Processed food NOT fat is the real cause of heart disease, claims heart surgeon who says a diet of natural food can even reverse the illness
Dr. Dwight Lundell admits prescribing cholesterol-lowering medications, and a low-fat, high-simple carbohydrate diet for two-and-a-half decades was misguided 'These recommendations are no longer scientifically or morally defensible,' he writes in an essay that has ignited the Internet He vlaims these foods actively destroy the walls of our blood vessels by causing chronic inflammation, which in turn causes heart disease The cardiac surgeon recommends only eating foods your grandmother, or great-grandmother, would recognise
An Arizona heart surgeon's claim that a diet of unprocessed foods - not necessarily low-fat foods - can prevent and even reverse heart disease has ignited the Internet.
Dr. Dwight Lundell has dished the dirt on 'what really causes heart disease' and he admits prescribing cholesterol-lowering medications, and a low-fat, high-simple carbohydrate diet for two-and-a-half decades was misguided.
'These recommendations are no longer scientifically or morally defensible,' he writes in the essay, that has been posted on some 250,000 Facebook pages since it appeared on a website called Tuned Body in December.
He explains that this once 'healthy' diet actively destroys the walls of our blood vessels by causing chronic inflammation. This inflammation makes cholesterol stick to the walls, forming the plaques that eventually block them, resulting in a heart attack or stroke.
'When you spike your blood sugar level several times a day, every day, it is exactly like taking sandpaper to the inside of your delicate blood vessels,' he writes.
The former cardiac surgeon, who says he's 'peered inside thousands upon thousands of arteries' slams refined carbohydrates as well as the proportion of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids in the Western diet.

Hey, whaddaya know? He’s selling a book.
Making good gravy really is an art. Whenever we have roast chicken or turkey at my house, I make the gravy. I’ve got pretty good at it (meaning I only louse it up every now and again). It’s generally good, sometimes great, but always a little different from the last time I made it.
Actually, "whole wheat" is a meaningless marketing term. "Whole grain" is what you want to look for because there are specific criteria for the term. The two are not synonymous.
The problem is even worse for poultry than large livestock. I'll pass on any poultry with a Tyson's or Purdue label for this reason. We are fortunate here to be able to get Amish raised chicken for about 20 cents more per pound since our market is midway between two of the largest concentrations of Amish in the country.
You can taste the difference-- more dark meat and a slight gamey flavor from chickens raise with plenty of room and no nasty additives.
As I read this there’s whole wheat dough, five ingredients only, rising in the kitchen.
“We are fortunate here to be able to get Amish raised chicken “
I am one who also buys Amish chicken. I get it at the Asian market in Randall Hgts. Their vegetables are always very good too.
I can also make a decent red sauce for pizza that isn't mostly sugar and crisco. That seems to be what they've added to Dominos to make it “bolder”.
>> “Isn’t this kinda the same thing given how fatty most processed foods are?” <<

Processed foods are dangerous because they lack natural fats.
I think I'm getting a little hungry...
Good for you:) Bet everyone loves that!
Nothing better than a good rich gravy. Turkey gravy over slabs of white turkey. Pork chop gravy on white bread. Chicken drippings fresh from a roast chicken over rice. Beef gravy over mashed potatoes! You can’t get that at a restaurant to taste like freshly made from roasts at home.
I think I will get a roast going, here, for dinner, lol!
Wow I just noticed the chart I posted shows lard is 3 times healthier than canola oil haha
whoops make that two times
Processed cow’s milk (homogenization in particular) has also been linked to heart disease. Ever wonder why our Govt. protectors turn into the Gestapo with full-on prosecution when someone tries to sell unprocessed milk to a willing consumer?
I was happy to find some sheep/goat’s-milk feta cheese from Greece available at a local market here in Battle Creek. Cow’s milk feta always hurt my stomach, but the sheep feta is wonderful and doesn’t hurt me.
On most of my purchases, I purchase made in the USA as much as possible. With food, there are some foods for which the imports are better. Most European, Egyptian, Turkish (etc) processed foods do not use corn syrup instead of real sugar. Fruits and vegetables are picked fully ripened, just before processing. The cheese, dairy and meats have not been turned into chemical concoctions.
Another good source of healthy prepared foods is Middle Eastern foods, even those processed in the US. The ingredients are usually excellent.
Very good!! Wheat, oil, yeast, honey, salt?
Yep, plus water. Sometimes I sub a stout for the water. It just depends on how badly I might want to drink it instead!
>lard is 3 times healthier than canola oil<
There’s one catch. The lard they sell in grocery stores is usually hydrogenated (so it can be stored without refrigeration). Unprocessed leaf lard is the healthy type and may not be readily available, depending on how far you are from a farmer.
Yeah, 40 years ago, to be [almost] exact. But the nutrition, um, community still refuses to admit it. They still tout the benefits of "healthy" whole grains and insist on tiny servings of lean meat.
Amazing.
Funny how extremely unscientific the word ‘processed’ is but used in these junk articles.
