I seem to recall you criticising me for not adding that what I wrote was only my opinion..could I return the compliment here.
This guy asks a lot of questions. Do you get the feeling he is ever going to get round to providing his answers? Or do we have to wait till chapter 10+ ? Hopefully this is only the abstract. You did warn us that it was the Intro, but the section title for CH1 seems to suggest it is specific to fat degeneration, but you have not indicated that it has more than just the questions shown in your post.Ch 1: Fatty Degeneration:
The author has a healthy scepticism for the traditional medical GP, alerting us to the inadequacy of nutritional training, with a large emphasis on pharma drugs and nothing about the effects of processing fats and oils on human health.
Healing fats & killing fats:
"what kind of fat is it? How has it been treated? Is it fresh? Has it been exposed to light, oxygen, heat, hydrogen, water, acid, base, copper, iron? How old is it? How has it been used for good prep? How much was eaten? What balance of different fats do we get?"
To get to the root of Fatty Degeneration, he says we must also answer the following questions:
"What are they? How do they work? What do they do in our body? Where do we get them? How does our body use them? How do we process and alter them? Which ones can produce illness? How do we avoid the "killer fats"? Which ones enhance our health? Where do we find and how do we use the fats that heal?
Onto Chapter 2

Am i reading this quote right? Light? That we photosynthesise? That light has to be pure? He's lost me already/ Also is he suggesting we need to partake of hydrochloride acid to function? I always thought this was something our body makes for itself. Anyway HCL is normally referred to as Hydrochloric acid ( or pedantically as hydrogen chloride). Yet again, we may need bile, but that is certainly something we produce, Same for the enzymes, that we synthesize as required. And that just leaves fibre as an external input that we require to apply in that list.Ch 2: "Foundations of Human Health"
Foods make bodies: "the entire human body is made from foods, water, air, and light".
"Food, water, air, and light properly chosen for nutrient content, purity (absence of interfering substances that we call toxins or poisons), biological compatibility (determined by genetic and biochemical weakness) and naturalness, must constitute primary health care. "
He then provides a headline overview of what he describes as the "50 Essential factors" that our bodies need and must come from our environment:
- 20 or 21 minerals - no idea why he has a range
- 8 amino acids - I am sure we now know of 9
- 2 essential fatty acids
- water
- oxygen
- light
Additionally he touches on the need for fibre, hydrochloride acid, bile and digestive enzymes that digest the food we eat.
OK so I've now flicked through....just 89 chapters to go

Why do I get the idea you may be sceptic too? You already know the plot! For me this would be a book I speed read by placing it under my pillow when I sleep, to fully absorb the nuggets withinMy chapter précis are an abstract of each chapter. We'll see where he goes. I am but a few steps ahead of you

During my research into my condition, I read many articles and papers from the BodyBuilding, athletic, and fitness sources. I have to remind myself that they are catering for an entirely different set of requirements than I as a T2 diabetic (PWD) have. The constraints placed on them are quite different than those placed on my treatment. This leads to differing conclusions especially over diet and whats good for me. My IR means that some of these differences could result in harm to me, but are fine for normal fit people doing rigorous exercise.
