Organic Meats Are Not Health Foods

A Diet for all the Right Reasons

For those interested in promoting a healthy diet, it is important to teach and understand the many factors that play into health and disease and to adopt practices that address health as a whole. While organic standards may help to improve some aspects of health, it cannot help prevent obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and many forms of cancer, nor will it cure the environmental contamination and resulting health hazards plaguing the production and consumption of animal foods. A plant-based diet that is naturally low in carcinogens, pathogens, and disease-causing fat and cholesterol is the best medicine for promoting a healthy life.

Read Organic Meats Are Not Health Foods

Animal products, however they are produced, increase the risk of many diseases. I grew up on a dairy farm and most of my life I lived on beef, poultry, pork and dairy products. While living on the farm, it was all organic (that’s all we knew back then). But, it was also on the farm drinking organic raw milk that I was exposed to tuberculosis and ended up at Mayo clinic. Folks, organic raw milk is not health food.

If you are one who can’t imagine a life as a vegan, hypnosis can help you change that. A plant-based diet is healthy and it can be delicious, easy and affordable. A vegan meal can even be gourmet. If you are truly ready to get serious about your health and health of your family, learn hypnosis and make healthy eating your way of life. Fresh vegetables can feel and taste good in your mouth.

Abundant evidence suggests that the most healthful diets set aside animal products and also reduce fats in general, while including large amounts of vegetables and fruits. Eliminating meat and dairy products from your diet is a powerful step in disease prevention. Vegetarians avoid meat, fish, and poultry. Those who include dairy products and eggs in their diets are called lacto-ovo vegetarians. Vegans (pure vegetarians) eat no meat, fish, poultry, eggs, or dairy products. While there is a considerable advantage to a lacto-ovo vegetarian pattern, vegan diets are the healthiest of all, reducing risk of a broad range of health concerns.

Chicken: NOT a Health Food

I found Occupy Your Diet: A Discussion About Food, Health and Kindness With Dr. Neal Barnard, by Michael Tobias, to be a well written and informative interview. Neal Barnard, MD, is the president of the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine (PCRM). As you may know, I firmly believe that we should use food as our medicine and that our medicine should be our food. Much of our runaway healthcare costs today could be avoided with a healthy plant-based diet and exercise. Sadly, most people try to make lifestyle changes with willpower – which is a short burst of energy that is all too quickly used up. Self-hypnosis is proven to be an effective way to make lasting lifestyle changes. It only makes sense that you learn hypnosis and to improve your health.

Occupy Your Diet: A Discussion About Food, Health and Kindness With
Dr. Neal Barnard

Forbes, November 9, 2011, by Michael Tobias:

MT = Michael Tobias
NB = Neal Barnard

MT: Dr. Barnard, if you were asked (as I am now re-asking) to place one food item at the top of the list which, in your opinion, you would recommend be banned as a massively-consumed food item, what might it be?

NB: I would perhaps put chicken at the top of the list. Americans now eat one million chickens per hour, around nine billion every year.

MT: Why so many chickens?

NB: Because we imagine it to be some kind of health food.

MT: Is it, in your opinion?

NB: Well, collectively we are in the worst physical shape we’ve ever been in.

MT: On what basis?

NB: Our obesity rates have never been higher, and cholesterol-lowering drugs have never been so popular. In a word, we are a mess.

MT: And you are suggesting, opining – that chicken is doing what?

NB: As a doctor I am not alone in being of the belief – call it opinion, if you care to – that the intake of chicken is one – among many – drivers of the continuing increase in meat intake, that, in turn, carries its load of fat and cholesterol. These do take their toll. The problem with chicken is that it is wrongly promoted as a healthful choice, so people now eat more of it than ever.

I have to agree with Dr. Barnard when he says that “our government is subsidizing the very foods that fuel heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.” As a nation, we need to vote with our wallets and stop buying the food that makes us and our children sick. If you have never used self-hypnosis, why not learn hypnosis and change your life. As Hippocrates said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”

I’ve said for years that foods like cupcakes are as addictive as cocaine and there is now a growing body of scientific research to back up this statement. In his book Breaking the Food Seduction, Neal Barnard, MD, president of the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine (PCRM) writes about the addictive qualities of foods and how they stimulate the same opiate receptors as heroine. Using self-hypnosis, you can end the physical, mental and emotional addiction for fats and sugars and create a healthy craving for vegetables, whole grains and fruit. Learn hypnosis and overcome your addiction.

Fatty Foods Addictive as Cocaine in Growing Body of Science

Bloomberg, November 1, 2011: A growing body of medical research at leading universities and government laboratories suggests that processed foods and sugary drinks made by the likes of PepsiCo Inc. and Kraft Foods Inc. (KFT) aren’t simply unhealthy. They can hijack the brain in ways that resemble addictions to cocaine, nicotine and other drugs.

“The data is so overwhelming the field has to accept it,” said Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. “We are finding tremendous overlap between drugs in the brain and food in the brain.”

No one disputes that obesity is a fast growing global problem. In the U.S., a third of adults and 17 percent of teens and children are obese, and those numbers are increasing. Across the globe, from Latin America, to Europe to Pacific Island nations, obesity rates are also climbing.

The cost to society is enormous. A 2009 study of 900,000 people, published in The Lancet, found that moderate obesity reduces life expectancy by two to four years, while severe obesity shortens life expectancy by as much as 10 years. Obesity has been shown to boost the risk of heart disease, diabetes, some cancers, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea and stroke, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The costs of treating illness associated with obesity were estimated at $147 billion in 2008, according to a 2009 study in Health Affairs.

Sugars and fats, of course, have always been present in the human diet and our bodies are programmed to crave them. What has changed is modern processing that creates food with concentrated levels of sugars, unhealthy fats and refined flour, without redeeming levels of fiber or nutrients, obesity experts said. Consumption of large quantities of those processed foods may be changing the way the brain is wired.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Linked to
Prostate Cancer Risk

Researchers from Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center looked at 3,461 participants in the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial and found that men with the most DHA in their bloodstreams were two-and-a-half times more likely to have an aggressive form of prostate cancer. Similar results were found in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition study, where men who had the highest omega-3 levels had the highest risk for prostate cancer.

Fish oil is starting to look a lot like snake oil. The new findings linking higher DHA levels to cancer add yet another reason to skip fish and fish oil supplements. The more that I research, the more convinced that I become that vegetables, whole grains and fruit are the way to go. Living on plant-based food really is quite easy and using hypnosis makes it even easier.
