Summary of the Advantages of a WFPB Diet

To eat fully consciously connects us to the miracle of all life.

The WHO states the endometriosis is incurable and the cause is unknown. Using references from peer-reviewed medical journals and case studies, I can show that this is not true.

It is caused by an overabundance of oestrogen, in particular estradiol which is the result of a high-fat, high-protein diet as advocated by low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diet advocates such as Dr James Muecke, the 2020 Australian of the Year. Many references are provided on my website.

I have a 150 page, 120000 word website explaining how informed choices relating to the food we consume can result in optimal outcomes for our health, the environment and for the animals that we share the earth.

When I published my book Low-Carbohydrate Mania: Fantasies, Illusions, and Myths, I posted Dr John McDougall a copy to his practice in Santa Rosa, California. We communicated by email for nearly a year. Mostly the correspondence was concerned with the views of William Davis and Robert Lustig. He viewed both with some – let’s say, bewilderment.

Whole-food, plant-based diets without added oils or simple carbohydrates are best for our health, the environment and the animals we share the earth with.

In Order to be Truthful – Michael Leunig

In order to be truthful.

We must do more than speak the truth.

We must also hear the truth.

We must also receive the truth.

We must also act on the truth.

We must also search for the truth.

The difficult truth.

Within and around us.

We must devote ourselves to the truth.

Otherwise we are dishonest

And our lives are mistaken.

Go grant us the stength and the courage

To be truthful.

Amen

Getting Started Reading List

Below is a list of webpages that demonstrates the validity of a whole-food, plant-based diet (with NO added oils) in mitigating the risk of premature deaths in our society and possibily reversing these diseases.

Our addiction to testosterone and dopamine fuelled behaviour tempts us to live life on the edge without regard for possible long-term consequences to our health, to society, our relationships, the animals that we share the planet and to the environment.

A Guide to Optimal Well-being

The great news is that the cause of breast and prostate cancers are already known along with heart disease, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and other "diseases of affluence".

Professor Michael Brown, the Nobel prize winner in 1985 stated, “It turns out to be a lot easier to do the science than to change people’s behaviour“. He stated that we do not need any more research, drugs or stem cells and that we can solve the majority of our “diseases of affluence right now“.

I have a poster at my local Organic Store. Several people have approached me and told me that they life has changed remarkably (for the better) after changing their diet as a result of reading my material. Two were really, really angry - wanting to know why their expensive and ineffectual medical specialists were unable to have any impact on their health when they were able to make profound changes in a very short period of time based only on what they ate.

Imagine the impact on our society if this information was readily available. It could be Walkley Award material for a dedicated and inquistive journalist as well as being one of the major achievements of the life of political leaders.

Over-exploitation of Ocean’s Resources

Of the straddling stocks nearly two-thirds of the stocks (64 per cent) are classified as over-exploited, depleted or recovering, 23 per cent are fully exploited, 12 per cent are moderately exploited.

Straddling stocks are stocks of fish which migrate between the economic exclusive zone of one or more regions and the high seas. These are highly migratory fish stocks.

80% per cent of the world’s fish stocks are reported as fully exploited or over-exploited.

Fishing subsidies greatly distort the fisheries market.

Global fisheries subsidies were estimated to be US$35 billion. The total revenue from the industry is US$90 billion.

Harmful subsidies constituted US$20 billion each year consisting of fuel subsidies, management, port and harbour tax relief and equipment modernisation. So US$20 billion each year are subsidising an industry to catch more fish that are over-exploited.

Dan Repacholi – Health Advocate

Ketogenic and low-carbohydrate diet advocates have been having a much greater impact on our diet and our health in the recent decades.. Book sales are higher, website visits are much more frequent.

Our health indicators have become progressively worse. The prevalence of many cancers have continued to rise. The mortality rate for all cases of cancer has risen for females. It has decreased for males because of the reduction in lung cancer.

Breast cancer, a sex-hormone related cancer with a high prevalence rate, continues to rise.

Pancreatic cancer, has a lower prevalence rate but has a high mortality rate, continues to rise unabated.

Whilst a substantial reduction in cervical cancer occurred between 1992-2002, there has been no reduction in the following two decades.

In 2018, 36% of Australians aged 18 and over are overweight (BMI of 25 to up to 30) and 31% of the population are obese (BMI 30 or more).

34% of adult Australians have hypertension (greater than 140/90 or taking medication). According to the Framingham Risk Assessment calculator, a systolic value of less than 120 mmHg is ideal.

Autoimmune diseases are a pernicious group of diseases where the immune system produces antibodies that destroy the body’s cells. There are 80-100 autoimmune diseases that have been identified.

Autoimmune diseases cumulatively affect 5-10% of the industrial world population and are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality.

World-wide, the incidence of autoimmune diseases is increasing at the rate of 19% each and every year.

5.3% of Australian adults aged 18 and over had type 2 diabetes in 2017–18. Diabetes is the fastest growing chronic condition in Australia, increasing at a faster rate than other chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer.

Almost 1.9 million Australians have diabetes. On average, one in three of these people have some level of diabetic retinopathy.

Dementia is a syndrome in which there is deterioration in memory, thinking, behaviour and the ability to perform everyday activities. It is not a normal part of aging. 50 million people world-wide have dementia with nearly 10 million new cases every year. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia contributing 60–70% of cases.

In 2016, the global number of individuals who lived with dementia was 43·8 million which increased from 20.2 million in 1990. This represented an increase of 117% in 16 years. Dementia was the fifth leading cause of death globally accounting for 2·4 million deaths. This could be attributed to modifiable risk factors of high BMI, high fasting plasma glucose, smoking, and a high intake of sugar-sweetened beverages.

In the US, in 2010, the rate of autism at age 8 was 14.7 per 1,000 which is 1 in 68. Boys are 4.5 times more likely to be affected than girls.

This rate continues to increase. As at 2020, about 1 in 36 children has been identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) according to estimates from CDC’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network. About 1 in 6 (17%) children aged 3–17 years were diagnosed with a developmental disability.

That is the bad news. The good news is much of these illnesses can be prevented and even reversed with the consumption of a whole-food, plant-based diet with NO added oils (or salt). Coconut oil, olive oil or mayonnaise are not healthy and are most assuredly NOT associated with a natural diet of humans (or chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas and orangutans).
