Some foods appear protective against the development of skin wrinkles—while others may make them worse.
Why is the intake of animal protein associated with heart disease—even independent of saturated fat—and the intake of plant protein protective?
Of all animals, the bodies of insects may have the lowest saturated fat content.
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.
Though official recommendations are to first treat high cholesterol with dietary change, many physicians jump right to cholesterol-lowering medications, such as statins, that can have an array of adverse side effects.
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.
The whole grain phytonutrient phytic acid (phytate) partially inhibits mineral absorption, but has a wide range of health-promoting properties, such as anticancer activity. By concurrently eating mineral absorption enhancers, such as garlic and onions, one can get the best of both worlds by improving the bioavailability of iron and zinc in plant foods.
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.
Breast cancer survivors may reduce their chances of survival if they eat too much trans fat, found primarily in the American diet in junk food and animal products.
Breast cancer survivors may reduce their chances of survival if they eat too much saturated fat, found primarily in the American diet in cheese, chicken, and junk food.
Since foods are effectively a package deal, what’s the best way to get vitamin B12 (cobalamin)?
What is responsible for the rising prevalence of atopic diseases, such as food allergies, asthma, hay fever, and eczema?
What dietary behaviors may cut the odds of developing of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in half?
A million Americans have a silent aneurysm in their abdominal aorta (AAA) that may become life-threatening over time.
La ingesta de grasas trans, que provienen mayormente de la comida chatarra y los productos de origen animal (principalmente de los lácteos y el pollo), y de colesterol, que proviene principalmente de los huevos y el pollo, debe ser lo más baja posible.
Following the recommendations of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee to “shift food intake patterns to a more plant-based diet,” the latest USDA guidelines include a vegan adaptation.
The success story in Finland shows that science-based dietary guidelines can save millions of lives.
How have the Dietary Guidelines for Americans evolved over the years since they were first issued in 1980?
The mission of the U.S. Department of Agriculture is to promote agribusiness. At the same time, the USDA is the agency primarily tasked with developing the nutrition guidelines.
Cardiology experts warn that eating even a single egg a day may exceed the safe upper limit for cholesterol intake.
Incluso los flexitarianos podrían estar en mayor riesgo de desarrollar artritis.
