The Oiling of America by Mary Enig, PhD, and Sally Fallon In 1954 a young researcher from Russia named David Kritchevsky published a paper describing the effects of feeding cholesterol to rabbits.1 Cholesterol added to vegetarian rabbit chow caused the formation of atheromas—plaques that block arteries and contribute to heart disease. Cholesterol is a heavy weight molecule—an alcohol or a sterol—found only in animal foods such as meat, fish, cheese, eggs and butter.

Diabetes is a curable disease. As a dietary disease, it demands a dietary treatment. The principles are outlined here.

Is dietary fat bad for us? How did we become so fat phobic and what are the implications for health? Saturated fat phobia and toxic vegetable oils.

How are diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, obesity and cancer linked to our diet? Understanding this association leads to fascinating new treatment possibilities.

How does sugar, fructose and wheat contribute to obesity and diabetes? Insulin resistance and hyper-insulinemia and 'the fast solution' is presented.

The failure of the Atkins diet, hormonal obesity theory and the importance of the cortisol pathway. Why it is so difficult to receive unbiased advice on nutrition?

What is the role of insulin resistance and meal timing? Also how hormonal obesity theory explains the epidemiology of obesity including childhood obesity.
