Alex,

 

I will answer point by point but with a difference in style. English is not my

language so I will be succinct as much is possible. Also I like to post my

sources,

First you have to define what is traditional food , are we talking about

transfat, foot long genetically modified corn kernel? Animal proteins loaded

with omega6. The difference between you and me, I am afraid is that you look at

traditional in the short term ( last 50 years) I look at traditional ( last 5

millions years)

" The simplest of Google searches will reveal that guggul works completely

differently than statins. And, red rice yeast will only work like a statin if it

actually contains a substance that is chemically identical to Lovastatin..

 

Me : Red rice yeast ( the original ) was working like statins, but almost no

side effect till the FDA to defend the interest of Big Pharma forbids the sale

of red rice yeast products that contains ( you say statins and you are wrong

because 3 000 years ago statin were not invented) you are probably talking about

lovastin that was in red rice yeast

 

Never the less Red rice yeast with or without lovastin still works to lower

cholesterol. The mechanism of Red Rice yeast are still not understood and

researchers believe that it's efficacy is in natural's sterols.

 

So yes red rice yeast work like statins Red rice yeast remains the best

alternative to statins. If you don't like it, you can still use two anothers

chinese remedies :Xuezhikang and sZhibituo that are still on the market

You only have to look back 100 years to see the rates of heart disease, cancer,

etc. at a fraction of what they are now. If saturated fat is to blame for our

modern ills, why didn't all the saturated fat in diets 100 years ago cause the

same problems?

 

Looking back 5 million years takes us back to the very first hominid species,

which was a frugivore. However, two and a half million years ago, hominids

shifted to omnivorous diets. Humans evolved from and have always been omnivores.

 

As for my own diet, I go back way further than 50 or even 100 years. I eat a

predominantly paleo diet. Non-starchy vegetables (some raw, some cooked) and

fruit make up the bulk of my diet (of course, modern fruits and vegetables are

almost all the products of thousands of years of agrarian-age selective

breeding, so there's no way to be strictly paleo in that regard.) The red meat

in my diet is all pasture fed (wild deer from my property and grass-fed lamb and

elk; no beef, no pork.) I'm pretty sure the organic chicken I buy is grain fed,

but chickens naturally eat a lot of seeds, so I'm not as particular about that

as I am with grazing animals. The eggs I buy are local and free-range with deep

orange yolks. The only dairy in my diet is some whey protein on days I go to the

gym and a little butter now and then; I don't drink milk or eat cheese. On rare

occasions, I'll eat some grains and/or beans, but I almost always avoid wheat

and other glutenous grains.
