Recommended Western Diet Pandemic

The articles here are under development, and this will continue through the summer of 2018


They all relate in various ways with the big question as to who those populations which remain on a low sugar diet have near zero incidents of the health conditions associated with what has become known as the western (high sugar) diet.   Moreover when those peoples switch to the Western high sugar diet they develop those conditions once nearly unknown. 


Much of the material here is focused on how fructose (the reactive half of table sugar) is a slow acting poison that affects every cell in the body.  The evidence is beyond rebuttal. 


We cannot address successful our health disaster without knowing its cause.  While much of what is technical, by the fall of 2018, I shall have a non-technical explanation posted. 


At http://healthfully.org/rh/id7.html are documentaries and lectures confirming the association of sugar with those conditions, and at http://healthfully.org/rh/ are articles on the healthful diet and how to undo the damage.  Remember that are DNA is protected in a nucleus; thus slowly the older damaged cells are being replaced. 


Like with tobacco, industries frame the beliefs to promote their profits.  Thus they have us looking at serum glucose levels instead of insulin levels and thus insulin resistance; and they blame conditions on reactive oxygen species instead of the reactive sugar fructose.  They blame saturated fats and cholesterol--not sugar (fructose).  The basic research published in medical journal teaches are not mentioned in the required continuing medical education classes, medical text books, and corporate media.  That is why JK and others have to at length lay the foundation and expose the crap laid by industries.   




“I find it hard to imagine that a system this corrupt can be a good thing, or that it is worth the vast amounts of money spent on it”—Harvard Prof. Marcia Angell, quoted by Prof. Peter Gotzsche, in Deadly Medicine and Organized Crime:  How Big Pharma Has Corrupted Healthcare  p. 259 from her book The Truth About Drug Companies:  How They Deceive Us. 


This section of my website adds flesh to Prof. Angell’s summation of the corrupt of science worked by pharma.  It has been written for an audience of medical professional aware of the corruption, and want an evidence based explanation of what has been corrupted and how.  If you want to read more on this corruption than check out my list of books, and if you wish to watch lectures and documentaries page on many of the topics then click on this link.  Both links have description of the items averaging 4 pages and a rating of each.         Elsewhere in this website are thousands of articles on the various topics; the internal Google Search Engine will help your navigation.

Western high sugar/fructose diet starting point for insulin resistance, obesity, diabetes and the age-related conditions associated with the western diet.


The Four Major areas of Scams:  Heart-Cardiovascular disease, Cancer, Dementia, Neuroleptic drugs


Lesser scams:  acetaminophen, bisphosphonates, NSAIDS, sedatives for pain, protein pump inhibitors, type-2 diabetes drugs (ignoring the dietary fix).  A number of topics are found within cardiovascular disease such as statin, abilation, and hypertension drugs. 


Good treated as bad or useless:  antioxidants (vitamins A, C and E, CoQ10), aspirin, niacin hormone replacement therapy for men and women, salt, sunshine.  And though not developed (the list is long), many older drugs are better than the newer ones, or as Prof. Ben Goldacre wrote:  “It is amazing how quickly an older drug becomes bad once off patent." 


Ignored:   fecal transplant for intestinal conditions such as diverticulitis, vitamin C for cancer, rancid polyunsaturated fats, beta hydroxybutyrate, coconut oil, aspirin lowers cancer risks, aspirin promotes apoptosis thereby reducing the risk of a stage I, II, and III cancer developing into stage IV cancer, neuro-protective and heart protective estradiol and testosterone, for diabetics carbohydrates should be avoided, fructose is toxic to the liver like ethanol, how to reverse insulin resistance and thus lower CAWD risk through intermittent fasting and ketogenic diet.   


Useless touted as good calcium supplements, low salt diet, low dose aspirin.


Supposedly good advice, but evidence weak/contradictory:  stress hormones, vitamin D, and a high ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 competitively hinders the conversion of omega 3 into anti-inflammatory factors, NSAIDs for pain.   


Healthful Links to topics of interest:  Topic such as why physicians give junk treatments, side effects, the best of books, my collection of documentaries and lectures on YouTube each with a short description and rating.  


Pharma is in the business of treating illness, thus not preventing illness



DISCLAIMER:  As Ben Franklin said, we all keep our own time; thus below is about what I would do; however, I am not recommending others to violate clinical guidelines or their doctors’ recommendations. 


This is a muckraking web section on pharma’s tobacco science.  Nearly everything we learnt about medicine is flawed.  Enter and view the evidence on the corruption worked by pharma.[1] 



[1] I stand on the shoulder of many critics.  First among them is Prof. Peter Gotzsche; his two books on Pharma as Organized Crime and on Deadly Psychiatry prove my point.  The former won a BMJ award for best book of the year. 



This is a rough draft, and will be updated periodically.  It is too valuable a source to be delayed 

Link to more quotes from those who have broken rank.

Link to a sympathetic explanation as to why physicians have become drug pushers.

I use two phrases to describe how industry influences beliefs and why, Tobacco science, and tobacco ethics.  Link for a summary of the science exposing in Tobaaccoism or How Tobacco Kills (1922) by John H. Kellogg M.D. of Battle Creek, Michigan, I have posted a 20 page excerpt of his book:  This is what we get from a system which measures success by profits.

I could have pasted advertisements by physicians on the health benefits of smoke, done 30 years after Kellogg’s book.  Need I say more? 



In 2011 having realized that scientific fraud was the norm for industry funded work and their key opinion leaders (KOLs), I restarted a new grouping of articles.  The three key areas of focus are medical myths, the harm down by the Western diet, and what to do about it.   All those with a “/r” (for “recommended”) have been posted since 2011.

My medical background consists of purchasing medical textbooks starting in 1971 and reading journal articles.  My academic qualification is 11 years of university training in liberal arts and science including, 2 years of graduate school in philosophy.  Having a faith in critical analysis that searches for the best answers and enjoying exploration, I continued to explore a wide assortment of topics as a leisure time activity.  In 2001, I started to put the products of that exploration on 3 websites.  Before YouTube became popular, I had a peak average of 15,000 pages downloaded daily.  For a page on that background, a link.
