Diets Of Deception POSTED ON 8 DECEMBER 2010 BY BRODRICK KENT 
Currently we are spending more money on healthcare than ever, yet we are gaining more weight and getting sicker and sicker at an alarming rate. In fact, government elections are now being won on health care issues. This is costing tax payers millions of dollars each year to control this spiraling issue that state governments clearly can’t manage. It is estimated that 25% of children are currently overweight or obese, a huge jump from 5% in the 1960’s. Recent studies estimate that more than half of all women and two-thirds of men are overweight or obese. That is almost 60% of the adult population ( www.abs.gov.au). How High Protein Diets Work POSTED ON 8 DECEMBER 2010 BY BRODRICK KENT 
How can you eat all the fat and grease that you want and still lose weight? Humans are primates; genetically and structurally, we closely resemble the gorilla. We are designed, just like the other large primates, to survive predominantly on plant foods rich in carbohydrates. When the human body finds that it does not have enough carbohydrates to run its "machinery" properly, it produces ketones, an emergency fuel that can be utilized in times of crisis.

'Dietary Fiber' The secret to stable weight loss POSTED ON 30 AUGUST 2010 BY BRODRICK KENT  Dietary fiber, also know as roughage is essential for optimal intestinal health and also plays an important role in weight management. Fiber is the residue of the foods we eat and causes peristalsis, the wave like contractions that move food through intestines for passage of waste, as well as increasing transit time. Roughage also binds to estrogen and toxins eliminating them in the feces before they re-enter the blood stream through the intestines and cause havoc.

Government, media, and even health professionals flood you with advice to load up your diet with fish and fish oil. The alleged health benefits of eating fish center on a two nutrients: omega-3 fatty acids and protein. 
Myriads of dieters on their quest to be slim and who seek nutritional truth, remain confused and cautious about the degree they should include carbohydrates into their menu. Fruit contains too much sugar. Can I eat bread? Don’t eat pasta, it’s fattening. 
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death in Western countries, claiming nearly 50,000 lives in Australia in 2008. Much has been learned over past decades as we now have a comprehensive body of knowledge written since the 1950’s documenting the link between a diet high in animal products, excess fat and low fresh fruit, vegetables, legumes, whole grains and the increased risk for developing several types of coronary diseases.................
“Let thy food be thy medicine, and thy medicine be thy food.” Hippocrates (1460 - 1370 B.C) Wow, what a statement for that day! This guy really knew his stuff. 
Today the supplement industry is booming as consumer interest grows in preventative health care. As readers search for their 'nutritional seat belt of choice', they are faced with some serious hurdles not only in sifting through the sheer volume of information available, but also in pursuing authentic information and averting hollow promises. So how does one validate all the claims? Stronger regulation is now required to control snake oil science and bogus claims made by supplement companies and professionals who prey on consumer ignorance.
Dr. T. Colin Campbell is a giant in the field of nutrition research. He has dedicated his life to investigating the relationship between nutrition and disease with a personal and particular interest in how diet effects the cancer process. Dr. Campbell a Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University. This renowned Professor has authored over 300 original peer reviewed projects and has received over 70 grant years of fundings mostly by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the research arm of the Federal Government.
It is evident that the foods we choose to eat not only affect our weight, moods and energy levels, but also how we age and the rate of aging. Diseases such as obesity, stroke, heart disease, chronic fatigue, diabetes, most cancers and many more, are conditions caused by body pollution, deficiencies and poor lifestyle choices.
To make intelligent and informed decisions regarding diet and health, one must first be able to discern between advertising and facts. One of the biggest challenges facing consumers today, aside from sifting through the sheer volume of health information available, is in pursuing authentic information and not succumbing to corporate agenda's. How does one validate all the claims? It’s not always the case of what is said, but what’s not said. Your health is big business. Many professionals at this present time are promoting rather than informing and unfortunately, the average person is not trained to discern the difference between storing telling and scientific evidence.
