With so much confusing information being tossed at us on a daily basis as well as the plethora of “experts” on the internet, it’s easy to snatch snippets and put personal spins on them. What works for me and what I encourage my clients to wrap their minds around is what have the vital peoples of the world traditionally consumed? When that track record is considered, we see that meat and animal products comprised 50 to 80 percent of their diet. They most certainly did not consume the 170 pounds of sugar, 150 pounds of artificial sweeteners, and 50 to 150 pounds of additives and farming chemicals the average (not obese!) American puts in their mouth every year. They were happy, healthy people with beautiful teeth, skin, hair and physiques who did not succumb to the diseases we see ravaging our society today. In fact, words like cancer and stroke did not exist in their vocabulary.
Which makes more sense to you?
