Nina Teicholz - 'The Real Food Politics: Institutional Defense of the Status-Quo'

Great info here! Pay attention...

8:40 "You could say the entire American population was on a low-carb diet in 1965." Many today are unaware that meats back then contained a LOT more fat, especially beef and pork. Also, vegetables were commonly eaten with sauces that contained cream, butter, and/or cheese. Fat-based gravy was commonly served as well, often with nearly every meal. Breads, potatoes, and other starchy foods were generally used to soak up fatty juices from the meat, and the sauces, gravy, and or butter. In other words, starchy foods were used as 'fat delivery devices'. Then American women were told they were killing their husbands with gravy! And other fatty foods. It took awhile for people to give up their food traditions.... but most did, eventualy.

Ancel Keys sounds like a narcissist. Lying, not caring about the harm caused to others by his actions, caring only for the attention he received, attacking, slandering and even destroying anyone who disagreed with him, accusing other people of doing what he was actually doing, being incapable of having mature, critical discussion, etc. Classic narcissist. Very destructive people.

10:10 On Dr Adkins original diet: it is widely misunderstood as a high protein diet; however, when he wrote his book, meats all contained significantly more fat than they do today! Pork was not dry and flavorless. Bacon, beef, hamburger all had more fat. Lamb was also more commonly eaten; now it is mostly eaten by ethnic groups and holidays.

Nina, in Germany your book is only available 2nd hand at Amazon right now - for 51 Euros! And only in English. We need a German translation here in the dietary low-fat German-speaking desert.

YouTube commenter: "I lost 80 pounds on a high-fat low-carb diet and I feel great." YouTube troll: "That's not science! That's not science!"

Let me quote a wise man "If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny." Thomas Jefferson

25:00 'The other three panelists are threatening to... not participate if you are on the panel.' The organizer should have said, 'Fine, then Ms Teicholz will be able to present her material uncontested.' They would have reversed their position and come!

In ancient Egypt, pyramids were used as burial monuments. Basically they were ornate sarcophagi. How fitting then that our very misguided dietary guidelines, that the government/bad science/corporate interest told us to eat, came to us in the shape of a pyramid - an ancient symbol most closely associated with death.

Dr. Ede notes that markers for Alzheimer's disease have been detected in people as young as 24; people who appeared to be doing 'just fine' on a high-carb diet. As people mature, the bodies of most can no longer cope with the overwhelming burden of sugars and starches we are taught are important parts of a 'healthy' diet.

Change my diet? Whoa, that's way too complicated. Get my body cut up in an expensive operation, or take an expensive drug with nasty side effects? Now you're talking!

Anyone else seeing the parallels with the establishment approach to global warming? Settled science, 'science deniers', ad hominem attacks, big government in bed with big corporations and academia. Keep up the good work Nina!

The attack on meat continues with the review of the dietary guidelines in Canada saying that protein should come from vegetables and not meat whenever possible!

Thank you Nina for your wonderful work on this subject! We need more people like you! You are a hero!

So, "plant-based" is really code (dog whistle) for grain-based?

Nice move by Dr.Gerber for re-adjusting the microphone = a much more enjoyable talk.

.... it's called manufacturing consent ...

I lost 30lbs. Next birthday I'll be 65 yrs of age. This is the way to eat! When I'm at the store shopping food I look at the food selections of other shoppers and their body fat. Remember - I was fat, still am a little, but I have the basic knowledge now to exert control over my health. You can do better. MSM is not your reinforcement mechanism. This is the format. It works. Use it...
