W hat Did Our Ancestors Really Eat? Nearly 70% of Americans 20 years of age and older are overweight, with over 35% being clinically obese (1). The need for wellness education has never been greater. But while weight loss and physical health are some of the most popular topics of modern media, we have never been further from good health. Fad diets come and go and accurate information can be hard to find. Better health and the prevention of disease is what most diets aim for but many do not have the full picture. To achieve a balanced diet, complete with the power to fight off chronic disease and burn off excess fat (i.e. weight loss), a closer look at our genetic make-up and the diet of our ancestors must be considered. A Closer Look into Ancestral Nutrition Going back about 2 million years, you’ll find our first known ancestors, who lived in what is now termed the Paleolithic Era. This period of time ran until about 12,000 years ago, when rudimentary agricultural met

Following a ketogenic diet is the most effective way to enter ketosis. Generally, this involves limiting carb consumption to around 20 to 50 grams per day and filling up on fats, such as meat, fish, eggs, nuts, and healthy oils ( 6 ). It's also important to moderate your protein consumption.

I n 954 the tobacco industry paid to publish the “Frank Statement to Cigarette Smokers” in hundreds of U.S. newspapers. It stated that the public's health was the industry's concern above all others and promised a variety of good-faith changes. What followed were decades of deceit and actions that cost millions of lives. In the hope that the food history will be written differently, this article both highlights important lessons that can be learned from the tobacco experience and recommends actions for the food industry. Methods: A review and analysis of empirical and historical evidence pertaining to tobacco and food industry practices, messages, and strategies to influence public opinion, legislation and regulation, litigation, and the conduct of science. Findings: The tobacco industry had a playbook, a script, that emphasized personal responsibility, paying scientists who delivered research that instilled doubt, criticizing the “junk” science that found harms assoc

You are here: ProLongevity > Blog > Big Food and Big Pharma are Murdering Millions and getting away with it Our founder, Graham Phillips, is a pharmacist of 35+ years! As a pharmacist you must abide by the ‘first do no harm’ principle. Yet many prescribed drugs have precisely the opposite effect. Put simply they do more harm than good. The nation itself (and many health professionals) has become convinced of the “pill for every ill” approach with zero regard to nutrition, sleep, or exercise yet these three things (if got right) would prevent or reverse most diseases and without medication. Graham became aware of this and seized the opportunity to create ProLongevity, the award-winning Lifelong Health Programme backed by science, tailored to your unique biology. In his many podcasts with industry leaders such as Aseem Malhotra, Ivor Cummins, Malcolm Kendrick, Robert Lustig and many more, Graham has covered the unacceptable behaviour Big Pharma and Big Food, but we’ve nev

Take a look at the contents of a Big Mac As a follow-up to my article on McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets, I thought I would take a look at the contents of a Big Mac . In the interests of being fair and balanced, I will acknowledge that the chemicals examined below are likely to be in very minute amounts, below maximum limits set for human consumption by government safety watchdogs like the FDA. However, it is my position that there is no valid reason to eat chemicals that have absolutely no nutritional value, in any amount. And, if you’ve been paying any attention at all to the “fracking” debacle popularized by the movie “Gasland,” you might have a good idea of just how competent government agencies are at protecting you from dangerous chemicals and greedy industry. According to McDonald’s corporate website, Big Macs contain the following: 100% Beef Patty: 100% pure USDA inspected beef; no fillers, no extenders. Prepared with grill seasoning (salt, black pepper). Big Mac Bun:

Have you ever seen a dog or cat nibble grass from the lawn? Many household pets, as well as birds, bees, lizards, elephants, and chimpanzees in the wild, sometimes eat things that cure their illnesses, heal their injuries, prevent diseases, kill parasites, or aid digestion. This process of animals healing themselves is called zoopharmacognosy. This long word comes from three Greek words: zoo (meaning animals) + pharma (drug) + cognosy (knowledge). Animals are nature’s pharmacists. Apes rub their fur with millipedes that contain insect-killing chemicals to keep insects away. Some birds do the same thing but use ants instead. Chimpanzees and their cousins, bonobos, swallow certain leaves whole to kill off worms and other parasites in their stomachs. Some chimps rub crushed insects on their own wounds, as well as those of their friends and family, to speed up wound healing. African elephants chew the bark of the fever tree to help ease arthritis pain. How do scientists know that

If you have any of the following d iabetes symptoms , see your doctor about getting your blood sugar tested: Urinate (pee) a lot, often at night. Are very thirsty. Lose weight without trying. Are very hungry. Have blurry vision. Have numb or tingling hands or feet. Feel very tired. Have very dry skin. Research shows that people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes have a higher risk of getting Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia later in life. Scientists think there are a few ways that problems with blood sugar control can lead to problems with your memory and thinking. Insulin Resistance When your cells don't use insulin the way they should, that affects the mechanics of your brain. Your cells don't get the fuel they need, so your brain can't work right. Your blood sugar goes up, and over time, that can cause harmful fatty deposits in your blood vessels. Too much insulin can throw off the balance of chemicals in yo

Customers have hit out at McDonald's after it was revealed the chain's so-called '$5 meal deal' is priced as high as $13 in some locations. The fast food chain launched its new summer offer on Tuesday but customers were quick to note that all was not as it seems with the cost. The $5 deal - including either a McChicken or McDouble, four-piece chicken nuggets, fries and a drink - was introduced to offer 'meaningful value' to customers.

What do diabetes and dementia have in common? Studies have shown that type 2 diabetes can be a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia and other types of dementia. This is because the same cardiovascular problems that increase the risk of type 2 diabetes also increase the risk dementia.

Behind the Big Food Curtain: How Big Food Uses Science, Manipulation of Children, and Exploitation of the Poor to Maximize Profit With No Regard for Public Health Cormac Nolan January 2, 2021 3:17 am To show the contrast between what Big Food forces us into and the health we can achieve 95,000,000,000,000. Ninety-five trillion is an incomprehensible number. Yet, this is the estimated cost of chronic disease on our economy over the next thirty-five years (Hyman, 11). What’s more, eleven million people die from a bad diet every year and sixty percent of our diets come from processed foods (Hyman, 12). Strikingly, for every ten percent increase in processed food consumption your risk of mortality rises fourteen percent (Schnabel, et al.). These dire statistics also affect children as one in four teenagers now suffer from diabetes or pre-diabetes (Schmidt, 7:54) while the younger generation’s future is in danger due to the inability to learn on a diet of processed food served in

This artist's impression shows a food garden in the Auckland region. Its crops include taro at lower right and hue (bottle gourds) at lower left. The larger plots contain kūmara (sweet potato) plants. The plots are kept free of weeds, and protected by stone walls and wooden fences. Women harvest the hue and the smaller kūmara for making kao (dried kūmara).   The rich volcanic soil in the Auckland district supported extensive areas of garden from the 15th century. Scattered stones at Ōtuataua, near Auckland International Airport, once formed walls around garden plots. These paenga-maru (sheltering and dividing walls) were up to one metre high. They marked off the kūmara cultivations, owned and worked by different whānau and hapū groups. The existing stone wall on the left was built in the mid-19th century by European farmers.     Aruhe, the rhizome of the bracken fern, needed careful crushing before it became edible. This was a constant activity in many Māori communitie

Remember when salt was the “new tobacco”? Well, it seems that pretzel makers and other sodium peddlers can now rest easier, because that label, perhaps the least coveted in the food and beverage industry, has been inherited by sugar. Some health advocates say companies that sell food and drinks loaded with sugar have been misleading the public about the health impacts of their products. And if the lawsuit recently filed against The Coca-Cola Company and the American Beverage Association (ABA) is any indication, companies that trade in sugary goods would be wise to beef up their in-house counsel. Their future, much like Big Tobacco’s recent past, may be riddled with court battles. “All indications are that pressure will increasingly mount on the manufacturers of sugar-sweetened beverages by way of litigation, tax measures and health warning obligations,” said Maia Kats, director of litigation for the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), a health advocacy group based in Was

   1909 "DEATH  SERVES T THE SODA FOUNTAIN"       In recent years, the consumption of energy drinks by young adults and athletes has risen significantly, but concerns have been raised about the potential health risks associated with excessive consumption. These concerns include cardiovascular problems, nervous system disorders, and the potential for addiction. This review aims to examine the reported effects of acute or chronic abuse of energy drinks on human health. The analysis shows a significant prevalence of adverse effects, particularly on the cardiovascular and neurovegetative systems. In particular, the analysis identified nine cases of cardiac arrest, three of which were fatal. The aetiology of these adverse effects is attributed to the inherent neurostimulant properties of these beverages, of which caffeine is the predominant component. A comparison of documented effects in humans with experimental studies in animal models showed an overlap in results
