Impact of Corporate Funding

Given our distrust of authorities, we want to hear that we have been deceived by the medical establishment into believing that their advice on fats and saturated fats is based on myths.

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans are revised jointly by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services every 5 years. Originally, the USDA was responsible. The US Department of Agriculture represents the interests of the agricultural industry.

In 2002, dietary guidelines report emphasised that total dietary protein as high as 35% of total diet calories would “minimise risk for those chronic diseases”. This was not based on scientific evidence.

A lawsuit forced the committee to reveal that the majority of its members at the time had an association with the dairy industry.

Dr James Muecke Australian of the Year in 2020

Dr. James Muecke is the Australian of the Year in 2020 which was awarded for his work as an eye- surgeon and his work in preventing blindness.

He is trying to convince Australians to eat more meat, eggs and dairy. Australia is ranked number 2 in meat consumption, just behind United States but in front of Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and New Zealand.

Dr. Muecke has declared that we need to “Declare war on type 2 diabetes and cut back on sugar” in order to reduce the incidence of blindness.

He believes that it is the introduction of sugary drinks and highly processed foods are the cause of diabetes – not a high-fat, high-protein diet as shown by numerous papers dating back to 1927.

Information About Breast, Endometrium and Ovarian Cancers

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of papers in peer-reviewed medical journals dating back to the mid 1980s relating to the causes and preventative of breast, cervical, ovarian, endometrial and corpus uterine cancers. Unfortunately, this information is generally not read by medical practitioners, specialists or health support organisations.

For example, a 1982 paper (more than 4 decades ago) states that "the concept that hormones can cause human cancer, is most developed for the four hormone-related cancers which are breast, prostate, endometrium, and ovary".

Pink Day Blues

In 1985, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October) was created by the American Cancer Society. Funding was provided by Zeneca (later AstraZenca) , a British pharmaceutical company. AstraZenca is still (as at 2018) associated with Breast Cancer Awareness Month. AstraZenca produces Tamoxifen. Tamoxifen is an estrogen antagonist or anti-estrogen drug which works by blocking the effects of estrogen.

Pink Day is one day in October which is designated to create awareness of breast cancer and to raise money for research.

Lifetime exposure to estrogen is 2.5-3 times higher in Western women than rural Chinese women in the 1980s. China women reach menarche later, menopause earlier and have reduced levels of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone during their reproductive years.

There is much evidence that increased levels of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are associated with a significant increase in breast cancer as well as evidence that low-fat, high carbohydrate diet reduces the level of these hormones.
