In September 2021, I came down with a severe flu-like illness[…]I started researching my diet to see if it was the cause. I ended up down the rabbit hole of seed oils, more popularly called vegetable oils, which include canola, soybean, corn, safflower, and sunflower oil. I had always thought that it was only trans-fats that were dangerous[…]I have come to the conclusion that seed oils are toxic and should not be consumed by human beings. I have since embarked on a quest to eliminate them from my diet
You may be reluctant to examine the boring scientific evidence for why seed oils are toxic, but I promise that you won’t need a PhD. Simply watch this video on how canola oil is made[…]
Before seed oils came onto the scene, heart attacks were unheard of: cardiologists in the early 20th century never saw them[…]Captains of industry found out that they could dump their waste onto the food supply through the magic of industrial chemistry—similar to how they dumped fluoride in the water supply—by offering payola to medical associations for a stamp of approval[…]
I suspect that many of the chronic health problems Americans face today[…]are caused by the consumption of vegetable oils, moreso than a sedentary lifestyle[…]
Even though I was a scientist for many years, I don’t have the time or patience to wade through all the literature[…]I’ve implemented a shortcut. Did the food exist before 1900? Because the 20th century was a disaster for the human race, my heuristic makes the assumption that whatever existed before 1900 was better[…]
When it comes to fats, there are only a few that pass the 1900 test: olive oil, butter, ghee, pork lard, coconut oil (at least in Asia), and beef tallow. All are heavily saturated. Wait, aren’t saturated fats bad for you?[…]
When I compose I meal, I ask myself how I can maximize the amount of animal fats and cholesterol
