More people started becoming obese when their daily physical output could not match or out pace their consumption. If you double the amount you eat and double the calories in that food and cut your physical work by half to three quarters you might ‘magically’ discover you are obese.

L-carnitine is the concern of heart disease in high quantity meat diets. The fat on meat is still not determined with this.

Hfcs IS more detrimental than sugar–which is in itself toxic waste–in that it has an unnatural concentration of fructose. I must admit that if our livers were not overworked from filtering out all the man-made chemicals in our diets, then they might be able to filter the occasional dose of hfcs, but they are so exposed to other toxic waste that there is no capacity left to do what God designed them to do. Do remember that table sugar is nothing but empty carbs and floods the system with calories that have absolutely no nutritional value, so it is only marginally better than hfcs. We need to return to the diet that God designed our bodies to ingest. That being said, it is extremely hard to correct a lifetime of bad eating habits. The food industry loves carbs–they are cheap and they are addictive–kind of like cigarettes with added nicotine to keep you hooked.

I just go done reading the top 10 annoyingly stubborn food myths for 2012. It was informative and well researched. I find so many of the comments to be “strain the gnat and swallow the came.” When you have as long as I have, you take all the current nutritional info with a grain of salt. Just wait a few years, and they will find the downside of all this info. Remember when eggs were of the devil? Eat food and drink in moderation. You’ll be fine. Our ancestors knew that — along with hard work. Quit overthinking.

All of this dialogue simply proves that you can find a study to ‘validate’ whatever opinion you choose to support.
Moderation, folks.
Thanks for the interesting, if not entirely provable, content.

Um, PR, I think you’re mistaken to say that a little exercise means you can eat whatever you want. Maybe it works for you, but in my case, that was absolutely not true.

I started getting serious about health and exercise a few years ago, and after working out 6 days a week (intense cardio and circuit training, including 6 months of P90X) for a year without changing my diet, I had toned up and lost some weight, but was still not seeing great results with classic female problem areas: buns, thighs and the last 5 lbs to my target weight. Then I changed my eating habits, and everything improved.

I find I can exercise for half the time I used to with the same results if I eat a healthy diet.

It is true that because I work out, I can “cheat” on nutrition occasionally without major consequence. Well, other than heartburn!

Here is the only research I can vouch for that I know is 100% true. I eat tons of red meat and drink soda all day at work. In addition to a wife and 2 small children I find a way to EXERCISE at least 1-2 hours a day. My doctor told me in 37yrs of medicine I’m the healthiest person hes ever seen, strong heart and a clean colon (Im currently 30 and have a family hisory of related cancer). Long story short… a bit of exercise will let ya eat whatever junk ya want to and not become a fat slob who blames everyone else for their lack of activity.
