       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.

       The more you can eat like your ancestors, the better—fresh whole
       foods, locally and sustainably raised, and foods that are
       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
       and prevent most diseases.
       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"
       your diet!
       Be wary of nutritional advice from mainstream "experts" as it
       may not be based on science—or based on bad information that is
       several decades outdated.
       Truthful, accurate information is your number one weapon in
       taking control of your health.

       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.

       Scientists identify a bacteriophage that is highly abundant in
       the gut bacteria of people around the world.
       By Jef Akst | July 29, 2014
       SNIPPET:
       Fecal samples from people in the United States, Europe, and Asia
       have revealed a new type of gut bacteriophage, called
       crAssphage, which infects Bacteroides, microbes linked to
       obesity and diabetes, according to a study published last week
       (July 24) in Nature Communications. The previously unknown virus
       may be among the most abundant in the human gut, and could
       impact one’s weight as a result of its effects on host bacteria.

       [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:

       />Orthorexia is an obsessive-compulsive process characterized by
       extreme care for and selection of what is considered to be pure
       ‘healthy’ food. This ritual leads to a very restrictive diet and
       social isolation as a compensation. Orthorexics obsessively
       avoid foods which may contain artificial colours, flavours,
       preservant agents, pesticide residues or genetically modified
       ingredients, unhealthy fats, foods containing too much salt or
       too much sugar and other components. The way of preparation,
       kitchenware and other tools used are also part of the obsessive
       ritual. [img
