The Ballad Of Cheap Vitamins And Motor Oil

The Ballad Of Cheap Vitamins And Motor Oil

By Alan Graham (with Alfred Lehmberg)

 

Every time I ask someone if they eat a healthy diet and take a good

multivitamin/mineral, they invariably say, " yes. " They go on to

explain how they first follow the " New Food Pyramid " (consuming lots

of bread, pasta, cereal, fruit juice & milk)... ...and then they tell

me they take a " Centrum " multi to, you know, insure they are covered

from " A " to " Zinc. " They smile at the witticism...

 

I'll cut right to the chase. The preceding is a recipe for

unhealthful disaster.

 

Why? Because the " food pyramid, " is a corporate-driven lie (read

LTR# 12, 13 & 15 at http://www.alienview.net/ALLTCON.html ). It is

an egregious lie benefiting the few at the cruel expense of the many!

Sincerely, all multi-vit/min (like " Theragram " , " One-a-Day " , and

even " Flintstone " ) from grocery stores and the like are, pretty much,

an unhealthful waste of money for the following two reasons:

 

FIRST - these very cheaply manufactured tablets often pass through the

system without even being completely dissolved! This is because these

pills are semi-indigestible little pebbles hard pressed at high

temperature and pressure . They are shellacked pellets with a

pharmaceutical glaze coating and they are armored and bound with

synthetic chemicals like dicalcium phosphate and magnesium sterate.

 

SECOND - virtually every ingredient is the absolute cheapest and LEAST

ABSORBABLE synthetic form of the many forms available! In most cases,

this not only makes them more difficult to assimilate, but can have

adverse reactions like diarrhea... as opposed to the non-adverse

effects of organically chelated minerals and " food based " Vitamins &

binders. This is the tip of the iceberg hazarding you and those you

love, reader! The stuff gleefully sold to you to enhance your health

can actually degrade it!

 

Part of the reason for using these synthetic binders and inferior

forms of minerals that are inorganic salts (as opposed to superior

organic chelated minerals?), other than being cheap (...forgetting

that's the main reason...), is to be able to get all that " crap " into

one convenient pill that's not too big. Synthetic binders and

inorganic salts take up less space, you see? The per unit costs are

reduced so a greater corporate profit is realized. It's too bad that

it degrades the product to the point of possible health hazardousness

and uselessness.

 

That is unfortunate, indeed.

 

In contrast -- some of the better, more expensive supplements, using

food based binders and organic chelated minerals, usually have to use

a bigger tablet or capsule... or separate the daily dose into 2, 3 or

4 tablets (or capsules). One of my favorite Multis, in fact,

recommends 6 capsules daily! Of course it has about anything you

could ever want with regard to health enhancement, from Digestive

Enzymes to Myco-Defense Mushrooms and more. Fine wine compared with

pond water, reader. I don't remotely overstate this!

 

Also, the better tablets or caplets are pressed under, more expensive,

'cooler' temperatures. This is forgetting, of course, that the

chemical form of the vitamins or minerals incorporated are likely the

best and most ABSORBABLE non-synthetic forms available! See the

difference reader?

 

Here's yet another applicable Dr. Zorba Pasture anecdote...:

 

" Tom " , Dr. Pasture's radio side-kick, read an email to Zorba on his

NPR radio show regarding a person who was taking a fairly expensive

Multivitamin/Mineral requiring the consumption of 3 tablets daily...

 

Incomprehensibly ignorant once again in his animated, bemused, and

incredulous radio-voice, Zorby loudly exclaimed " THAT'S TOO MANY " !

 

You could tell by his reaction that he thought the writer was taking 3

times a " normal " dose. So " Side-Kick-Tom " (whom I suspect has about 10

I.Q. points on Dr. Z ) said " Zorba, I think that means the SINGLE

daily dose is divided into 3 pills. " to which Zorba said " Ohh ?...

Well it's still too many - you only need one Vitamin pill daily. "

 

He moved on. I was just incredulous! What a bone-headed thing to

say, eh reader? Absolutely. An expression of pompous ignorance at

best! At worst?

 

OK...Why would a brilliant doctor with a world wide listening audience

think it so strange & unnecessary to divide a dose of something into 3

smaller doses throughout the day...Gee, don't they do that with

pharmaceuticals all the time?

 

I suspect that most people who know NOTHING about nutritional

supplementation could easily visualize how dividing nutrients into 3

separate doses would be a good thing... and best practice... thereby

having a relatively constant " Trickle-charge " of supplements

throughout the day! After all, don't we all try to eat three meals a

day for that very reason? AND...because most supplements work in

synergy with food, doesn't it make sense to take these supps. 3 times

daily with meals... ...Am I missing something?

 

Additionally, it is a well established fact in the holistic health

community that one can only absorb about 500mg of Calcium at any one

time! So if you take a 1000mg to1500mg dose of Cal. all at once (like

Dr. Z recommends)... aren't you wasting a bunch of it!

 

Folks, Dr. Pasture does not have the training to understand &

appreciate just how complicated it can be to fully utilize any

mineral, especially Calcium, and just how many Vitamins, Minerals &

co-factors have to fall in place, domino-like, to accomplish this. It

can be a difficult, slow, and inefficient process that handles only

" so much " at a time.

 

This is because Minerals, themselves, are INORGANIC so Mother Nature

must use a couple of time-consuming tricks to get them into a

configuration that can then be incorporated into " The Bio-System " .

Me? I feel I understand this science. I take 500mg of Elemental,

Amino Acid Chelated Calcium, 3 times daily.

 

Back to Dr. Z who has the temerity to ignorantly mock those people who

" foolishly " buy expensive Multi Vit/Min. He says that folks should

buy the cheapest, discount store, generic, giant-size bottle for about

$12.00 a YEAR ... as long as it has the USP (United States

Pharmacopeia) Seal ... This is a 'seal' essentially meaning that the

product contains what's on the label & that it meets the MINIMUM

standards to call itself a multi-vitamin. The reader might remember

the character of corporate lap-dogs setting those standards. The USP

is supposedly " non-governmental " but their test criteria is recognized

by the Government as the official source.

 

Here's what the CSPI has to say:

 

" Center for Science in the Public Interest " -- For Immediate Release:

October 4, 2002;

 

New Supplement Certification Program May Mislead Consumers :USP Mark

Does Not Mean Ingredient Is Safe Or Effective. "

 

What!?!

 

Yes folks, it's true! Virtually ALL supplemental *watch-dog*

organizations like the USP only verify " Potency & Purity " ...and may

check to see if it meets the standards for dissolving (those standards

are pretty low)... BUT! They don't care or comment about the

efficacy of a particular ingredient.

 

For example, one Multi may have Magnesium Oxide (which is Crap,

reader!) while another uses Magnesium Citrate ( which is a superior

form)... but both will get the same passing grade as long as they meet

" Potency & Purity " ! So, if you have a Multi Vit/Min where EVERY

ingredient is the cheapest, least absorbable form, what you have is a

" Crapola-Multi " with a USP Seal...in other words, you have Centrum,

Theragram, One a Day, Flintstones, etc, etc...

 

" Flintstones " , reader! Flintstones! They're our children for god's sake!

 

It is difficult to imagine a Multi that is inferior to the already

inferior multi's like Centrum, etc... but if you CAN find a really,

really cheap, discount, generic multi with 365 hard pressed tablets

for $11.99 at Sam's Club or whatever, with a USP seal, then that's the

one you want... ...according to the good doctor " Z. "

 

So, Let me get this straight... Zorba wants you to put " Stuff " in your

body that barely meets the minimum standards to call itself a Multi,

OKed by the Government. Hummm... But how does he feel about his car?

 

WELL...a couple of the government's " non-governmental " agencies put

their seal on very cheap motor oil that meets the minimum standards to

call itself Motor Oil ... here's what

http://www.metrokc.gov/procure/green/oil.htm has to say:

 

" Several oil companies now market products that have been certified by

the American Petroleum Institute (API). API Certification is the

basis for warranty requirements of motor vehicle manufacturers and

thus is used in specifications of motor oil buyers. Other

technologies, such as simple filtration, have also been used to

recycle used motor oil. These technologies are often sufficient to

make used oil useful as a substitute for virgin oil in fuel

applications. "

 

The SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) stamp of approval is on even

very cheap " No-name " motor oils that meet the requirements for

military vehicles...

 

 

....So, here's my question to Zorba -- does he put that cheap,

" cleaned-up " used motor oil or cheap " No-name " new oil in his new

" BMW " ? Seeing as how it meets the minimum standards, set by the

Government to call itself motor oil... he should, considering his

faith in government " Seals " ...but somehow I doubt it... Zorba would

have more respect for his " Beamer " ...just not much respect for your

body & human physiology.

 

This is pure speculation because I have no idea what kind of car he

has, but if he has a nice new one, I bet he doesn't put cheap generic

oil in it. In fact, ask 1000 MDs who own new 700 Series Mercedes if

they use " cleaned & filtered " used motor oil, considering virtually

all car manufactories say that it meets their warranty requirements!

I bet 99.9% will say " HECK NO ! I use 100% Virgin, High Grade, High

Detergent, Multi Viscosity oil that comes from a single individual

batch of Pure, Pennsylvania crude drawn from the veins of Amish school

girls. "

 

OK, I see...Well, Doctor... what kind of Vitamins do you take and

recommend? " Oh, it doesn't matter much... use any brand with the USP

Seal " ?

 

So...putting a cheap, harsh, inferior, synthetic, poorly absorbed (and

in my opinion, unhealthful), possibly toxic supplement in your body is

OK because of some Mickey Mouse " Seal " that doesn't really tell you

what you need to know and misleads you on the rest... ...but cheap

motor oil with an official seal is not OK... does the reader see the

dichotomy or smell the inconsistency... ...feel the disjunct?

 

These self-same MDs would be the first to tell you the human body is a

high performance biological machine, reader... you want to run rapidly

" gunkable " , bargain basement *oil* in the only bio-machine you will

ever have? I suspect not, on reflection.

 

And this is the real kicker of irony! That cheaper, recycled motor

oil will do a MUCH more efficacious job in your car than those " Crap "

Vitamins will ever do in your body!

 

By the way...don't tell " Dr. 700 Series " , but MERCEDES has been

putting RECYCLED OIL in THEIR NEW CARS for YEARS !!!

 

Wait a minute Mr. Graham! Do YOU use that cheap recycled oil in your

car? ...Huh, Who Me? ...No freaking Way!

 

Just kidding Folks...that was the old Al,...because I'm a " Green " sort

of guy, I am going to start using recycled oil - not because of some

government-blessed organization's " Seal " but because a bunch of

Teutonic Engineers at Mercedes-Benz are probably on to something.

(...und you vill like it !!)

 

You see...now all you have to do is get Dr. Mercola www.mercola.com &

the Leaf lady www.leaflady.org to start taking grocery store vitamins

and explain how they are superior ...then I will start taking

Centrum...just like the recycled oil. OK, take a deep breath and

hold it...

 

The following describes three key things to look for when determining

the efficacy of your multivitamin:

 

Vitamin " E " -- the most obvious indicator of an inferior multivit...

is the use of the petrochemical synthetic form of Vitamin " E " -- " DL "

alpha tocopherol (the " d " and " l " should actually be lower case... I

cap them for ease of reading), as opposed to the natural forms " D "

alpha (no " L " ) and/or, even better, Natural Mixed tocopherol ...( This

superior Mixed form has beta, gamma, and delta along with the alpha).

In the synthetic " DL " form, (the synthetic is always a double

molecule) the " L " molecule is a mirror image of the usable " D "

molecule, making the " L " unusable by humans. Unfortunately the " L "

still fits nicely into the Vitamin " E " receptor site, much like many

keys will fit in a certain style of key-hole but only one key will

turn the lock. Consequently the " L " molecule is " plugging the

keyhole " , so to speak, and not allowing the usable " D " in to turn

same! Think chewing gum in the keyhole.

 

This means that out of the 400 IU of " DL " Vit. " E " that you paid for,

only about 150 IU, or less, are actually being used by you. It gets

worse.

 

According to the Canadian Government (you could perhaps argue the

red-herring that Canada has an axe to grind because they grow lots of

soy beans for natural Vit. " E " but don't even bother): Even though

the usable synthetic " D " molecule and the natural " D " molecule, in

theory - on paper, are identical... ...Canadian science claims that

the human body still tells the difference... and whereas synthetic " D "

is used but one time, the natural " D " is used over and over again...

....several times! Magic!

 

This inexplicable recycling of one " D " molecule, but not the other,

results in two to three times the vitamin " E " found in most tissue

(...biopsy of the brain revealing the highest!). Hmmm... Mother

Nature on the job, I'm betting!

 

Mineral Forms -- The other sure sign of product inferiority is the

form of minerals used. These are the cheap inorganic salts like

carbonate, oxide, and phosphate. These inorganic mineral forms are

difficult to absorb and they are much more likely to cause problems --

a good example of this is magnesium oxide causing diarrhea.

 

The inorganic calcium form Carbonate, found in Centrum (et sig al) is

very difficult to absorb because the carbonate (...also in Tums, btw!)

neutralizes the very stomach acid that is required for good absorption.

 

So when a doctor tells you Tums is a " good source of calcium " , they're

either lying or they are a bonehead (like Zorba, who says it all the

time). Always look for organic chelation, in the preferred form " Amino

Acid Chelation " (like the Albion Process), or " citrate " ( especially

for calcium ) or malate, lactate, etc. Also, " Krebs Cycle Chelation "

is very, very good.

 

Vitamin " D " -- If the Vit. D is D-2, it's no good - this is the cheap

crap found in milk. Always make sure it is the more active form D-3

found in Cod Liver Oil, Eggs & the better supplements.

 

The preceding three examples should be sufficient indicators as to the

quality of a multivitamin: SO...

 

If the label says " DL " alpha tocopherol, calcium carbonate, magnesium

oxide & Vit. D-2 ... put it back! Quick and dirty!

 

But, if it says " D " alpha, or Mixed tocopherol, calcium citrate (etc),

magnesium amino acid chelation (etc) & Vit. D-3 -- BUY IT...

....because this means the rest of the ingredients are almost sure to

be OK. You don't have to peruse the whole tedious laundry list...but

if you're like me, you will do so anyway. Label reading should be a

required course in high school.

 

In descending order: I prefer supplements that are liquid, scoop-able

powder, capsules, and then food based tablets or caplets.

 

Sublingual (under the tongue) tablets or sprays are actually the best

absorbed ( by going directly into the bloodstream ) and in some cases

necessary, if easily destroyed by stomach acid... like SOD &

Glutathion or like B12, which needs an " Intrinsic Factor " in the gut

to be absorbed (often missing); however, some supplements don't work

very well this sublingual way.

 

Fortunately, Methylcobalamin " B-12 " and B-12 Complexes with folic

acid & B-6 do work well sublingually.

 

Also, don't automatically poo-poo tablets in favor of capsules -- some

things have to be in a specially coated tablet to make it through the

stomach acid in order to open in the gut...SAMe & SOD are examples.

There is a capsule that is designed to make it through the stomach

acid and open in the gut...New Life Colostrum is the only example I'm

aware of, although I'm sure there are others.

 

*Medical doctors* like Zorba don't really understand nutrition &

supplements... ...and they don't want to understand because it is in

their financial interest to play dumb... thus surreptitiously

perpetuating the same old tired lies. Such is their cognitive dissonance.

 

Here are just a few of those lies:

 

a)...Synthetic Vitamins are just as good as natural Vitamins. No! No

way...the most cursory research will show this is just not true.

However, doctors want people to get used to the idea that " Synthetic

is good " (or even better) so they can push Synthetic alternatives to

natural forms... Synthroid (synthetic thyroid hormone) is a good

example. Do you want to know the big reason they give for why

synthetic drugs are *better*? It is because they can get the dosage

very precise as opposed to natural forms sometimes have slight

variations...

 

OK...so freaking what! I would rather take something that works &

works naturally, even if the dosages have a little greater margin of

error, instead of a harsh, toxic, or inefficient form that does not

work or might have harmful side effects. A good example is natural

Armour Desiccated Thyroid Hormones as opposed to the synthetic

Synthroid mentioned above.

 

b)...You can get all the necessary nutrients in a balanced diet...

No! Please! What a festering crock, reader...

 

Most people are EFA (Essential Fatty Acids) deficient -- even the

sheeple who follow the New Food Pyramid (NFP) are Omega 3 deficient!

This is because we consume WAY too much Omega 6 food oils like corn,

soy, canola, sunflower, etc. (all recommended by the NEW Food Pyramid,

remember). These Omega 6 oils overpower & shut down the Omega 3 Pathway.

 

We further block EFA's by consuming lots of NFP encouraged bread,

cereal, pasta, juices & " Cheezy Poofs " These inhibit the production

of the D6D Enzyme needed for conversion of the simple Omega 3 (ALA),

to the more complex " work-horse " Omega 3's: EPA & DHA!

 

Also, many of the 70 plus trace minerals have been leached from our

soil as a result of uninformed farming... artificial fertilizers only

replace 3 of the elements! Anytime different groups are given trace

minerals, in particular really powerful, critical ones like Selenium

-- heart disease & cancer decrease! In fact the preceding was done

with a whole country... New Zealand. The selenium depleted soil was

causing several diseases, like cancer! It was corrected by importing

selenium rich meat from Australia.

 

c)... You can meet your Calcium requirements with 4 servings of dairy.

No! How do these people use a mirror at all! Christ retches!

 

OK, lets say you need 1200mg of Cal. and 4 dairy servings has 1200mg

of Cal. - So there you have it, you've met the goal...not so fast, my

Friend!

 

Do you really think you are utilizing ALL 1200mg of that Calcium? No

way, boys and girls!

 

The Calcium/Magnesium ratio needs to be at least a " 2 to 1 " , and " 1 to

1 " would be even better... so Milk, at a " 10 to 1 " ratio, has a real

problem. Also, Vitamin D-3 is needed to absorb Cal. but dairy uses

Vit. D-2... ...which is not very effective for good absorption.

 

Additionally, the doctors & the dairy people never mention that many

other minerals, etc. are required to utilize Calcium, things like

potassium, silicon & sodium ...also TRACE minerals like boron, zinc &

copper along with 2 or 3 dozen other trace elements as co-factors.

Remember the dominos I alluded to before!

 

So, when the women of the WHI study were given a garbage calcium supp.

(Cal. Carbonate, Zorba's favorite form!) and the inferior form of

Vitamin D ( D-2 ), the Doctors & Dairy Industry were able to shout it

from the roof-tops that Calcium supps don't work! Outrageous

duplicity, reader! They KNOW the difference! What else can you call

that... ...but evil!

 

Something else they were reluctant to discuss with the consumer? They

didn't mention that many of those women consumed dairy every day...

and were still developing Osteoporosis! ...Got milk?

 

My 80 year old mother consumed large amounts of Milk, yogurt & cottage

cheese her whole life to avoid the osteoporosis that plagued her

mother...you guessed it...she is bent over double with osteoporosis,

regardless! You will be lucky if you utilize 30% of the Calcium found

in milk, but if you follow the recommendations of your doctor & the

New Food Pyramid? Then you will absorb even LESS. This is science

remember!

 

Consider folks, Doctors are not trained in nutrition &

supplementation. In medical school those courses (if offered at all)

are ELECTIVES. But the real tragedy is that the people who do get

training, the mainstream Dieticians? They just repeat the same old

tired lies they are taught in " Dietician College " that make you sick &

keep you sick. These are Schools receiving big grants from

pharmaceutical & processed food industries, remember.

 

Here are two simple questions that you can ask your local hospital

Dieticians that will illustrate the depth of their ignorance (or, I

suspect an evil mendaciousness):

 

QUESTION # 1... Is Extra-Virgin, 'NON'-hydrogenated coconut oil

healthful? They will say NO! ...Coconut oil is heart unhealthful

because it is saturated fat...! OK, this person is either ignorant or

evil.

 

If they plead ignorance, it requires purposely buying into the lie...

covering their eyes & ears to the cacophony of data everywhere! This

data shows that non-hydrogenated CCnut Oil is a magical,

heart-healthy, and unique Fatty Acid (FA)! That's why it is in every

BABY FORMULA on the shelf at " WalleyWorld " ! Go look!

 

The justification for the CCnut Oil lies taught in Dietician College

are based on a 4 decade old study where the evil partially

Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (pHVO) corporations took Extra Virgin,

unrefined, CCnut Oil and then HYDROGENATED it, turned it into a

poison...why? ...So they could then conduct tests that showed it was

heart unhealthy. SO... for dieticians, after all this time, to

continue to repeat that tired old canard requires covering your ears &

dropping to your knees before Satan, dammit! Precious little

hyperbole there, reader.

 

I dare you to go to Google and punch-in *non-hydrogenated coconut

oil* -- then scan the topics and see how far you have to scroll into

the 20,000 hits before you find one that backs the Dietician's bogus

claim...I scrolled for about 15 minutes and still had not found one.

HOWEVER, there was a continuous stream of articles, from independent

researchers around the world, explaining the efficacy of the magical

MCT's (Medium Chain Triglycerides) found most heavily in CCnut Oil.

 

Punch-in *hydrogenated coconut oil*! Start scanning the 300,000 hits

and see how long it takes you to find JUST ONE that has anything

negative to say about unrefined, Extra-Virgin, NON-hydrogenated CCnut

Oil...BUT page after page reflects how corporate man takes a wonderful

gift of nature, unrefined coconut oil, and turns it into an

abomination through hydrogenation. This was an evil trick to destroy

the Unrefined, CCnut Oil market so a few rich people could get, just a

little, richer by selling you toxic pHVO (partially Hydrogenated

Vegetable Oil) and YES...toxic Hydrogenated Coconut Oil.

 

QUESTION # 2... Is refined, grocery store canola oil healthful? They

will say YES! Canola oil is heart healthy because it is a Mono Unsat

oil, just like Olive oil! Also, it has healthful Omega 3 & is Very

low in SatFat... OK, do I need to say it? NO! Oh Yea, Dr. " Z " says

that " canola...just like olive oil... " crapola, all the time...

 

There are a plethora of reasons why canola oil is crap and should not

be uttered in the same breath with Olive Oil... but just let me give

you 2 or 3.

 

Lets look at that " just like olive oil " by comparing two Grocery Store

examples, neither of which require refrigeration after opening (a key

point).

 

a)... Olive Oil -- It is 76% Mono oil...mono is stable so does not

readily turn rancid & toxic (R & T). It is 8% Poly oil...poly is

unstable so it will readily turn R & T. However, most or all of this

small, negligible 8%, does not readily oxidize for two reasons : the

olive, being a soft fruit, will let you extract its oil without much

pressure & heat. Also, the large 76% mono with its compliment of

antioxidants can usually protect the small 8% poly from oxidation.

Consequently, Olive Oil does not require additional processing, like

the RBDing discussed below under Canola Oil.

 

b)... Canola Oil -- It is only 56% Mono oil...Yea but, isn't 56%

pretty high ? Well I guess so, but the problem is " what's left over " ?

Because of this lower 56% Mono, " what's left over " is a big chunk of

poly at 37%, which is NOT a negligible amount (like the measly 8% in

Olive oil), and considering it has to be pressed from a seed (the Rape

Seed), it gets hotter...so that 37% poly has to be RBDed (Refined,

Bleached & Deodorized) which means that it is already partially toxic

& rancid when you bring it home from the grocery store... ...but you

can't smell the rancidity because of the Deodorizing Process that

destroys the rancid smell with very high heat, also pretty much

destroys any nutritional value that the oil might have once had.

 

Dieticians use 3 convenient little lies, or misdirection's, to be able

to " honestly " say Canola oil is heart healthy :

 

(a)...The canola oil they are always referencing is 'Unrefined' oil

which is extracted much more carefully & expensively so the poly

portion is not rancid, PLUS it must be refrigerated after opening. You

never find this kind of oil in the typical grocery store! When is the

last time you bought canola oil that had to be refrigerated? I

Know...NEVER !

 

You see Folks, the evil, high ranking, mainstream dieticians know that

people are not going to seek out unrefined canola and then pay 4 or 5

times as much, when they think regular, refined, grocery store canola

is healthful, based upon what dieticians DON'T tell them.

 

(b)... They are quick to tell you that canola has 7% heart-healthful,

Omega 3 Poly-unsat Fatty Acid. That 7% poly is part of the 37% poly

mentioned above, that had to be RBDed because it turned rancid during

the refining process...in fact, because the 7% Omega 3 is even MORE

complex (thus more unstable), than the remaining 30% Omega 6, LESS

complex oil,... the Omega 3 oil is the first to go rancid. Again, the

only canola with non-rancid Omega 3 is the expensive kind that you

NEVER see in Winn Dixie.

 

©... They tell you Canola oil is wonderful because, of all the food

oils, it has the least amount of Saturated Fat (SatFat) at only 7%.

But, you see Folks, this is a BAD thing... natural, undamaged, plant

derived SatFat, like the 16% SatFat in Olive Oil, is GOOD FOR YOU --

if you didn't give your body some undamaged SatFat, your body would

make it on its own to fulfill a host of critical physiological

chores... SO having LESS healthful SatFat (7% in canola) means you

have MORE room left over for unhealthy Poly Oil (the 37%).

 

(56% Mono) + (30% Poly, Om 6) + (7% Poly, Om 3) + (7% SatFat) = 100%

Canola

 

(76% Mono) + ( 8% Poly, OM 6) + (no rancid Om 3) + (16% SatFat) = 100%

Olive

 

Can you see the critical differences that makes one healthful & the

other, decidedly NOT!

 

Anecdote time: Dieticians tell so many lies that they can't keep the

lies straight without errors! Here in our little LA (Lower Alabama)

town of Ozark, a local talk show had two young female dieticians from

the local hospital talking about weight loss & the low-carb diet.

Initially, they explained that people on a low-carb diet could have

substantial weight loss, while actually consuming many more calories,

by eating caloric-dense foods like meat, cheese, eggs, butter & mayo...

 

Then towards the end of the show when asked " what is the key to weight

loss " ? ...They dredged up the " Dietitian School Mantra " that the

" ONLY way to lose weight was to eat a balanced diet while consuming

less calories & exercising more. " WAIT A MINUTE, Skippy! Didn't you

just say you could eat a high caloric, high fat, low-carb diet and

lose substantial weight?

 

Please show this paper to your Family Doctor or Dietician -- then

after they " spit & sputter " or otherwise hack up an institutional

hair-ball and tell you I'm wrong? Write down their reasons as to why,

will you? E-mail those reasons to me. I will promptly e-reply as to

where and how they are lying to you... ...this time, too! Sincerely,

I will debate these scurrilous persons any time... any where!

 

Remember, as you compare our conflicting positions; however, who has

the biggest pecuniary dog in the hunt, reader! Then watch as my dog

handily shreds their dog and shows their dog for what it really is: A

conflicted shill for sociopathic corporate interests greedily and

gleefully campaigning to make us stupid. To make us sick... Why? So

they can sell us their 21st Century snake oil.

 

Until next time, reader? Well Be.
