The Real Food Pyramid

Great point from Dr. Eric Berg. Unfortunately the focus is to treat the symptoms and not the root cause of the problem.

Excellent point from Dr. William Davis. The medical profession need to use the simple tests they have available to them to more accurately identify risk and then prescribe the diet and lifestyle changes rather than the useless pharmaceuticals.

Let’s conduct a make-believe lipoprotein analysis, e.g, NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), i.e., a test that identifies and quantifies the particles in the blood (“lipoproteins”) that actually cause atherosclerosis, in contrast to outdated, nearly useless cholesterol values. Such an analysis mi...

There is a massive problem with this health star system.

Have you ever walked down the cereal aisle and wondered how a box of sugary, ultra-processed flakes gets a 4.5 Health Star Rating, while a carton of eggs or a nice cut of meat gets absolutely nothing?

It is not a mistake. It is how the system is designed.

For decades, we have been told to follow the government guidelines and look out for the ticks and stars of approval. But the reality is, the Health Star algorithm actually rewards manufacturers for stripping out saturated fats and replacing them with cheap seed oils and add a bit of synthetic fibre to balance the maths.

A single-ingredient, whole food cannot pay a licensing fee. It does not have a marketing budget to game the system.

I have just published a new piece breaking down exactly how this loophole works. I name the three most egregious "health foods" sitting on Australian supermarket shelves right now, and lay out exactly how to bypass the middle aisles and cook real food again.
