Our Health is a Mess - "Healthy Diet" is the cause.

John Veitch from Open Future Health

This is not a welcome message, but the most well controlled and expensive health study ever done, with over 19,000 women, showed that there are no health benefits in the diet we've been told to eat for 50 years. So what now?

This is not a welcome message, but the most well controlled and expensive health study ever done, with over 19,000 women, showed that there are no health benefits in the diet we've been told to eat for 50 years. So what now?

First of all try to understand how this could have happened. I've written a long essay about it. I link to that below.

"Healthy Eating: The Big Mistake How modern medicine got it wrong about diabetes, cholesterol, cancer, Alzheimer's and obesity", is a new book being published in a few days. The author Dr Verner Wheelock, has been studying this issue for many years, writing up his research in a blog, which is a common practice today. That allows other experts and critics to respond to the writing and mistakes and weaknesses to be identified. This book will be well researched, and all the required links to science will be provided. Here in NZ, we might have to wait a few months for printed copies.

Sadly, in New Zealand, Otago University which should be taking a lead here, is still actively supporting the old broken paradigm. The same is true of universities in South Africa and Australia. In New Zealand only the Auckland University of Technology is actively supporting the new science. If you have weight issues, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, heart problems, cancer, or you are worried about future Alzheimer's, show an interest. Become informed; the new science of the last 10 years has the power to transform your life. Read the Open Future Health website for more detail.

One of the key reasons for promoting the diet recommended for the last 50 years, was to prevent heart disease. A low fat diet was supposed to keep your cholesterol low and that would supposedly reduce your CVD risk. Another fail. The third image shows that people with low cholesterol are admitted to hospital for CVD, and that (particularly for older people) high cholesterol seems to be beneficial.

Please do your own research. There is much to learn, and better health will be your reward.
