Collection of Excerpts Diabetes Obese people tend to go on to suffer type II diabetes (NIDDM) and diabetics are more prone to heart disease. For this reason patients with NIDDM are counselled to eat a 'healthy' low-fat, high-carb diet. But: the best diet for diabetics to avoid heart disease is high-fat, low-carbohydrate because: "A very high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet has been shown to
have astounding effects in
helping type 2 diabetics lose weight and improve their blood lipid
profiles. The thing many
diabetics coming into the office don't realize is that other forms
of carbohydrates will increase
their sugar, too. Dieticians will point toward complex carbohydrates
... oatmeal and whole
wheat bread, but we have to deliver the message that these are carbohydrates
that increase
blood sugars, too." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In general, study has demonstrated that multiple risk factors for coronary heart disease are worsened for diabetics who consume the low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets so often recommended to reduce these risks" Diabetes Care 1995; 18: 10-16 "it seems prudent to avoid the use of low-fat, high-carbohydrate
diets containing moderate
amounts of sucrose in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes
mellitus." Comments: Insulin does not treat the diabetes, but only lessens its symptoms Dr. Jan Kwasniewski No hospital in the world is running a program to treat the cause
of diabetes.
That disease is considered incurable. No facts, not even the most
spectacular
and apparent, are able to make modern medicine change its view.
I cured my
first type 1 diabetic 30 years ago.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Obesity The best diet for weight loss is high-fat, low-carbohydrate: Average daily losses on high carbohydrate/low fat diet - 49g (like
modern slimming diets) "The most striking feature of the table is that the losses
appear to be inversely proportionate
to the carbohydrate content of the food. Where the carbohydrate
intake is low the rate of loss
in weight is greater and conversely." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Reduced fat and calorie intake and frequent use of low-calorie
food products have been associated with a paradoxical increase in
the prevalence of obesity." "The failure of fat people to achieve a goal they seem to
want and to want almost above all else must now be admitted for
what it is: a failure not of those people but of the methods of
treatment that are used." Comments: "Starvation" diets and chemical concoctions that inflate
the stomach (and so also a "starvation" technique, just
with a fake full felling in the stomach) are harmful to your health.
These methods starve down not only spare fat but also all tissues
and organs. People who surived second world war concentration and
labour camps were truly skinny and came out of the camps in ruined
health, sometimes for their whole lives. Weight gain is caused by an excess of carbohydrates in what is
eaten. They are converted into fat and stored in fat tissue. Fat
in a human body never comes directly from the fat that is in food
we eat. Using Optimal Diet Dr Kwasniewski and now many other doctors in
Poland treat obesity in the most effective way . The largest loss
of body weight as recorded by Dr Kwasniewski was 107 kg ( over 235
pounds ) in one year - permanently. The most important though is
the fact that the Optimal Diet PREVENTS weight gain. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cardiovascular Disease The best diet for a healthy heart is high-fat (animal fat not vegetable oil), low-carbohydrate : "In this study we compared the effects of variations in dietary
fat and carbohydrate (CHO) content on concentrations of triglyceride-rich
lipoproteins". . . "The diets contained, as a percentage
of total calories, either 60% CHO, 25% fat, and 15% protein, or
40% CHO, 45% fat, and 15% protein." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "In Framingham, Mass, the more saturated fat one ate, the
more cholesterol one ate, the more calories one ate, the lower the
person's serum cholesterol" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Intake of margarine may predispose to development of CHD
in men." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Medical Research Council survey showed that men eating butter
ran half the risk of developing heart disease as those using margarine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets [15% protein, 60% carb,
25% fat] increase the risk of heart disease in post-menopausal women."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "More plagues than heart disease can be laid at sugar's door. A survey of medical journals in the 1970's produced findings implicating sugar as a causative factor in kidney disease, liver disease, shortened life-span, increased desire for coffee and tobacco, as well as atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease." Enzyme Nutrition. Avery Publishing Group
Inc, 1985 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stroke The best diet to lower blood pressure is high-fat, low carbohydrate: "Intakes of fat, saturated fat, and monosaturated fat were
associated with reduced risk of ischemic stroke in men." "In
our data intakes of fat and type of fat were not related to the
incidence of the combined outcome of all cardiovascular diseases
or to total or cardiovascular mortality." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Japan after WWII there was a "rapid change in living and
eating patterns. This provides a unique opportunity to observe a
natural experiment in which population risk may change." Calories
from total fat and total protein increased by 104% and 22% respectively.
Over the period (1964-83) the intake of fat from meat increased
remarkably whereas fat from oil decreased. Fat intake from fish
decreased. Carbohydrate intake from rice decreased. Heart disease
= no change; Stroke declined 61%; cerebral haemorrhage declined
65% in men and 94% in women. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Moreover, recent findings in a US population, among 350,000
MRFIT screenees followed 6 years, bear on this idea (of increased
stroke and cerebral haemorrhage risk with lowered cholesterol).
In that study, there was a sixfold excess risk of death from cerebral
haemorrhage in middle-aged men having total serum cholesterol levels
lower than 160 mg/dl and also elevated BP". ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fats and Breast Cancer The best diet to avoid breast cancer is high-fat (animal, not vegetable), low-carbohydrate: "After mutual adjustment of different types of fat, an inverse
association with monounsaturated fat and a positive association
with polyunsaturated fat were found" . . . "Saturated
fat was not associated with the risk of breast cancer" . .
. "we found no positive association between intake of total
fat and risk of invasive breast cancer" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The risk of breast cancer decreased with increasing total
fat intake (trend p0.01) whereas the risk increase with increasing
intake of available carbohydrates (trend p=0.002)" . . . "The
findings also suggest a possible risk, . . . of reliance on a diet
largely based on starch." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "We found no evidence of a positive association between total
dietary fat intake and the risk of breast cancer. There was no reduction
in risk even among women whose energy intake from fat was less than
20 percent of total energy intake. In the context of the Western
lifestyle, lowering the total intake of fat in midlife is unlikely
to reduce the risk of breast cancer substantially." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Johns Hopkins researchers have found evidence that some cancer
cells are such incredible sugar junkies that they will self-destruct
when deprived of glucose, their biological sweet of choice"
. . . "Scientists have long suspected that the cancer cells
heavy reliance on glucose, its main source of strength and vitality,
also could be one of its great weaknesses, and Dang's new results
are among the most direct proofs yet of the idea. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fiber and Colon Cancer The best diet to avoid colon cancer is low-carbohydrate, low cereal fiber (bran): "Many carbohydrates can stimulate epithelial-cell proliferation
throughout the gastrointestinal tract." . . . ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Our data do not support the existence of an important protective
effect of dietary fiber against colorectal cancer or adenoma."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "A study looking at colorectal subsites: ascending, transverse,
descending, sigmoid and rectum concludes that loose or soft feaces
are a significant risk factor for cancer at these sites" NOTE: Bran loosens faeces (BAG)
All the above is being confirmed on daily basis by practical application of the Optimal Nutrition by a growing number of doctors in Poland.
