Monday, June 25. 2007What is wrong with modern nutrition?The typical modern diet is a complete disaster. The current epidemic of cancer, obesity and diabetes are proof-positive that poor eating habits and inferior nutritional products are accelerating a myriad of horrific epidemics. Doctors, nutritionists and so-called "heath experts" look for the next compound, substance or medicinal miracle substance to sell to the public for profit. Profit is King. Meanwhile real miracle substances and compounds are available, not at GNC or pharmacy, but rather at the local grocery store! For example; certain primal foods at the low end of the food chain, plant foods such as broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts, beans, nuts, seeds, etc., are incredibly beneficial, yet often neglected and underappreciated! In addition there is the issue of pollution: we live today in a world contaminated with industrial toxic chemicals. We also overlook the fact that we have inherited mechanisms that can protect us from most of these harmful compounds. But these inherited mechanisms cannot be activated without proper nutrition. Modern day nutrition places incredible emphasis on vitamins and minerals, and while it is true that these are essential and needed, but by themselves they are useless! Vitamins and minerals are attributed with way more power than they actually deliver. What really works best are primitive foods from the bottom of the food chain, foods that provide us with primal nutrients, flavonoids, flavonones, glycosides, indoles and sterols. These nutrients have been shown to nourish the body’s command center, the brain and the hormonal system. Many of these primal nutrients work in a way that recharge and revitalize the entire body and keep it in a young and viral state. My approach to human nutrition is fundamentally anti-industrial.

I agree with you, Ori. Since I have been on the Warrior Diet (and now Anti-Estrogenic Diet), my health and performance have improved. I wish I had eaten this way while I was soldier deployed. Your view on fat fuel is very interesting. I have slowly been adding more high fat days per week in my diet (and I agree that this is an efficient way to eat). Your information needs to become more mainstream...this stuff will save people's lives. Some of your nutritional information (as far as food choices) is similar to Jordan Rubin's Maker's Diet - the main difference being your undereating and overeating cycles as opposed to Rubin's more traditional set-up. I think that you guys are on the right track. I have recently purchased a Nubian goat, so that I can consume raw dairy...which I cannot find here in Memphis, TN.
This is what we get when our dietary and nutritional guidelines are shaped by the profit needs of food industry giants like Archer Daniels Midland, Monsanto, and the entire Pharmacetical industry. They created a built-in market of millions of sick, obese, and addicted individuals to profit from, and with administered decline of the middle class by the neocons, there will be more poor people to market their cheap poison to.
