prizes in science. But his

story is a classic tale of how truth doesn't really matter all that much in

science. Chomsky writes about this " Manufacturing of Consent " if you care to

read up on how power is a greater force than truth in building consensus.

Here is a good site with testimonials about AA curing heart disease--not

scientific evidence, but powerful none the less.

http://www.practicingmedicinewithoutalicense.com/

The problem is that heart disease is worth $300B to the doctor's so they are

reluctant to even consider the notion that a few pennies worth of unpatentable

ascorbic acid might wipe out all the value in their industry.

There has never been a large scale, placebo controlled trial of ascorbic acid

for the treatment of heart disease. If there were it would be clear that most

types of heart disease can be reversed with ascorbic acid. (Atherosclerosis,

enlargement, angina, arrhythmia, etc.)

As for PUFAs effect on arteries, just go to pubmed and do some searching. It's a

pretty sell established fact that oxidation products from PUFAs cause

inflammation of arterial walls.

Yeah it's actually not a good book to read while in school because it makes you

realize that many of your nutrition and chronic disease instructors are

basically full of sh*t. Most have not read it so they don't know how many of

their " theories " have little or no scientific support. You just end up driving

them crazy with " yeah, but what about this... " type questions.

stop and begin reading the materials for the nutrition program. I will note

that in my weight file and get back to it when I'm out of school.
