“Hello all,

I have been eating the natural human dietary regime for over 47 years now. I do not eat anything whatsoever from vegetable sources. The only things veggie I use are spices. My diet is usually 60% fat and 40% protein by calories. I used to eat 80/20 when younger and about twice as much quantity of meat also, but that seems too much energy at my age, which is 71- even though I am very active. I think the body actually becomes more efficient with energy as you age, but I have no way of proving it true. Otherwise, my body today is very like it was at the age of 30. I figure most of what we call ‘aging’ is due to insulin damage to the collagen and other body structures. No carbs = no insulin. I don’t heal quite as fast when injured as I did as a youngster, however. But I have few wrinkles, and my skin is still strong and elastic.” – Owsley Stanley, AKA – The Bear

All About Cholesterol

One of the most common questions we get in our Facebook group is “What about your cholesterol?!” So many doctors are behind the times and still don’t understand cholesterol and lipid profiles. High total cholesterol means nothing and is not an indication of anything. It is the triglyceride number of your cholesterol panel that is the most important. High triglycerides is an indication of heart disease and metabolic syndrome.

This chapter is about why and how the daily recommendation of fruits and vegetables became 5 portions. But, to me, the most profound section in this chapter was the one on how sugars, especially fructose, depress our immune systems and disable our white blood cells ability to destroy bacteria and illness causing organisms.
