Agriculture and Industry killing us

Never trust the MSM on any scientific article and also question the article in question. Just because it was published does not
mean it is making valid conclusions and has a proper methodology.

We are living in a sea of garbage.

This is a very interesting article about about why you don't hear about low cost remedies in the US.  It shows just how corrupt the collusion of Big Pharma and the FDA are.  It also show how deeply entrenched the oligarchy is in the US in regards to buying off Congress.

This is a good article about Scientific America:

There is a cure for Type II diabetes before there is full failure of the pancreas and irreversible kidney damage: zero sugar and very low carb diet. This works at
the level of the mechanism causing the diabetes. All the pharmaceuticals that "treat" diabetes are a stupid joke. No drug can eliminate the impact of glucose
on cell function and protein damage. The only solution is to dial down the glucose intake.

If you listen to all the mainstream diet advice it is garbage. There is endless yapping about calories in equals calories out (CICO) and zero reference to insulin. CICO
does not bypass the function of insulin. If you lower your caloric intake to dangerously small levels but eat all day long, your insulin will always be elevated (except
in the second half of your sleep period) and you will be unable to burn fat. Instead your metabolism will downregulate because the body thinks it is starving. Eating
a carnivore diet while ignoring CICO results in large weight loss for thousands of people. If you are very insulin resistant (e.g. pre-diabetic), then some consideration
for CICO can help. So alternate day fasting or one-meal a day can achieve weight loss and help reverse the insulin resistance.

Intermittent fasting is under a propaganda attack. This is because it is extremely potent at dealing with metabolic syndrome (heart disease, diabetes,
Alzheimer's, etc.). More potent than any pharmaceutical which never addresses the underlying problem: the over-consumption of glucose, fructose and
omega-6 fatty acids.

The word "study" is being abused. All sorts of garbage is being called "study" as if it fits the same standard as genuine studies. The MSM lie factory
cites this garbage as "evidence".

Another good video about the attack on intermittent fasting.

Note how the US Heart Association is a corrupt entity and its spew gets picked by the fake stream mass media.

I was talking about it a couple of weeks ago with a {German) colleague, who was actually quite informed on the matter. She mentioned to me also other benefits of longer fasting (of course not done continuously, but overeating is also a problem). Apparently there was an old soviet study in which several patients with serious psychiatric problem got their mental condition improved after a few days fasting.

I would like now to try to do intermittent fasting (from Dinner to dinner the day after) a couple of times per week. Maybe in the future I will try again occasionally longer fasting.

Concerning sugar, yes it is not healthy but I believe that occasionally everything is ok.

In the past in Italy as an example the Sunday meal was really full of calories, fat and and home made sweets.
Was this a problem? No, because Sunday comes once a week and occasional exceptions is also good for mood and other issues.

Furthermore it used to be delicious homemade food after one week of low calories eating.
Now people believe they can "feast" every day.

Furthermore instead of having good quality home made meal most people are having industrially produced and processed food.

I am not a zealot in terms of food composition. Sporadically I make a pizza and eat some sweets. But this is not even once a week and
can be months in between. If I eat carbs, then I do not mix them with fat and protein (except rare events such as pizza or pasta and
sauce). So no meat and potatoes for me as a normal meal. This is because of the Randle cycle where cells cannot metabolize glucose
(carbs) and fatty acids at the same time. It contributes to insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is a foundation pillar of metabolic
syndrome.

Processed food has to be avoided absolutely. It is full of actual toxins and is also nutrient depleted to give it longer shelf life. There is
zero reason to eat this industrial shit. Naturally, processed deli meats are not on this list.

I deleted my visceral fat with alternate day fasting (36 hours no food out of every 48 hours). Fasting is the only way for me to lose
weight instead of maintaining it since I am very insulin resistant. I was on my way to Type II diabetes before getting enlightened.
I used to believe the BS that "starving" is bad since it is a type of yoyo dieting. No, low calorie regular eating is what gives you a yoyo.
Since insulin is always elevated (any amount of food in your mouth triggers insulin release and if you are resistant it stays elevated for
hours) the body cannot burn any stored fat. This results in a down-regulation of the metabolic rate because the body experiences real
energy starvation. Calories in equals calories out (CICO) is BS. The body is not a bomb calorimeter where simple thermodynamics can
be invoked. The "combustion" of these "calories" is regulated by hormones.

Intermittent fasting is the best way to reduce total calorie intake without triggering any metablic rate slow-down. The trick is to allow
insulin to settle down to baseline. A combination of low carb diet and intermittent fasting is very potent.

I would say the important thing is to not ruin it with sugary drinks... just drink water while fasting.

And when you do eat try to make it healthy too.

Giving yourself a treat should be over a greater timescale than a week or two.

When I did intermittent fasting I used only to drink water, coffee (without milk and sugar) and herbal tea.

I need to do it more often now.

I do not like in general sugary drinks, but I tend to like too much homemade sweets.

I tend to mix carbs, fat and proteins (like pasta with meat ragu and cheese), but at least I use "bio" meat and veggies and I cook it myself.

I will try between tonight and Saturday morning a 32 hours fasting. Let see if can cope with it.

By the way, I was discussing about it this morning about it in the butcher shop. It is interesting to notice that there are always more people aware about intermittent fasting.
Of course longer fasting should be done only after consulting a doctor, especially if someone has medical issues, but I believe that the campaign against fasting now does not make much sense.

You can solve your sugar cravings conundrum by substituting with erythritol. This a natural sugar polyol found Monk fruit. Our bodies
actually produce a small amount. This is not an "artificial sweetener". Aspartame is a toxin since it decomposes at 25 Celsius into
precursors of formic acid which is a carcinogen. Erythritol is essentially inert and is not digested by gut bacteria with potential
secondary effects. It is almost 1:1 with sugar in terms of taste intensity but not quite. It does taste very much like sugar and is
not an approximation which may not be appealing to all people.

The only issue with this polyol and other ones like xylitol and sorbitol is that it does not "glycate" proteins so when you cook cookies or
similar it does not cause the same browning and texture as sucrose. But who cares. Use real sugar on occasion.

Once again, the medical system is a joke. Not identifying a critical problem in many diseases and throwing hack "fixes" at it instead.

I never felt healthy like my days in Ramadan where i do fast from dawn until sunset.

My whole day is systemized , my stomach is relieved and taking my meals in a very specific timing.

I even hit the gym after my first meal after sunset .

It's well know between doctors that fasting is associated with ameliorated inflammatory markers and improved plasma sphingolipids and reducing LDL levels .

The presenter is a real medical researcher and has extensive peer reviewed publications. Your family doctor does not have such qualifications.
The "dietician" clowns trotted out by the mass media to wash your brain are utter clowns by comparison.

Bill Gates trying to screw your health for fun and profit.

If we get zero LDL we will face health issues and we could even die .

Regarding atherosclerosis and heart diseases i used to listen to Sir Magdi Yacoub who is brilliant .

Just keep things like triglyceride and LDL in healthy range , of course in modern lifestyle there are tons of these things on the streets and that's why most of people have it in high levels , so the medical advice here for them is to lower their intake and practice some workout to lower their chance with heart diseases .

If someone is a pro-inflammatory person who then has a high LDL, then he has doubled the risk .

The LDL vs. mortality risk curves found by massive studies around the world all have the same shape.   A "U" with the left "fork" increasing
sharply as LDL levels become small, and a right "fork" that increases slowly.   The lowest risk is around levels of 150 (in units used in the US, in
other countries, like Canada, the units are different).   So the risk at LDL levels of 300 is much smaller than at LDL levels of 50.   The US
dominated medical "wisdom" has set the "ideal" level at 70 and is now trying to push it to 50.   This is lunacy.

The only issue with LDL is oxidation.  Full stop.   Dialing down LDL is not a cure if nothing is done about oxidation.   Oxidation starts with
glycation in a multi-stage organic chemistry process.   Glycation results in covalent chemical bonds and irreversible protein damage.   Blood glucose
levels in people on "normal" high carb diets are higher than they should be even if the pancreas is producing enough insulin.   The spikes in blood
glucose are very large since insulin does not act instantly.   These glucose spikes and the resulting protein damage are what drive low level
inflammation as the lymphatic systems (innate immune system in particular) is always trying to clean up this damage.   Damaged proteins are
typically recognized as antigens even if they originate from our own bodies.

Exercise is always a good thing but it can't fix a bad diet.   The damage from glucose and fructose is mitigated because these caustic agents
are burned faster (the muscles at the back of your lower leg below the knee are very effective at burning glucose and you can reduce your
levels even sitting down by exercising them).   But the damage is still there.  

Stay away from statins completely.   These are voodoo nonsense pharmaceuticals that contribute to cancer (one of the first variants produced in
Japan during the 1980s resulted in the dogs used for testing dying from cancer) and do not address the problem: oxidized LDL.  Suppressing
coenzyme Q10 has nothing to do with oxidation of LDL.   Cholesterol does not get oxidized.   co-Q10 is involved in slew of other chemical process
in the metabolism and suppressing cholesterol via this method is like shooting at sparrows with a cannon.  

The link I posted above with the talk by Paul Mason is a demonstration that atherosclerotic plaques are not just oxidized LDL related.   They are
a general clotting process involving multiple response mechanisms including platelet cells and result from physical and chemical damage of arterial
walls.   Plaques form preferentially in arteries where pressure maximizes.   Plaques never form in veins.

You will own nothing, eat shit and be happy.

The authorities care about you. Really.

Insulin resistance is the prime predictor of heart disease. Not LDL.

Melanoma is not caused by sunlight exposure. It is just another cancer from bad modern diets, pollution exposure and lack of exercise
(which is best done outdoors to get badly needed sunlight exposure).

This case is relevant here because the system does not punish criminals that peddle products to you that ruin your health. The
snake oil pushers of the early 1900s have not gone away, they are just pushing products that are not so obviously bad.

This case is also an example of why the market true faithful are idiots. An ideal market involves ideally informed consumers and
honest sellers. In the real world you have not such constraint. So lots of activity in the precious free market is a form of abuse
and waste. Perhaps the market believers think this is fine. May they experience the weight of their ideology on their own hides.

Since the regulators are corrupted by the snake oil pushers, you have to inform yourself. For now the internet is still not fully censored
and you may be able to look at research articles at a local university or other library. This is not an unreasonable requirement. There
is an obvious divergence between the medical research and what is peddled to the masses by the mass media and their governments.
Governments whore for the money makers in the private sector. Don't expect them to look out for you. The more things change,
the more they stay the same.

If your doctor tries to scare you with high total LDL numbers, tell him to pound sand.
