Prof Tim Noakes

unfortunate turn of phrase that - suffering... for his convictions. I know what you mean, but it can have different connotations.

Thanks Indy, very interesting, I did not realise if we have too much protein it stops ketosis and fat burning and we run on glucose. regards Derek

Thanks for all these posts, @Indy51 , haven't been about much to post, life got in the way, but still watching. Thought I'd add this to this thread, good news I think.

If you want to be even more appalled by the machinations of what the author refers to as the "Industrial-Government-Academic complex", watch this video of Robert F Kennedy Jr (environmental lawyer and activist) discussing mercury:


The system of guidelines is not restricted just to nutrition - in the US (which most of our countries adopt by default) is totally and utterly corrupt. His discussion of the CDC (Center for Disease Control) is every bit as shocking as the stories we hear about the revolving door of big agriculture and pharma through government bodies like the FDA. Truly eye-opening.
 
That is truly shocking! I already believed that pharmaceutical companies were wicked, but I didn't realise the depth of their wickedness!

After that, I'd say the "Industrial-Government-Academic complex" descriptor should be expanded to "Industrial-Government-Academic-Media complex"
 
not for me only six teeth left no fillings.

Problem is you end up getting mercury from manifold sources so have no way to know how much is in your system.

I no longer eat tuna very often. But do salmon lower in Mercury than tuna but still has some.

Interesting post on the Foodmednet blog by Marika Sboros - seems now insurance companies are calling for reform of dietary guidelines:

This is very interesting. It hadn't occurred to me before that a shorter lifespan caused by poor dietary advice would be of such interest to the insurance industry. So much room for litigation and suppression by the pharmaceutical and food lobbies. Perhaps things are changing.
 
Yes, I think Noakes made a smart move getting Old Mutual involved in his low carb conference - it's a way of attacking the monolith from within by stakeholders with their bottom line at risk
 
I'm suspicious of Noakes. In a few tweets today he said Cholesterol doesn't affect women and hardly affects men. I don't know if I believe this as others have showed strong sources saying otherwise.

The ridiculous attempts to discredit Noakes, Fettke and Malhotra don't hold for those of us who can provide anecdotal, and often physical, evidence that LCHF works. AND, I've never eaten so well.

I think this thread is probably as good a place as any to post Dr Kendrick's latest instalment of his series on CVD: https://drmalcolmkendrick.org/2016/12/24/what-causes-heart-disease-part-xxiii/

Thanks so much for all your brilliantly informative posts, @Indy51. I've learned so much from them in the past few months, as a lurker and member.

"... not have been forced to endure fifty years of the damaging, destructive diet-heart/cholesterol hypothesis."

Frightening to think of the ravages one simple decision - to bury perfectly good evidence - has done to society as a whole.

I remember going on the Atkins Diet when he first published his book in Australia, I think in 1972 when I was 20 and, to be kind to my younger self, chubby. I left the skin on chicken and ate meat fat and plenty of butter, lovely. I bought Ketostix and was getting along very well when the government warned, strongly, that ketosis was deadly dangerous and told chemists to stop selling them to anyone who couldn't prove they were diabetic! I fell for it and went to Weight Watchers instead.
