The China Study continued.......
It's common American philosophy not to trust our government to manage our economy, but have you ever considered that they may not have your best interest in mind in regards to NUTRITION?
What if I was to tell you that the individuals picked for the boards to make nutritional standards weren't highly educated on nutrition and had their pockets lined with special interest money?
It all comes back to greed. Huge players like the American Dairy Council/Beef Council/etc. hire scientists to come to conclusions that fit their business model. They influence boards with money and members.
Bottom line, what we have been programmed to believe is due to special interest, NOT what's best for your long term health.
Don't believe me, look around at the American public. The average American spends double of any other country on health care.
Which leads me to my next point. The medical field and it's problems. Has it ever occurred to you that the health care industry and pharmaceutical companies don't want you to be healthy? How do they earn a paycheck?
Have you considered that your doctor and a majority likely has less knowledge on nutrition than me? Nutrition is a very small part of their education. They are trained to diagnose and fix the problem, not prevent it. Has your doctor every mentioned nutrition? Very few practice this way. I suggest you find one that does.
As always, you have to accept 100% responsibility for your life. Never assume that the government or anybody else for that matter has your best interest in mind. Educate yourself and come to your own conclusion. I can tell you that I spent 35 years eating the typical American diet. I've spent just over a year constantly improving my nutrition. The difference I've experienced is monumental.
