Mainstream health advice is a recipe for inflammation, insulin resistance, and chronic disease.
Here are 7 lies they've told you:
1) Meat causes cancer
Here are 7 lies they've told you:
1) Meat causes cancer
The studies that claim meat causes cancer forgot to take into account:
• The large fries
• The 32oz Coke
• The hyper-processed buns and condiments
The 4oz of meat in the meal isn’t what’s causing cancer.
They also fail to differentiate between a hot dog and quality beef.

Meat is one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet.
Our ancestors survived and thrived on it for millions of years.
This ancient food isn’t the problem.
Engineered modern “food” is.

2) “Eggs cause heart disease”
Cholesterol from eggs has been wrongly associated with heart disease.
But studies show eggs in the diet don't raise "bad" cholesterol in the blood.
Eggs mainly raise GOOD cholesterol.
They're one of nature’s most nutrient-dense superfoods.

3) “Eating throughout the day boosts your metabolism”
Studies have shown no difference in metabolism between people who eat 2 meals a day vs. 6.
We aren’t meant to be constantly eating.
And longer periods without eating are great for your gut health and digestive system.

4) “Saturated fat is bad for you”
Old studies blamed saturated fat for heart disease.
But these studies were highly flawed and politically motivated.
Newer studies show there is zero association between the two.
There is 0 reason to fear meat, eggs, coconut oil, or butter.

5) “Low-fat foods are good for you”
Another marketing scheme by Big Food companies.
Low-fat foods are often:
• Highly processed
• Preserved with seed oils
• Loaded with sugar and corn syrup
Be wary of anything with the label “low-fat.”

6) “Grains should be the base of your diet”
This idea is a complete fallacy.
Grains are relatively low in nutrients compared to foods like fruits, vegetables, and meat.
And the pesticides irritate your gut.
Excess consumption of grains can lead to a host of health problems.

7) “You only need 40g of protein a day”
Old studies claimed that high-protein diets cause kidney disease.
But just like the rest of these claims, it’s untrue.

Protein is actually associated with improved bone health.
And eating a high-protein diet combats the two main risk factors for kidney disease:
Diabetes and high blood pressure.
