I agree with you about the hfcs. That stuff is in everything that is processed.
Almost certainly. And, unlike real sugar, eating HFCS doesn't seem to stem the craving for sweets at all.
The solution seems to be to eat natural fats and natural sugars (in moderation), and avoid trans-fats and HFCS - which is very hard since those two ingredients are in just about everything that comes pre-packaged.
I'm very sorry to hear that this happened to you and I hope that you have experienced a full and rapid recovery. Although your doctor may well find this study interesting, I hope that you won't be too disappointed if he/she doesn't immediately adopt it as part of his/her practice. Doctors need to follow established medical protocols and would oftentimes place themselves in legal jeopardy if they were to deviate from that. Unfortunately, it usually takes years and years of studies and tests before a new drug or procedure will become accepted as part of medical practice.
I always knew there was a valid reason for my liking those things :-)
That's interesting....are those oils associated with 'fish oil' at all? Just curious :-)
People also tended to die younger , and the reason they could eat anything was A. Everything they ate wasn't loaded with corn syrup, and B.Peoples lifestyles were more physical, which meant they burned off more calories on a regular basis.and C. people actually took time to prepare homemade meals out of fresh ingredients instead of something from a can or vending machine which has much less nutritional value. I believe that all of this has to do with the modern pace of life which is toooo fast!. Hurry, hurry, no time to eat right, but plenty of time to be sick later.

Like the rest of your body, your brain will preferentially metabolize glucose.
But if blood glucose is restricted, it run just fine on b-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, and acetone.
yup.
Thank you! I thought that I remembered that from Biology class :-)
I know. I read the ingredients on every cracker box in the grocery story, and Original Triscuits is the only cracker I found that didn't have those two items. I make a lot of stuff from scratch just to avoid them. Then I find out that the Yoplait yogurt that I put in my husband's lunch has HFCS, so I started making yogurt. But he doesn't like it much compared to Yoplait. One can only do so much!

fat good
protein good
carbohydrates unneeded
It really comes down more to the animal's diet. Most of the mammals you and I eat are fed grains to the near-exclusion of grasses. Cattle that eat grass have the same mix of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids as your typical oceanic fish. The difference that gives us the "fish oils are healthy" idea is that the fish are eating their proper diet, the cattle aren't. Farm-raised fish (fed grain, just like farm-raised cattle) don't have omega 3's in anywhere near the abundance as fish that have grown up eating green plants.
That's very interesting and helpful, thank you very much!
It makes sense.
Hasn't cystic fibrosis also been treated with a high-fat, low carb diet for some time?
We use fat-free potato chips to kill rats, and they are remarkably effective.
You betchum, Red Ryder!
MSG is also particularly bad and is in almost everything prepackaged. It is diguised under a number of different names. Researches found it makes lab animals fat and use it for that purpose.
I forgot about that one. I get migraines from that stuff.
Actually, it can run on ketones just fine. Many people in the Arctic for centuries have lived their whole post-weaning lives on diets with almost no carbs and been just fine.
Me too. I've been eating a high protein, low carb diet now for two years, and I might have had indigestion twice...after going off temporarily and eating tortilla chips.
I believe it.
