The Fallacy of The Calorie: Why The Modern Western Diet is Killing Us and How to Stop It by Mike Fenster
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.2 MB
Overview: Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin wrote in “The Physiology of Taste”, two months before his death; “Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are.” In the almost 200 years since its publication in 1825 we have borne witness to the ultimate veracity of such a simple observation.
We have seen that truism reflected in our own modern Western diet. It is a diet that delivers us unto the disabilities and diseases of modern civilization; obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal disease, neurologic disease and autoimmune disease. Disabilities and diseases that have at their root a chronic, continuous low-level inflammation.
While we have suffered the inevitable outcome of such dietary indiscretion, the cause has evaded us. And without understanding the how and the why, redemption will continue to elude us. We will continue to focus on ineffective and misguided approaches. Super foods, dieting and weight loss fads, and the seeking of salvation through deprivation have yielded us nothing but continued misery and malady.
