Today, the average intake is 10 times that. Prior to the 1900s, only 1% to 2% of daily calories came from omega-6 fats, the primary one of which is linoleic acid (LA). That was the primary ingredient of Crisco. The first commercial food seed oil to be introduced was cottonseed oil - a waste product from cotton production. That’s also when industrial processed seed oils (aka, vegetable oils) were introduced as a replacement to healthy animal fats like lard and tallow, which had previously been the norm. That’s when industrial food processing began. Merely turning back the dial about 150 years will do. But we don’t actually have to go that far back. The Paleo diet, which has gained popularity over the years, essentially strives to mimic the diet our ancestors ate during the Paleolithic era. How Diet Has Destroyed Our Healthĭiet is, as you might expect, a key strategy that can make or break your health (and your tolerance for stress). There’s really no single magic bullet for stress rather, certain lifestyle choices act synergistically to create a higher level of stress tolerance. Most of these are very basic and foundational, such as optimizing your sleep and circadian rhythm. This topic is covered in greater depth in a new book I’m writing, called “The New Take Control of Your Health,” which is an update of my 2017 book “Take Control of Your Health.” The update will hopefully be available later this year.Įssentially, the book will cover dozens of strategies that act as hormetic stressors, such that if you do them, you will develop natural resiliency against nearly every chronic degenerative disease. After more than two years of pandemic pandemonium, most are “running on empty.” The first question I address is how to address stress. In the featured video, independent journalist Corey Lynn and I discuss tips on how to stay healthy and what we can do, at the individual and community level, to fight medical tyranny. Grass fed beef is relatively low in LA, but lowest of all are bison and lamb This is why I don’t recommend either as a protein source. Conventional chicken and pork are both loaded with LA due to being fed high-LA grains.Healthy cooking fats include coconut oil, tallow, organic grass fed butter, ghee, duck fat and organic lard Use avocado oil and olive oil in moderation, and only if you can ensure it hasn’t been adulterated with industrial seed oil. Fats to be avoided include cottonseed oil, canola, corn, soybean, safflower and sunflower oil.The lower the better, but a reasonable goal for most people is to get your level below 5 grams per day As a general rule, anything over 10 grams of LA a day is likely to cause problems.Excessive LA intake - in the form of industrial seed oils - is responsible for most chronic diseases, including obesity, cancer and heart disease Linoleic acid (LA), an omega-6 fat, is by far the most damaging ingredient in the modern diet.Rather than attempting to list everything you need to include in a healthy diet, it’s far easier to identify and eliminate the dietary components that do the most harm Diet is a key strategy that can make or break your health.
