DDT in Umbilical Cord Blood
Are pregnant women who eat fish, other meat, and dairy still passing along the pesticide DDT—even decades after it was banned?

Since chronic inflammation underlines many disease processes, and saturated fat appears to facilitate the endotoxic inflammatory reaction to animal products, researchers have looked to wild animals for less unhealthy meat options.
Todos los varones deberían considerar comer una dieta sana para la próstata, que incluye legumbres (alubias, guisantes, lentejas, soja); ciertas verduras (como ajos y cebollas); ciertas semillas (semillas de lino); y evitar granos refinados, huevos, y productos avícolas.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH—an enlarged prostate gland—affects 80% of older men, but like many other Western chronic diseases, it appears to be a consequence of our diet.
Meat consumption is not only associated with weight gain, but specifically abdominal obesity, which is the most metabolically concerning.
A dramatic difference exists between the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of black walnuts versus English walnuts.
La muerte en los EE. UU. es, en gran medida, una enfermedad alimentaria. El Dr. Greger, enfocándose en estudios publicados durante el año anterior, en revistas médicas revisadas por pares, ofrece recomendaciones prácticas sobre cómo alimentarnos nosotros mismos y a nuestras familias, para prevenir, tratar e incluso revertir muchas de las 15 principales causas de muerte en los Estados Unidos.
Given how vascular our kidneys are, it should comes as no surprise that animal protein, animal fat, and cholesterol are associated with declining kidney function (microalbuminurea—loss of protein in the urine), which can be an early warning sign not only for kidney failure, but also for heart disease and a shortened lifespan.
The high bacteria load in raw or cooked animal foods and fermented foods may trigger an endotoxemic surge of inflammation, which may be exacerbated by the presence of saturated animal fat.
The endotoxemia (bacterial toxins in the bloodstream) that follows a meal of animal products and results in inflammation and stiffened arteries may come from the food itself, rather than from one’s own gut bacteria.
A single meal of meats, eggs, and dairy can cause a spike of inflammation within hours that can stiffen one’s arteries. Originally, this was thought to be the result of saturated animal fat causing our gut lining to leak bacterial toxins into our bloodstream, leading to endotoxemia.
By preventing the buildup of cholesterol in our bloodstream, we can prevent atherosclerosis in our coronary arteries—the leading cause of death in the United States for both men and women. This involves increasing our intake of fiber-containing plant foods, and decreasing our intake of trans fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol found in junk food and animal products.
The addition of vitamin C to processed (cured) meats such as bacon may actually make them more carcinogenic.
Since foods are effectively a package deal, what’s the best way to get vitamin B12 (cobalamin)?
Harvard study found that men and women eating low carb diets live significantly shorter lives, but what about the “eco-Atkins diet,” a plant-based, low carbohydrate diet?
Unlike the United States, where the agriculture department is the lead agency on formulating dietary recommendations, other countries such as Greece rely on their health department. What do their dietary guidelines look like?
El mayor estudio prospectivo sobre nutrición nunca antes publicado sugiere que la grasa animal puede estar implicada en el desarrollo del cáncer de páncreas.
50 diferentes marcas de alimentos que contienen jarabe de maíz de alta fructosa fueron probados para el mercurio.
Las fuentes alimenticias enteras de la grasa tales como tuercas, semillas, y aguacates son probablemente superiores.
Los fitonutrientes pueden, en parte, estar relacionados con los beneficios que tienen los granos enteros y las verduras para la prevención del cáncer.
