Microblog: Time to Breakdown Nutritional Fallacies

Time to breakdown nutritional fallacies.

❌PLANT-BASED IS NOT AN OPTIMAL DIET.

🔅Requiring supplementation is NOT an optimal diet.
🔅Recommending faux-meat foods is NOT an optimal diet.
🔅Eating fats from seed oils + fruits is NOT an optimal diet.
🔅A diet < 100 years old is NOT an optimal diet.

❌RED MEAT SHOULD BE LIMITED BECAUSE SATURATED FAT CAUSES HEART DISEASE.

🔅Read the Big Fat Surprise by @ninateicholz
🔅Research what causes cardiovascular risk by learning from the Framingham Studies (going on 6 generations now)
🔅Heart disease barely existed 100 years ago. Cows have always been around.

❓You sure it’s the meat?

❌HEART DISEASE IS DUE TO CHOLESTEROL

🔅The heart’s (and brain’s) preferred fuel source is fat.
🔅Most of the cholesterol is made in the body. If food has high cholesterol levels, the body hankers down on production.
🔅50% of people that suffer cardiovascular disease have normal cholesterol levels. (Read more from @peterattiamd)

❓You sure it’s the cholesterol?

❌STATINS ARE SAFE

🔅If we know cholesterol doesn’t cause heart disease, then why are we taking statins?
🔅Statins cause muscle atrophy and correlate with mental health issues (see brain’s need for fat).
🔅They deplete the body of nutrients.

❓How many kids suffer from heart disease from said cholesterol? Well, as if statins being the number one pharma drug wasn’t enough, they’re working on statins for kids.

🚸 Please. No.

❌SALT CAUSES HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

🔅This is false in context. But easy to disprove. Cut down carbs for a couple months. Add more salt. Is your blood pressure high?
🔅Don’t blame salt for what the bread did.

❌EAT THE RAINBOW

🔅Plants have nutrients. Plants also have antinutrients. Which will win in your body?
