Lower
Your Grains and lower your insulin levels
Over the past fifteen years, our dietary establishment
has made a virtual industry of extolling the virtues of carbohydrates.
We're constantly told that carbohydrates are the good guys
of nutrition, and that, if we eat large amounts of them, the
world should be a better place. In such a world, the experts
tell us, there will be no heart disease and no obesity. Under
such guidance, Americans are gobbling breads, cereals, and
pastas as if there were no tomorrow, trying desperately to
reach that 80 to 85 percent of total calories advocated by
the high-carb extremists.
Scientific
Evidence of the value of eating few grains
Unfortunately, the debate over the validity of this concept
has primarily been waged in the media and lay publications
and not in the scientific journals. Many of the popular books
which support this position are gimmicky, and often, lack
adequate scientific referencing. Yet, at their core is very
important concept -- limiting the intake of carbohydrates,
(especially as cereal grains and starches), will improve human
health.
The
Paleolithic Diet and Its Modern Implications
Can fifty thousand years of human evolution be wrong? What
are we really "designed" to eat? Are high carbohydrate
"Food Pyramid" diet standards a health disaster?
What do paleolithic fossil records and ethnographic studies
of 180 hunter/gatherer groups around the world suggest as
the ideal human diet? Find out in nationally acclaimed author
and nutritionist Robert Crayhon's interview with paleolithic
diet expert, Professor Loren Cordain, Ph.D.
