I know it’s AI. But it’s funny because it’s true…

I have been arguing against the standard American food guide pyramid since my bachelors in nutrition back in college.

In fact, the first thing I did when going into practice is create my own food pyramid. It never made sense to base a diet on 65% carbohydrates. If they pushed healthy ones like sweet potatoes, squash, quinoa, small berries, and apples, then maybe I would accept that, but the pyramid literally has pictures of cereal, bread, rice, etc.

For decades, the Dietary Guidelines favored corporate interests over common-sense, science-driven advice to improve the health of Americans.

Finally, the insanity has come to an end.

The new Dietary Guidelines call for prioritizing high-quality protein, healthy fats, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains (although I still suggest limiting these)… and avoiding highly processed foods and refined carbohydrates.

We are moving in the right direction. Now let’s see if they do a good job marketing this “new” information to the general public.

They will do anything to put him down. The average American reading these headlines will call him crazy and question why he is in charge of health. Those that know understand that he is right on so many topics. The American dietetic association is so outdated. These are the people who told everyone that eating eggs raise cholesterol. They vilified saturated fats and told everyone to consume trans fat and low fat foods, which is so detrimental to human health.

EXPERTS ARE WRONG.

While disease specific nutrition has its place, most conditions can be resolved by the consistent addressing of general, foundational concepts. Diet, movement, sleep. Healthy lifestyle choices. Day in, day out. No magic pill. No fancy treatment. Just consistent effort and a determination to make a change.

Studies reveal that processed sugars enter the bone marrow within 30-45 minutes of ingestion, suppressing immune system function for up to 12 hours.

Unlike natural sugars in fruits and vegetables, where fiber slows absorption and minimizes immune impact, processed sugars—found in items like sodas (25-40 grams per can)—are rapidly absorbed, triggering inflammatory responses that lead to chronic inflammation and weakened immunity.

Research, including a specific study on a 100-gram sugar dose, shows it significantly impairs neutrophils’ ability to combat bacteria and slows macrophages, which engulf pathogens, compromising the body’s first line of defense.

Additionally, sugar disrupts gut bacteria balance, heightening infection susceptibility, and undergoes glycation—attaching to proteins like antibodies—forming advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that may spur diseases.

It also depletes vital immune-supporting vitamins and minerals and increases physiological stress, further taxing the system. Moreover, sugar creates an environment conducive to bacterial and viral propagation, easing their spread.

The establishment warns of these cascading effects, supported by data from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition linking high sugar intake to reduced phagocytic activity.

However, skepticism lingers—some effects’ magnitudes vary by individual metabolism, and long-term human trials are limited, suggesting while the risks are real, their severity may depend on overall diet and lifestyle, necessitating balanced consumption and further research.

Research from Johns Hopkins and the National Cancer Institute links regular broccoli consumption (3–5 servings/week) to reduced breast, prostate, and colon cancer risks. Cruciferous vegetables contain bioactive compounds that may help protect cells from DNA damage.
