Toxic Veg Oil

6 Reasons to Avoid Toxic Vegetable Oils – Part 5 & 6

1 Comment

5. Cholesterol Craziness

When did heart disease start getting out of control? Precisely when society switched from stable, saturated fats to vegetable and seed oils. This switch came via the saturated fat and cholesterol scare prompted by Ancel Keys and the bogus lipid hypothesis, which purported to link saturated fat and high cholesterol with heart disease.

US dietary guidelines

That myth has been thoroughly debunked, yet we’re still suffering the consequences of the scare. In fact, it’s still being pushed today by Big Agriculture — the people who produce these oils — and government institutions who are funded by Big Agriculture.

The craziness is that vegetable oils are promoted as improving cholesterol. What vegetable oils do in many cases is reduce total cholesterol numbers. What nobody told you is that total cholesterol numbers are meaningless. 75% of heart attack patients have a lipid panel that does not indicate high risk for heart attack. Relying on total cholesterol numbers (which is the standard panel) is worse than flipping a coin.

Cholesterol Dr. Kendrick

So, what does matter? The size and type of cholesterol is what matters. And while vegetable oils may lower total cholesterol, they skew the size and type of the particles in the wrong direction. If you want more information on understanding cholesterol in clear terms, check out my podcast interview with Jimmy Moore about his new BOOK, Cholesterol Clarity.

Cholesterol fools

The need to know information is this: if your goal is a healthy heart, vegetable oils are literally killing you.

6 Reasons to Avoid Toxic Vegetable Oils – Part 2

2. Lopsided Omega-6 to Omega-3 Ratios

We all know how important it is to reduce inflammation.

One way is to consume fats that are considered high in omega-3s (O3) rather than high doses of omega-6s (O6) because O3s have the unique ability to calm the flames of systemic inflammation. But that’s not the whole story.

What matters most is our ratio of O3 fats to O6 fats. The optimal ratio is 1 to 1. Many Americans — due to the overconsumption of O6 fats — are hovering around the 30:1 mark.

Veg oil is bad for you

Vegetable and seed oils are mostly comprised of O6 fats. Even Canola Oil, which is touted as “heart healthy” and “packed with O3 fats” is a poor choice because the O3 fats in Canola Oil are typically rancid by the time you consume them.

Are Vegetable Oils Bad for You? 

French Fries

A better question might be: “Did you know vegetable oils (actually seed oils) are not fit for human consumption?”

From a Recent Primed Couple:

“Hey Chad .. Mary accidentely consumed vegatable oil last night … and was sick for the entire night. 😦

Looks like both of our bodies are responding strongly when we re-introduce poison into our systems.”
Dr. Davis 1
This cool quote from Hippocrates could relate to grains, sugar, non-fermented soy, low-fat stuff and vegetable/seed oils. When you consume these frankenfoods you are doing harm to yourself.

ADHD Reversed, Success Stories

Is ADHD Short for “A Diet Highly Disruptive”?

1 Comment

Graduation from Pembroke College was 30 years ago for me but in many respects it seems like only yesterday.  I still maintain great friendships with Bill Brummitt, Andrew Wallace and Sean Williams among others from that time. One name I never forgot was Cecily Aldersly (now Dunn).

Cecily Dunn class pic

We were mates. In a time of school yard uncertainty her friendship was a constant and I never forgot Cecily despite losing track of each other. On the occasion of our 30 year graduation reunion I decided to track down my young buddy and am so pleased I did.

I’ll let Cecily tell the rest of the story of her whole family becoming healthier and her son Harry no longer having ADHD.:

From Cecily Dunn

“Hi Chad – I know I’ve been quiet but we are all still very Primed – kids are Excellent!

All 3 children are so different from what they were like just 4 months ago.

They all brought home very impressive school reports largely due to the renewed clarity, energy and the evenness in temperament – they can now sit through the most boring double maths/history lesson and not fall asleep/act up/switch off/get sent to time out!!!!

 

Cec3

Harry (11) comes home and immediately does home work – no whinging  for food!!! He was 2 years behind year level and supposedly dyslexic and ADHD, in the last 12 months we have made diet changes but going Primed in the last few months has created a completely new kid. Also he had now lost 10kgs (!!!) has found his schoolwork is easier and has so much energy. He wasn’t obese by any means but he’s a lean, focused and energetic individual these days… they all are!

It is not always about the before and after picture. Yes, it is nice to see the physical changes and maybe even get a 6-pack.

In just 7 days Tess does not have a 6-pack nor even a metabolic six-pack.
But what she now has is a brighter and healthier future. That’s HUGE. Oh, the metabolic six-pack will come soon enough. Especially seeing Tess is letting food be her medicine.
