one study says meat causes cancer another show carbs do. I wonder who is right

[Guest guest]

What is fundamentally wrong with our modern lifestyle ?

 

First, I'll present some background information. The first lifeforms

that formed on this planet were single-cell organism. These cells

consist of a big cell soup in which all activity takes place. We

call this type of cell prokaryotes. Bacteria were one of the first

prokaryotic lifeforms on this planet and they are still here.

Prokaryotes can only thrive in places where there is no oxygen. They

have an anaerobic metabolism (meaning they don't need oxygen). Their

primary source of fuel is glucose (sugar), which they ferment to get

energy out of it. This is a very inefficient process. They get a

very small number of ATP (energy) molecules out of every glucose

molecule.

 

When the first plants evolved, the plants started to turn

carbondioxide (CO2) into oxygen (O2). When the oxygen levels in the

atmosphere reached a certain level, a new lifeform evolved, the

eukaroytes. The eukaryotes are much more advanced cells. Instead of

a big cell soup, they consist of different components, called

organelles. Examples of organelles are the mythochondria (the

powerplant), the nucleus and the ribosome. The cellular powerplant,

the mytochondria, enables the cell to convert fats into ATP

molecules very efficiently. It can also convert glucose into ATP

molecules, but it's less efficient, needs three intermediate steps

and renders less ATP molecules. For both processes, the eukaryotic

cells needs oxygen. The efficient conversion of nutrients into ATP

molecules is aerobic (meaning it needs oxygen).

 

Summarizing:

 

Men, animals, yeast and other high-life forms are eukaryotes

Bacteria and lower-life forms are prokaryotes

Eukaryotes need oxygen to work efficiently

Eukaryotes can very efficiently turn fats into energy

Prokaryotes need oxygen-free places to work efficiently

(anaerobically)

Prokaryotes can only feed on glucose

In short: Men have a major advantage over bacteria; We can get huge

amounts of energy out of fats, while bacteria can't.

 

To get back to the question, what is fundamentally wrong with out

modern lifestyle. I think you know what it is I'm talking about. All

dietitians and FDA's are focussing on decreasing fat-intake and

increasing carbohydrate intake. Fats make you fat and carbohydrates

are healthy. That's what all of them are saying. This is completely

incorrect and it's getting clearer and clearer every day. The last

thirty years the amounts of fat in our diets have dropped markedly.

However, the populations gets more and more obese. Diabetes II is

turning epidemic. More people die early of cancers, strokes, heart-

attacks and more modern diseases.

 

All these diseases didn't exist in the paleolithic age. The few

tribes on this planet that still eat like we used to do more than

10.000 years ago, are very healthy. Obese eskimo's don't exist,

cancer and diabetes also is non-existant among eskimo's in their

natural habitat.Vilhalmur Stefansson, a physician and antropologist

already learned this in his many years that he lived among the

eskimo's. He hasn't found a single case of cancer in all these

years !

 

Why is it that cancer doesn't exist among people that don't eat

carbohydrates ?

It's very simple and I'm ashamed of the medical community that they

didn't come up with this before. It's known that cancerous cells are

in fact more like prokaryotes than eukaryotes. If you take a

petridish in which you put some healthy human eukaryotic cells and

you deprive them of oxygen, they should die, because they can only

work aerobically. However, something else happens: They

differentiate into prokaryotic cells: Cancerous cells ! They somehow

remember their ancestors and transform themselves to make sure they

don't die. Being a prokaryote, enables them to thrive without the

much-needed oxygen. As I already summarized above, prokaryotes can

only live on glucose. When you take away the glucose, the cancerous

cells can't get enough energy to grow and as a result to start to

deteriorate. Studies show that tumors decrease in size when a person

stops eating carbohydrates !

 

Carbohydrates are optional !

Not many people know that carbohydrates are not essential. People

can live in full health without eating any carbohydrates. Proteins

and fats are the nutrients that are mandatory. Almost every natural

food comes with the minerals and vitamins that are needed to digest

and metabolize it efficiently. For example, full-kernel wheat

contains lots of chromium, which is needed to metabolize

carbohydrates efficiently. It also contains zinc and other minerals.

The refined wheat we eat as in donuts and white bread is almost

completley void of these minerals. Result is that when one eats

refined wheat, the carbohydrates in it deplete the mineral and

vitamin stores of the body. The body releases stored chromium once

you eat bread, because it's essential for getting the glucose into

the cells. It expects that the food comes with its own chromium, so

it can replete its chromium stores easily. When there is no chromium

available it doesn't take long before the chromium stores are

completley empty and insulin resistance is the result. Please don't

think now that full-kernel wheat is OK, because it isn't. Read it

below.

 

Glucose is toxic !

The body knows very well that glucose is toxic. The moment you put

carbohydrates in your mouth, the pancreas is signalled to start

producing insulin, so it can be released swiftly when the glucose

enters the blood. High glucose levels cause glycation of proteins.

This destroys the proteins. Very small amounts of glucose are needed

to induce very high blood-glucose levels. Even worse, high glucose

levels are toxic for the pancreatic islets of Langerhans, the

insulin-producing cells. Every time you eat carbohydrates, high

glucose levels are the result and each time some of the Langerhans

islets die.

Glucose also causes the excretion of very essential minerals like

magnesium and potassium. Low magnesium is closely related to insulin

resistance ! This is a vicious cycle. Lower magnesium levels cause

worse insulin action, causing higher and longer high glucose levels,

which in turn causes even more excretion of magnesium !

 

Insulin: The fatstorage-hormone

The insulin, produced by the pancreas, kicks in action after one

eats carbohydrates and signals the liver to start converting glucose

into fats. Yes, you read it right. Glucose is the nutrient that

causes the storage of fats in the adipose tissue ! Man can only

store fats when there is insulin present. Insulin is often called

the fatstorage-hormone. If a person doesn't eat any carbohydrates,

the result is that no insulin (very low levels are always available)

is produced and no fat can be stored. But wait, there's more.

Insulin is the antagonist of glucagon, meaning that when insulin

levels are high, glucagon levels are low as a result. Glucagon is

needed to induce lipolysis, which is the burning of fats as fuel.

Summarizing: Insulin is the fatstorage-hormone and insulin inhibits

fat burning !

Studies show that when one eats a 90%-fat diet without caloric

restrictions (or even with excess calories), the person does not

grow fat ! The same for a 90%-protein diet. On the other hand, a 90%-

carbohydrate diet will cause an increase in weight, even with

caloric restrictions. Even worse, a 100% carbohydrate diet will

cause the dying of many internal organs, like the liver, the

pancreas.. A very interesting study shows that rats die earlier when

they are fed Cornflakes than when they're fed the carton box the

flakes came in ! So much for the *healthy* breakfast alternative !

 

Anti-nutrients in grains and legumes

There are many foods that carry in their ingredients the proof that

the foods are not compatible with human beings. Let's start with the

legumes. Legumes are foods that mostly grow underground. Most

legumes are poisonous if eaten raw. I quote from the Healing Crow (I

can't write it any better): Legumes are high in lectins, protease

inhibitors, and phytates. Lectins are proteins that bind

carbohydrates, been identified as being inflammatory and toxic, and

have a casual relationship with auto-immune diseases such as

rheumatoid arthritis, Type I diabetes, and lupus. Phytates or phytic

acids, have been shown to inhibit the absorption of minerals such as

calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc in the digestive tract.

Furthermore, the presence of protease inhibitors interferes with the

breakdown of proteins into amino acids. Vegetarians seeking protein

from legumes, may actually be making their protein deficiencies

worse! A diet high in legumes, at best, will give you

gastrointestinal problems and could result in a mineral deficiency.

At worst, a diet high in legumes could induce an " auto-immune "

response. Furthermore, the soy industry has been pushing the " health

benefits " of soy. As a result, most of our processed foods contain a

soy additive or byproduct, in effect, lacing our foods with possible

toxins.

Grains are also laden with anti-nutrients. I quote from this site:

The bran of grains tend to contain anti-nutrients such as phytic

acid, which inhibits the absorption of calcium and other minerals,

thus contributing to calcium depletion. This can be avoided if the

grains are refined, disposing of the bran, but what is left is a

carbohydrate relatively high in calories and low in nutrients:

flour. By processing the grains, most of the nutrients are lost

along with the anti-nutrients. Many grains also contain proteins,

such as gliadin, that can cause difficulties with the human immune

system, sometimes damaging the intestinal lining

 

Our modern diet creates a walhalla for all parasites and bacteria

Our carbohydrate-rich diet perfectly feeds all parasites and

bacteria. This is why candida and other bacterial infections are so

common. This is also why candida is so easily treated by going on a

low-carbohydrate diet. This robs the candida of his nutrients and it

will die off fairly quick. We have to remember we are superior to

the prokaryotes in that we can utilize fats as fuel and they can't.

Use that advantage for treating bacterial infections and also

cancer !

hello all,

well, sorry i'm new at this, but by reading this i wonder what i can

stick in my face to stay healty................it is great

information, but do you have the flipside of it aswell? it makes me

wonder what isn't going to kill you these

Robert,

 

Enjoyed reading your article. As I read it you are preaching an Atkins

diet.

 

Could you give me a typical day's menu on your diet. As I read you would

have me eating avocados and green leaves all day long.

 

You say you wonder, I certainly do.

Jolly good point Rik! Everything sounds convincing until you get the

full picture. Studies can be fixed to say almost anything the

sponsors want it to say.

 

I haven't enough faith to accept evolutionary theory so this one

falls flat with me at the first step but I wonder how one can

possibly even try to believe that glucose kills. Also, unless you

were to live on flesh and oils, it's impossible to have a carb-free

diet. All plants are full of carbs and, as we are NOT

carnivores..... As the old proverb states: Common sense is not

Ha-ha! Love it!!!=) Seriously though, I think that stressing out

over what you eat has got to be amongst the worst things you can do.

After all, stress kills faster than diet does!!!!=)

 

Chill out and enjoy your food everyone!!=)

I'd like to know what you eat on an average day too.

Love Shell.
