"When you deposit fat in the liver, that's when you become insulin-resistant."

"Type 2 diabetes is when you do it to yourself".

By ignoring data from 16 countries, Keys was able to argue that fat caused heart disease. But association or correlation is not causation! As an example, the U.S. had a relatively high fat diet and high rates of heart disease. The Japanese had a very low fat diet and low rates of heart disease. But, after the war, the Japanese also had very low calorie diets, low consumption of sugar and refined food, and a much higher rate of deadly strokes - associations Keys ignored. "Low fat" began on television in 1956 when American Heart Association doctors conducting a fundraiser told a national TV audience to replace traditional American foods - eggs, butter and red meat - with boxed cereal, margarine, vegetable shorting, polyunsaturated corn oil and skinless chicken. Five years later, AHA board member Ancel Keys was famous. He had made the cover of Time (January 13, 1961), and at his urging, the American Heart Association officially adopted his "low fat" high carbohydrate diet. Fellow board member and University of Chicago professor Jeremiah Stamler was a Staunch Keys backer.

What About Adults?

One of the great concerns of those who have reached middle age is, have I deteriorated so much that things are hopeless? As a result of this way of thinking, most people will just eat what they enjoy and live out what life they have left. What many of these people do not consider is that they won't just die after they've finished enjoying themselves: the lucky ones may suddenly die of a heart attack or get hit by a car, yet for most of us, that will not happen. 

I remember walking through a hospital with a doctor friend of mine, a fellow in his middle years, when he suddenly stopped and peered thoughtfully into a ward full of sickly looking elderly people. I stared with him at the elderly patients scattered about the room, with their emaciated legs wrapped in tangles of stained sheets, mouths open in perfect ovals, sunken eyes staring off into some netherworld, unaware of little but their pain and humiliation.
IV bags could be seen dangling from metal poles and catheters coursed from under the stained sheet, attached to bags of cloudy urine, filling the room with a heavy smell of death. The doctor slowly shook his head back and forth, looked up at me with doleful sadness and said, These are the golden years.

You see, most of us will not be spared the pain and suffering of age. Rather than dying that death we all dream-about going peacefully in our sleep-we will instead undergo a series of health crises, such as multiple heart attacks with years of medication and limitations on our activity, maybe even a loss of employment. Or, we may suffer from a stroke that leaves us paralyzed and unable to speak, dependent on others for the simplest things, such as eating or going to the bathroom.

Frequently, we may suffer from slowly progressing arthritis, undefined aches and pains, unexplained weakness, headaches, deteriorating vision, difficulty concentrating, and a memory that fails us more often than not. Still others will be crippled by diabetes or a neurodegenerative disease such as Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's dementia. Unfortunately, all of these so-called disease of aging are now occurring in younger people, not just the elderly. We are seeing Parkinson's disease in forty-year-olds and type II diabetes in teenagers.

This will require discipline. It has been said that the undisciplined life is not worth living. We now know that the undisciplined life will also be short and full of misery.
Dr. Russell Blaylock, M.D. 

The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't like, do what you'd rather not.

Early farmers would also appreciate the sense of physical comfort caused by these grains. Paradoxically, they provide this comfort through our inability to fully digest some parts of the grain. Undigested partial proteins, or peptides, found in gluten cereals have morphine-like properties, becoming potent drugs once they enter the bloodstream. Those who are at greatest risk from these foods often experience something akin to addiction due to the pleasant feelings caused by these exorphins, suggesting an origin for the phrase "comfort Foods."
