• The Myth of Good and Bad Cholesterol

  According to William Roberts, the long-serving editor or the Journal of Cardiology, the only direct atherosclerotic risk factor is high cholesterol. The goal for total cholesterol level is < 150 mg/dL [3.9 mmol/L] and for LDL cholesterol it is < 70 mg/dL [1.8 mmol/L].

  Atherosclerosis is not a disease of carnivores, and it is not possible to produce atherosclerosis in carnivores [dogs, cats, tigers, lions, etc.].

  We are not natural carnivores. We evolved to eat plants, fruits, and starches!

  It is generally accepted that HDL Cholesterol absorbs cholesterol in the blood and carries it back to the liver where if is then flushed it from the body. High levels of HDL cholesterol can lower your risk for heart disease and stroke.

  However, excess cholesterol can only occur in herbivores AND ALL animals have HDL Cholesterol. The purpose of HDL Cholesterol is NOT to flush the excess from the blood.

• Kidney Disease and Diet

  2½ millennia ago, Plato wrote about the foolishness of eating animals. 500 years later Plutach wrote about the immorality of killing and eating animals who are entitled to life as much as we are.

  Many people at the Mater Hospital where I am receiving treatment for multiple myeloma are not only dealing with their blood cancers but trauma of kidney, heart disease and type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Lots of great information about heart attacks and both forms of diabetes on my website.

  The treatment greatly magnifies the severity of their problems.

  Kidney disease ranks 9th in the cause of death in Australia.

  Despite the nasty nature of my multiple myeloma disease, my kidney and heart functions are really good.

  There is a really strong correlation between pork consumption and kidney disease. The method of cooking has a big impact due to the increase in serum creatinine with BBQ pig being the worst.

  Then there is the additional problem with the appalling method that we raise pigs in confined cages that are stacked three deep. Pigs cannot move or lie down. Their faeces and urine are deposited onto the pigs below through slatted floor boards. They live in a noxious atmosphere of ammonia and hydrogen sulphide.

• The Traditional Diet of Inuit (or Eskimo) Peoples

  The traditional diet of the Inuit people was first examined comprehensively by Vilhjalmur Stefansson in 1906. He visited the Copper Inuits during a number of expeditions. Their diet was virtually plant-free, dominated by seal and caribou meat, supplemented by large salmon-like fish and occasional whale meat. However, Stefansson found that cooking was the nightly norm.

• Where do You Get Your Protein

  “Where do you get your protein?” (or iron of calcium) is a frequent question for those on a vegan diet. Well, the same place as gorillas, elephants, the grumpy extinct aurochs, brontosaurus and Argentinosaurus- the largest ever land animal weighing more than 15 elephants. From eating plants.

  Milks are complex lipid emulsions in water containing protein, fat, lactose, vitamins and minerals, as well as enzymes, hormones and immunoglobulins which provide initial immunity functions.

  There is approximately 5,500 species of mammals which initially supply their young with milk. There are vast differences in milk composition among the mammal species. Of all the mammals, humans have the lowest protein content.

  Mammals have evolved over millions of years to provide nutrition for their infants in the first stage of life. There are significant difference between species depending upon factors such as rates of growth.

  Proteins in human milk provide sufficient of protein to sustain infants for the first six months without any additional food, as well as supplying the means of establishing suitable environment for the growth of healthy intestinal bacteria and providing the proteins involved in the immune system.

  Human milk is supplied to babies when the need for protein is at the greatest. Babies double in size during the first 6 months of our lives. The ideal food for a baby is mum’s milk where 5% – 6.5% is protein. This should offer reassurance that as long as we a consuming an adequate diet, we do not need a high protein diet.
