The bottom line to this stuff is that our livers are too efficient. However, the solution is not to starve or exhaust ourselves, but to add supplements to our diet that limit how our livers work.
For example, both diet and genetics create an overabundance of cholesterol in many Americans. Even if you eliminated cholesterol from your diet completely, and consumed lots of unpleasant foods known to reduce cholesterol, and exercised a lot, you would STILL have high cholesterol, if you had a genetic preponderance to it.
Well, like ‘em or not, we now have statin drugs that will block the enzymes your liver uses to make cholesterol. The problem solved with a little pill, instead of all sorts of masochistic and self-abusive behavior and self-denial.
Other drugs are in the research pipeline, to take care of other problems. Cirrhosis is caused by a protein that makes too much fibrin, that scars the liver. But now YET ANOTHER PILL may be available that will block this protein, so your liver stop producing excess fibrin, and heals itself.
Yet another drug is a type of fat that might someday be eaten as a supplement. It fools your body into thinking you have been exercising, and tells it, it needs to convert fat to muscle. It even fools the muscles into toning themselves a bit.
But all of this has in common: You don’t *have* to do with less. You don’t *have* to suffer and starve yourself. And you don’t *have* to exhaust yourself with exercise.
The funny part is even if you don’t have a problem, they would still want you to starve, exhaust yourself, suffer, and eat cruddy tasting food. Why? Because they hate seeing others have pleasure. Pleasure bad. Pain and denial good.
Details, please?
Cheers!
