Back in June 2012 I wrote an article titled: "How Dangerous is Your Doctor?" In it I quoted some mainstream sources, something I rarely do. Usually I refer to scientists and their studies. But in this case, the mainstream sources seemed even more relevant because they usually do not rock the boat when it comes to popular nutritional guidelines and health care procedures. It's especially true regarding the American Association of Retired Persons ( AARP ). For instance here is a quote from that article.
I'll quote the July/August 2011 issue of AARP Magazine, page 22. "The following four operations are over performed for a variety of reasons: Some are moneymakers for hospitals and doctors, others are expedient, and still others seem to work, at least in the short term. But evidence shows that all have questionable long-term outcomes for treating certain conditions, and some may even

Is grain good for cattle? Have you ever wondered? Or do cattlemen feed grain because others feed grain and the cattle seem to grow quite well? Of course, there's that mantra everyone hears that grain-fed cattle make better-tasting beef. And another mantra Agricultural Extension beats the drum over is that cattle with high quantities of intramuscular fat are going to be more tender, better tasting, and more profitable.

So let's ask the question again. Is grain good for cattle? In her book, The Omega Diet, Artemis P. Simopoulos, M.D., delivers a compelling message about why Americans need to rethink their diet. In making her points she quotes data derived from...

Am I too fanatical about the food I eat? Not only have I been asked that many times, but I've been told my fanaticism is detrimental to my well-being. Is it?
In my younger years I was a typical go-go guy. I engaged in many sports and there were times I exercised like my life depended on it. My diet was as reckless as my activities: work, social, and athletic. Snow skiing, playing football, horseback riding, and acting out with gymnastic stunts were among the more physically abusive of my many sports. Numerous social events – too little sleep and too much to drink were part "of the job." My work was intensive with long hours, high stress, and I was on deck every day of the year. Work was interspersed with attending conventions which always meant bad food, even less sleep, and more alcohol. Vacations were not a part of my life.
Yes, in my twenties I was bulletproof (I thought) and maintained that intense working lifestyle into my fifties – when I started hitting the wall. Fortunately for me, about the time I was hitting the wall I started learning about the science of human nutrition and had commenced to eat and market grass-fed beef. As my diet changed, my health pulled out of its nosedive and improved rather dramatically. I bounced off the wall!
