Michael Pollan: The Omnivore's Dilemma
Speech at Williams College
Michael Pollan
Sunlight, Grass, Animals= Healthy Food Chain
Author Michael Pollan offer us an amusing, engaging, very funny
and informative presentation in this speech he gave at Williams
College in 2007.
It's a overview of Michael Pollan's work, mostly covering
territory explored in The Omnivore's Dilemma (2006). Almost
everything about America's food production and consumption is
crazy, upside down and the consequences are terrible.
At about 13 minutes in, there is a hilarious rant on corn - how
it permeates everything! And it's not only in our food, not only
in ethanol...everyday items you never thought of can be traced
back to corn! The supermarket ITSELF... yes, building materials!
This video can be enjoyed as a radio show,

Story at-a-glance
By Dr. Mercola
There is no shortage of health advice out there, and no shortage
of bad advice to go along with it. Some misguided notions are
harmless—but others are outright dangerous and can lead you down
the road to chronic health problems and may even trim years off
your life.
It is critically important to decipher fact from fiction. Many
nutrition myths get repeated over and over until they are
mistaken for truth, especially when perpetually spread by public
health authorities.
But the good news is that slowly, the real truth finally appears
to be reaching mainstream audiences, as evidenced by the
eagerness of satirists to take a jab at the food industry, as in
the clever Coca-Cola parody featured above.
In an article addressing destructive nutrition lies, Kris
Gunnars of Authority Nutrition1 is among those admirably trying
to bust the dangerous dietary myths that continue being spread
by so many nutritionists. I agree with the majority of his
points, but have added a few others that I believe to be
important. Read on for my own top 10 list, which builds upon
his.

minimally processed or not processed at all.
These are the types of foods that your genes and biochemistry
are adapted to and will provide you with the ability to reverse

You will find these at your local farmer's market, food co-op,
or in your own backyard garden. And you will be amazed at the
positive changes you'll see in your health when you "clean up"

[center]Plants are poison — and that just may be why they keep
us healthy
HTML http://www.coh2.org/images/Smileys/huhsign.gif
[/center]
The health effects of antioxidants came up recently because a
study found that organic food has more of them. Now science
writer Moises Velasquez-Manoff has a fascinating story on a
theory that upends conventional wisdom about antioxidants.
The original idea was that antioxidants were good because they
sopped up molecules called “reactive oxygen species” (ROS) that
are released by stress and bounce around cells, wrecking havoc.
This new theory suggests that we need the stress, and it’s our
bodies’ reaction to that (producing our own internal
antioxidants) that really does us good.
In other words, it’s the whole system that’s important — piling
on more antioxidants from outside alone basically accomplishes
nothing. Here’s Velasquez-Manoff:
Exercise accelerates the burning of fuel by your cells. If you
peer into muscles after a jog, you’ll see a relative excess of
those supposedly dangerous ROS — exhaust spewed from our
cellular furnaces, the mitochondria. If you examine the same
muscle some time after a run, however, you’ll find those ROS
gone. In their place you’ll see an abundance of native
antioxidants. That’s because, post-exercise, the muscle cells
respond to the oxidative stress by boosting production of native
antioxidants. Those antioxidants, amped up to protect against
the oxidant threat of yesterday’s exercise, now also protect
against other ambient oxidant dangers.
Contrary to the ROS dogma, [scientist Michael] Ristow realized,
the signal of stress conveyed by the ROS during exercise was
essential to this call-and-response between mitochondria and the
cells that housed them. To improve health, he figured, perhaps
we shouldn’t neutralize ROS so much as increase them in a way
that mimicked what happened in exercise. That would boost native
antioxidants, improve insulin sensitivity, and increase overall
resilience.
But we also see a true health benefit from eating plants. This
may be because Fruits and Vegetables Are Trying to Kill You — to
quote the title of Velasquez-Manoff’s piece. That is: The toxins
produced by veggies stimulate the same kind of stress response
as exercise and give your system a work out.
Obviously it’s still too early to make specific dietary
recommendations based on this thinking (though someone will be
trying to turn this into a lucrative diet fad in 5, 4, 3 …). I
still stick with my don’t worry, be happy, eat veggies theory of
nutrition. But check out this fascinating essay, and glory in
the weirdness of the notion that we might just need toxins to
keep us healthy.

crAssphage, which infects Bacteroides, microbes linked to
obesity and diabetes, according to a study published last week

[center][font=arial black]Avocado Varieities[/font][/center]
[center][font=arial black]How Avocado Can Help Improve Your
Cholesterol, Heart, and Brain Health [/font][/center]
January 19, 2015
By Dr. Mercola
Avocados are an excellent source of heart-healthy
monounsaturated fat that is easily burned for energy, while
being low in fructose. Not surprisingly, improved weight
management1,2 is one of the health benefits of avocado
consumption, and its high-fat, low-sugar content is likely a key
factor contributing to this effect.
Research3 has also found that avocados are helpful for
regulating your blood sugar levels. This is an important benefit
for most people, considering that one in four American are
either diabetic or pre-diabetic.
According to the California Avocado Commission, a medium Hass
avocado contains about 22.5 grams of fat, two-thirds of which is
monounsaturated.
They also provide close to 20 essential health-boosting
nutrients, including:
•Fiber
•Vitamin E
•B-vitamins
•Folic acid
•Potassium (more than twice the amount found in a banana), which
can help balance your vitally important potassium to sodium
ratio
Due to its beneficial raw fat content, avocado enables your body
to more efficiently absorb fat-soluble nutrients (such as alpha-
and beta-carotene and lutein) in other foods eaten in
conjunction.
One 2005 study4 found that adding avocado to salad allowed the
volunteers to absorb three to five times more carotenoids
antioxidant molecules, which help protect your body against free
radical damage.
[center][font=arial black]An Avocado a Day May Help Lower Bad
Cholesterol [/font][/center]
Previous research has suggested that avocados might help improve
lipid profiles, both in healthy individuals and in those with
mild hypercholesterolemia (elevated cholesterol levels).
In one such study,5 healthy individuals saw a 16 percent
decrease of serum total cholesterol level following a one-week
long diet high in monounsaturated fat from avocados.
In those with elevated cholesterol levels, the avocado diet
resulted in a 17 percent decrease of serum total cholesterol,
and a 22 percent decrease of both LDL-cholesterol and
triglycerides, along with an 11 percent increase of the
so-called “good” HDL cholesterol.
More recently, researchers at Pennsylvania State University
tested three different cholesterol-reducing diets, to assess and
compare their effectiveness.6,7,8 Forty-five overweight
participants were enrolled in the study, and were assigned to
follow one of the tree diets:
1.Low-fat diet, where saturated fats were substituted for more
carbohydrates, including plenty of fruit and whole grains
2.Moderate-fat diet (without avocado), where saturated fats were
substituted with monounsaturated fats in the form of canola and
sunflower oil. About 34 percent of daily calories came from fat,
but aside from that, it was very similar to the low-fat diet,
which included poultry and low amounts of red meat
3.Moderate-fat diet with avocado. Aside from including one whole
Hass avocado per day, this diet was identical to the other
moderate-fat diet, and the overall fat ratio was the same
The results, reported by the NPR,9 “surprised” the researchers:
“At the end of the study, the researchers found that the avocado
diet led to significant reductions in LDL cholesterol, compared
with the other two diets.
To put the difference in perspective, the avocado diet decreased
LDL cholesterol about 14 milligrams per deciliter of blood.
Compare that with a decrease of about 7 mg/dL for the low-fat
diet, and about a 8 mg/dl drop from the moderate-fat diet.
"I was surprised to see the added benefit [of the avocado],"
Penny Kris-Etherton, a nutrition scientist at Penn State and the
lead author of the study, tells us[font=arial black]." It's
something in the avocado" other than just the fat
composition[/font], she says.”
All Fats Are Not Created Equal
It’s worth noting that canola and other vegetable oils (used in
the moderate-fat diets in the featured study) are typically
hydrogenated, which means they contain trans fats, and trans
fats wreak havoc on your heart and cardiovascular health. So I
for one am not surprised at the results of this study.
Previous research10 has actually shown that replacing saturated
fats with carbohydrates and omega-6 polyunsaturated fats (found
in soybean, corn, and safflower oil) leads to increased small,
high-density LDL particles, increased oxidized LDL, and reduced
HDL.
Research has confirmed that large LDL particles do not
contribute to heart disease. The small, dense LDL particles,
however, do contribute to the build-up of plaque in your
arteries, and trans fat increases small, dense LDL. (Saturated
fat, on the other hand, increases large, fluffy—and benign—LDL.)
Research has also shown that small, dense LDL particles are
increased by eating refined sugar and carbohydrates, such as
bread, pasta, and most processed foods. Together, trans fats and
refined carbs do far more harm than saturated fat ever possibly
could. One tool designed to help you eliminate trans fats are
the Naturally Savvy Get Healthy Challenges that I helped create.
A Note on the DASH Diet...
On a brief side note: In the CBS video above, they also make
mention of the DASH diet, which has been found to lower blood
pressure by as much as five points, rivaling the effects of
blood pressure lowering medications.
The DASH diet is quite similar to the Mediterranean diet,
promoting the consumption of vegetables, fruits, lean protein,
whole grains, and low-fat dairy, and recommends avoiding sugars,
red meat, and salt.
Many believe that the low-sodium is responsible for its success.
However, there’s compelling evidence suggesting that the real
reasons it works so well for both hypertension and weight loss
is because it increases potassium and restricts your intake of
fructose—as does the Mediterranean diet.
Fructose is actually a far more important factor than salt when
it comes to hypertension. The connecting link between fructose
consumption and hypertension lies in the uric acid produced.
Uric acid is a byproduct of fructose metabolism, and increased
uric acid levels drive up your blood pressure.
Now, when you reduce sugar in your diet (from sources such as
added sugars, processed fructose, grains of all kinds, and
processed foods), you need to increase the amount of healthy
fat. And avocado is an excellent choice to bolster your fat
consumption and overall nutrition.
I have been consuming an avocado daily for the last several
years. On most days, I will add a whole avocado to my salad,
which I eat for lunch. This increases my healthy fat and calorie
intake without seriously increasing my protein or carbohydrate
intake. You can also add about ¼ to 1/3 of an avocado as a
healthy banana substitute when making smoothies or your protein
shake.
Avocado Benefits Your Heart and Brain
Besides its beneficial influence on your cholesterol, avocados
have also been found to provide other heart-healthy benefits.
For example, one interesting 2012 study11 found that eating
one-half of a fresh medium Hass avocado with a hamburger
significantly inhibited the production of the inflammatory
compound Interleukin-6 (IL-6), compared to eating a burger
without fresh avocado.
Also, just like avocado does not raise your blood sugar levels,
fresh avocado did not increase triglyceride levels beyond what
was observed when eating the burger alone, despite the avocado
supplying extra fat and calories. According to lead author David
Heber, MD, PhD, the findings offer “promising clues” about
avocado’s ability to benefit vascular function and heart health.
Healthy fats are also vital for optimal brain function, and for
the prevention of degenerative brain disorders like Alzheimer’s.
As noted in a recent issue of Scientific American:12
“The brain thrives on a fat-rich, low carbohydrate diet, which
unfortunately is relatively uncommon in human populations
today,” reports David Perlmutter, author of Grain Brain. “Mayo
Clinic researchers showed that individuals favoring
carbohydrates in their diets had a remarkable 89 percent
increased risk for developing dementia as contrasted to those
whose diets contained the most fat.
Having the highest levels of fat consumption was actually found
to be associated with an incredible 44 percent reduction in risk
for developing dementia.” ...‘Good’ fats include monounsaturated
fats, found abundantly in olive oil, peanut oil, hazelnuts,
avocados and pumpkin seeds, and polyunsaturated fats (omega 3
and omega 6), which are found in flaxseed oil, chia seeds,
marine algae oil and walnuts.”
To Maximize Benefits, Peel Your Avocado the Right Way
Interestingly, the manner in which you de-skin your avocado can
affect how much of its valuable phytonutrients you get out of
it. UCLA research has shown that the greatest concentration of
beneficial carotenoids, for example, is located in the dark
green fruit closest to the inside of the peel. In 2010, the
California Avocado Commission issued guidelines for getting the
most out of your avocado by peeling it the right way.13
To preserve the area with the greatest concentration of
antioxidants, you’re best off peeling the avocado with your
hands, as you would a banana:
1.First, cut the avocado length-wise, around the seed
2.Holding each half, twist them in the opposite directions to
separate them from the seed
3.Remove the seed
4.Cut each half, lengthwise
5.Next, using your thumb and index finger, simply peel the skin
off each piece
[center]How to Get More Avocado into Your Diet[/center]
While avocado is commonly eaten raw, on salad or alone, there
are many other ways to include avocado in your diet. Its creamy,
mild flavor tends to go well with many foods, making it a
refreshing and nutritious addition to various recipes. For
example, you can use avocado:
•As a fat replacement in baking. Simply replace the fat called
for (such as oil, butter, or shortening) with an equal amount of
avocado
•As a first food for babies, in lieu of processed baby food
•In soups. For examples, see Lucy Lock’s Chilled Mediterranean
Soup, or her Raw Creamy Carrot Soup
•As a banana substitute in smoothies or your protein shake
The California Avocado Commission’s website14 contains hundreds
of unique recipes that include avocado. All in all, avocado may
be one of the most beneficial superfoods out there, and may be
particularly valuable if you’re struggling with insulin and
leptin resistance, diabetes, or any other risk factors for heart
disease. Last but not least, avocados are also one of the safest
fruits you can buy conventionally-grown, as their thick skin
protects the inner fruit from pesticides.
On top of that, avocados have been rated as one of the safest
commercial crops in terms of pesticide application,15 so there’s
no real need to spend extra money on organic avocados. ;D
I’ve had my own team test avocados from a variety of growers in
different countries, sold in several major grocery stores, and
they all tested free and clear of harmful chemicals. For more
fun and interesting avocado facts, check out the following
infographic.

Guidelines on Fat and Cholesterol Should Never Have Been Made
HTML http://www.coh2.org/images/Smileys/huhsign.gif
Steve Nissen, chairman of cardiovascular medicine at the
Cleveland Clinic, told USA Today:5 [table]
[tr]
[td]“It’s the right decision. We got the dietary guidelines
wrong. They’ve been wrong for decades.” This message was echoed
in Time Magazine, which recently reported that:
[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]
“[I]n the latest review6 of studies that investigated the link
between dietary fat and causes of death, researchers say the
guidelines got it all wrong. :o In fact, recommendations to
reduce the amount of fat we eat every day should never have been
made.”
Low-fat diets saw a real upswing in 1977, but according to
research published in the Open Heart journal,7 led by Zoe
Harcombe, PhD, there was no scientific basis for the
recommendations to cut fat from our diet in the first place.
What’s worse, the processed food industry replaced fat with
large amounts of sugar >:( :P , While Dr. Harcombe shies away
from making any recommendation about how much dietary fat might
be ideal, she suggests that the take-home message here is to
simply “eat real food.”
I have to say, it’s refreshing to finally see that message being
repeated in the mainstream media. As reported by Time Magazine:8
“The less adulterated and processed your diet is, the more
nutrients and healthy fats, proteins and carbohydrates your body
will get, and the less you’ll have to worry about meeting
specific guidelines or advice that may or may not be based on a
solid body of evidence.”
Processed Fructose Affects Your Body Like Alcohol
The low-fat craze led to an avalanche of new processed food
products, promising to benefit both your waistline and your
heart. Alas, nothing could have been further from the truth.
When fat was removed, sugar was added in, and this has led to a
massive increase in obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and
non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. As it turns out, your body
metabolizes fructose in the same way it metabolizes ethanol,
creating the same toxic effects.
Unlike glucose, which can be used by virtually every cell in
your body, fructose can only be metabolized by your liver,
because your liver is the only organ that has the transporter
for it.
Since nearly all fructose gets shuttled to your liver, and, if
you eat a typical Western-style diet, you consume high amounts
of it, fructose ends up taxing and damaging your liver in the
same way alcohol and other toxins do.
In fact, when you compare the health outcomes of fructose versus
alcohol consumption, you see the diseases they cause are
virtually identical:
