Here's
EXACTLY what whole wheat bread, sugar, and vegetable oil does to the cells of
your body (STOP eating these)
These foods are silently KILLING you and your family, causing Diabetes, Heart Disease, Cancer & excess body fat... I'll also show you why you should eat MORE foods such as delicious butter, cream, cheese, coconut fat, avocados and juicy steaks. If this sounds odd to you, I'll explain more…..

You
often hear vague claims in the news that "sugar is bad for you"
or that "wheat and gluten are bad for you", but do you truly
understand what these foods do to your insides?
Most people DON'T understand the reasons... and the fact is that some of the foods I listed in the article title above can not only DESTROY your hormones and metabolism, but can also CAUSE you to get heart disease, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimers, and even cancer.
Not
only that, but as you'll see below, there's a common plant-based food that you
probably eat in restaurants frequently (I bet you ate this at least ONCE in the
last week), and this common plant food is proven to CAUSE heart attacks!
You'll see what I mean as you read the article below.
We'll
also show you exactly what you need to understand to eat in a way that BOOSTS
your metabolism, balances hormones, PREVENTS heart attacks, STOPS cancer from
forming in your body, and assures that you NEVER get type 2 Diabetes,
regardless of your "bad genetics".
So let's get right to it...
Why Wheat is KILLING you -- Yes, even
"whole wheat"
There
are 3 main reasons why wheat is a terrible food for your body and does more
harm than good...
Reason 1 -- Wheat causes blood sugar
disruption, Glycation of your cells, increases AGING, weight gain & boosts
Diabetes risk
Before
I tell you why wheat can actually speed up the aging process in your body,
let's clarify some simple biochemistry in your body...This
deals with "glycation" in your body, and substances
called Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs). These
nasty little compounds called AGEs speed up the aging process
in your body including damage over time to your organs, your joints, and
of course, wrinkled skin.
So
with that said, what is one of the biggest factors that increase
production of AGEs inside your body? This may surprise you, but high
blood sugar levels over time dramatically increase age-accelerating
AGEs in your body. This is why type 2 diabetics many times
appear that they have not aged well and look older than their real
age. But this age-increasing effect is NOT just limited to diabetics.
So, let's get back to how
"whole wheat" relates to this...
Here
is a little-known fact that's often covered up by the massive
marketing campaigns by giant food companies that want you to believe that
"whole wheat" is healthy for you... but the fact is that wheat
contains a very unusual type of carbohydrate
(not found in other foods) called Amylopectin-A, which has been
found in some tests to spike your blood sugar HIGHER than even pure table
sugar.
In
fact, Amylopectin-A (from wheat)
raises your blood sugar MORE than almost any other carbohydrate source on earth
based on blood sugar response testing that's documented in studies.
This
means that wheat-based foods such as breads, bagels, cereals, muffins, and
other baked goods often cause MUCH higher blood sugar levels than most
other carbohydrate sources. If you don't believe me, here's something you
should know... I ran personal blood sugar tests on myself using a blood
glucometer about 45 minutes after eating 2 slices of wheat bread Vs eating a
bowl of oatmeal, with equivalent grams of carbohydrates. You can also do this
tests…
The
blood sugar test results of wheat Vs oatmeal:
2 slices of whole wheat toast:
45 minutes after consumption: Blood sugar spiked from 86 fasting level to 155
1 Bowl of Oatmeal (equivalent grams of carbs to 2 slices wheat toast)
45 minutes after consumption: Blood sugar increased from 86 fasting level to 112
45 minutes after consumption: Blood sugar spiked from 86 fasting level to 155
1 Bowl of Oatmeal (equivalent grams of carbs to 2 slices wheat toast)
45 minutes after consumption: Blood sugar increased from 86 fasting level to 112
As you know now, the higher your average blood sugar levels are over time, the more AGEs are formed inside your body, which makes you age FASTER. Clearly, the whole wheat spiked blood sugar MUCH higher than the oatmeal, and if you don't know, 155 is a massive blood sugar reading that will certainly contribute to faster aging if you eat wheat frequently...
Not
only that, but the high blood sugar spikes caused by wheat also makes your body
pump out more insulin which makes you pack on more body fat... Not fun
at all!
These
massive blood sugar spikes from eating wheat daily also cause damage over time
to your blood sugar regulation system, harming your pancreas, causing
insulin resistance, and eventually causing type 2 Diabetes.
I think we have a strong case against eating so-called "healthy"
wheat!
Reason 2 -- Gluten and other gut-damaging compounds
The topic of gluten is on fire in
the media lately... But most people are confused as to whether there's any real
health risks with gluten for the average person that doesn't have Celiac
disease.
The
truth is that even if you are not officially "gluten intolerant"
or "gluten sensitive", there are hundreds of published studies
that indicate that gluten can cause inflammation in your digestive system,
and even cause "permeability" in your gut, which can lead to a health
condition that's on the rise lately called Leaky Gut, as well as
other digestive
issues and autoimmune problems.
Scientists
theorize that the reason gluten is causing these digestive system problems is
due to the excessive hybridization of wheat over the last 50 years, which has
created newly modified gluten molecules that are foreign to the human digestive
system compared to the ancient wheat that humans ate for several thousand years
historically, and even compared to the wheat that your grandparents ate 50+
years ago.
Reason 3 - Antinutrients and mineral blockers in wheat
The
third reason that wheat is terrible for you is that it contains what's called
"antinutrients", which are naturally occurring compounds in
the wheat plant, but can cause undesirable effects in humans that eat too much
of them. One of these antinutrients is called phytates, which
blocks the absorption in your body of certain minerals like zinc, iron,
manganese, and calcium if you eat wheat too often.
Again,
most people eat wheat with almost every meal (cereal in the morning, bread on
sandwich at lunch, and pasta or bread at dinner), so this can cause a mineral
deficiency in your body over time that leads to many health conditions.
Many
people often ask me... "But what about the FIBER in wheat? I
thought that's why it's supposed to be healthy?"
Sorry,
you can get ALL of the fiber you need from fruits, veggies, and nuts, without
the digestive system damage and massive blood sugar issues that are caused by
wheat.
Note: It's important to keep reading this page because I'll show you how to get access to ALL of my best secrets for AVOIDING wheat, but still eating amazingly delicious meals that BOOST your metabolism, BALANCE your hormones, FIGHT diabetes & cancer, and also help reduce abdominal fat. It's easier than you think, so don't think that eating healthy has to be "boring" like so many people foolishly believe.
Why Vegetable oil is KILLING you...
Although
vegetable oil has a healthy sounding name, it's NOT made from vegetables...As
you might already know, vegetable oil actually comes from any combination of
corn oil, soybean oil, canola oil, safflower oil, and/or cottonseed oil, ALL of
which are absolutely terrible for your health.
In fact, they are downright deadly, and
I'm not exaggerating. Here's why...
Reason 1 - Vegetable oils usually contain deadly trans
fats, even if non-
hydrogenated
You
already KNOW that trans fats are deadly, so I won't go into all of the science
as to why trans fats kill you and DAMAGE your cell membranes in your
body...leading to all sorts of scary health problems like cancer,
obesity, Alzheimer's, heart disease, and more.
Knowing
these facts, I'm sure you already know to stay away from foods that contain
partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. You've heard that a million times
before.
However,
what you probably DON'T know is that even non-hydrogenated vegetable oils (all
vegetable oils are refined) also contain some trans fats due to the extremely
high heat, solvents, and pressure they are exposed to during the refining
process. And yes, this includes so-called "expeller pressed"
vegetable oils as well.
All
of this high heat and high pressure processing along with the use of hexane
solvents actually forces some of the polyunsaturated content of vegetable oils
(yes, even so-called "healthy" canola oil) to be transformed into
trans fats and something even worse that we'll talk about in a minute called
"MegaTrans".
According
to Dr. Mary Enig, PhD, and Nutritional Biochemist, "Although the
Canadian government lists the trans fat content of canola at a minimal 0.2
percent, research at the University of Florida at Gainesville, found trans fat
levels as high as 4.6 percent in commercial liquid canola oil".
And this is the garbage that the
government and giant food conglomerates are marketing to you as a "healthy
oil"! Don't fall for it.
Reason 2 -- Vegetable oils contain oxidized "mutated fats" that are worse than trans fat & CAUSE heart attacks
All
vegetable oils contain oxidized fats due to the refining process and chemical
reactions with the polyunsaturated fat content of vegetable oils. Expert
Nutrition author, Catherine Shanahan, MD, calls the fats in vegetable oils
"MegaTrans", because they are similar in chemistry to trans fats, but
even WORSE.
French
Fries proven to immediately harm your arteries after eating them:
Free
radicals formed during the refining of vegetable oils create these
"mutant" fats, which damage your cell membranes & chromosomes,
and create massive inflammation in your body.
The
free radicals in vegetable oils also damage your arteries, which can directly
lead to a heart attack. Please be aware that this isn't just a
long-term risk of eating vegetable oils daily. There are also studies
that show immediate dysfunction in
your arteries, also called endothelial function.
Catherine
Shanahan, MD, cites in her book Deep Nutrition a study from New Zealand
that showed that subjects who ate french fries from a restaurant fryer
displayed immediate harm to their endothelial function of their arteries, going
from a normal 7% dilation before eating the french fries to almost NO
dilation at all (only 1%) AFTER eating the french fries. This is one thing
that can cause a heart attack.
If
you think I'm exaggerating, think again... Dr Shanahan also surveyed hundreds
of patients that were admitted to the hospital for a heart attack, and discovered
that every single patient that just had a heart attack had consumed foods made
with vegetable oils with their last meal before the heart attack...Scary
huh!
Reason 3 -- Vegetable oils cause massive
imbalances with your Omega-6 to Omega-3 fats ratio
One
of the other MAJOR reasons that vegetable oils are killing you is they are
mostly made up of inflammatory omega-6 fats, while having very little
anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats.
The
healthiest ratio from the scientific literature appears to be a ratio of 2:1 or
even 1:1 for your omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. However, most vegetable oils
skew your ratio as high as 20:1 or even 30:1 in favor of harmful inflammatory
omega-6 fats.
This Omega fat imbalance can be YET
another reason why vegetable oils lead to heart disease, cancer, obesity, and
many other degenerative diseases that WILL shorten your life significantly if
you don't cut out the vegetable oils ASAP.
As a quick note, the solution to
all of these major problems with vegetable oils is to use healthy oils like
coconut oil, olive oil, macadamia oil, avocado oil, and grass-fed butter, all
of which are MUCH healthier than vegetable oils and don't cause any of the
problems we've described in this section of the article.
Why Sugar is KILLING you... You can't just
"burn off" sugar...
In
fact, most people falsely think that if they eat sugar, they can just
exercise a little bit harder that day or the next day so they can "burn it
off"... Unfortunately, that kind of thinking will lead you to an early
grave.
It's not as simple as just
"burning off sugar" -- It's about what sugar does internally to the
cells of your body, and how sugar gums up your internal workings, causing
disease.
Once again, I'm not exaggerating
here, so pay close attention...
If you knew exactly why sugar is so
bad for you and exactly what it does to your cells in your body, I promise that
you would think twice about eating that piece of cake, candy, sugary soft
drink, fruit juice, or ice cream, or feeding them to your children.
Here are just a few of the reasons
that sugar is killing you...
- Just like we talked about above with wheat, sugar also causes extreme fluctuations in your blood sugar, and excess blood sugar causes Glycation inside your body, which accelerates the rate of aging of your organs, skin, arteries, and joints.
- Sugar also raises your triglycerides to dangerous levels, which can lead you to heart disease.
- If that weren't bad enough, eating sugar too frequently also causes type 2 diabetes in the long run because you wear out your pancreas and insulin sensitivity.
- And if you need even MORE reasons why sugar will kill you, sugar also slows down your white blood cells, making infection more likely, and even allowing CANCER cells a better chance to form in your body.
Of course, you already know that
sugar makes you fat, and gives you excess calories without any beneficial
nutrients whatsoever.
To
clarify, when we talk about how much damage
sugar does to your body, we're NOT talking about tiny amounts such as having 5
grams of sugar from a teaspoon of honey in your tea... Small amounts of natural
sugar likes are not a problem.
The
REAL damage occurs when you eat that piece of cake and ingest 40-50 grams of
sugar in one sitting, or that bag of candy with 35+ grams of sugar, or that
soft drink with 45 grams of sugar or more... Or even that so-called
"healthy" smoothie at the local smoothie shop that contains a
whopping 80 grams of sugar because of all of the fruit syrups they use in them.
Now that you know why sugar, wheat, and vegetable oils
are killing you and your family, maybe you'll think twice about eating cereals,
breads, bagels, muffins, candy, and processed foods or fried foods from
restaurants that are cooked in vegetable oil.
Here
are some examples of foods below that you might be eating and didn't even
realize they are making you fatter, and causing diabetes, heart disease, and
cancer...
So-Called "Health Foods" That Are
Causing You to GAIN More Body
I
can't tell you how many times I've walked into the kitchen of a client of mine
that has hired me for nutritional counseling, and I'm shocked by what I see...
Almost
every time, I see their kitchen cabinets and fridge LOADED with foods
that they think are "healthy" (or have been deceived by clever food
labels into believing are healthy), but in reality are fat-storing traps in
disguise.
It's not uncommon to see foods such
as:
- whole grain breads
- whole grain cereals
- whole grain crackers (more of that wheat that's killing you)
- soy milk
- tofu or "veggie burgers" (non-fermented soy can be harmful to your hormones)
- orange juice (loaded with too much fructose that raises your triglycerides)
- apple juice
- skim milk or homogenized milk
- margarine (deadly trans fat or even "MegaTrans")
- pre-packaged "diet" dinners
- sport drinks
- protein bars (most are candy bars in disguise!)
- overly processed meal replacements (with more junk than healthy ingredients)
- rice cakes (massive blood sugar spike)
- pasta (more wheat to age you faster)
- diet ice cream or diet desserts
- so-called "energy" drinks
- low-fat foods (usually replaces fat with more sugar)
- low-carb processed foods
- soybean oil, corn oil, canola oil
I
see this trend over and over again with almost every client when I first
inspect their cabinets and the foods that they were buying that they thought
were healthy.
