I've got to get this reader data out there; sooooo, the post I've been planning and writing to slam dunk a certain "researcher" from New Zealand will just have to wait until the first of next week. I'd planned to incorporate that with this, per my style, but I'll just have to link it. Whenever back when, I did a post on saturated fat epidemiology from a UK reader, Alex Thorne. He was pretty careful in that -- unlike science frauds and grant whores -- as an honest guy, he anticipated... Read Full Story

Jesus Just Left Chicago. ZZ Top. Enjoy. Later: Awh, what the hell; a bonus track, keeping with the blues theme, eh? Any guys contemplating a divorce out there? Speaking, no doubt, from experience, Buddy Guy says: It's "Cheaper to Keep Her."

The worst thing about eating french fries, in my view, isn't the starch carbs or the anti-nutrients in potatoes, but what they are deep fried in. You can rest assured that you're getting some sort of industrailly processed, heat & solvent extracted, deodorized franken oil with the high omega 6 polyunsaturated fats heavily oxidized from heat damage. But that's a problem I can easily deal with. Natural Cooking Fats That's tallow rendered from grassfed ground beef, leaf lard, and coconut oi... Read Full Story

Yep, and who does fraudulent science? Fraudulent researchers (grant whores). And what are fraudulent researchers? They're frauds. Well, as I try to finish up a post on saturated fat and one particular fraud from abroad, I just came across an interview by the great Uffe Ravnskov, whom I've mentioned in blogs a few times, at least. Here's an excerpt dealing with the current state of the diet-sanity revolution in Sweden. Do you think mainstream medicine will ever relinquish its view that elevate... Read Full Story

Man, ever since I heard the first Jimmy Moore interview with Dr. James Carlson, I've liked this guy's frank, in-your-face style. But, who is he? Well, he's a doctor with quite a set of credentials in terms of education. ...degrees in biochemistry and cellular physiology from Cornell University. Medical degree from New York College of Osteopathic Medicine. Chief resident at Delaware Valley Medical Center in Pennsylvania.

I got an amazing email this morning that delighted and thrilled my soul, and so I'm going to congratulate reader Chris right out loud and in public, because he really deserves a great big round of applause. You've asked to be kept up to date, so I thought I'd touch base. As of this morning's weigh-in, I'm down 94 pounds in just under 6 months. Now, that's from a high of 374, so at 280 I'm not exactly svelte (yet), but needless to say I'm thrilled with the progress. I've lost 10 inches fro... Read Full Story

I originally came up with this just trying to approximate what I had eaten at a local restaurant, the main taste being chocolate. While it was fabulous, some pointed out that traditional mole has spices. And, so, here we are again. Chicken Mole I again used a rotisserie chicken, but no spice rub on it this time. It was two chickens, so, 2 cans of coconut milk, one bar of Lindt 85% cacao and about 2/3 of that amount in some organic dark chocolate with cherries and red peppers from the farmer'...

No, you wouldn't, would you? And yet many out there either well into paleo eating or at least knowledgeable about it still allow their kids to consume all sorts of sweets, especially on October 31 and well into the next week. For some, the sheer volume of candy is astounding. We're talking pounds of it. I refuse to give kids candy or sweet drinks; any time, any place, any circumstance. And less important is that actual specific piece of candy or soda pop, but what it conditions them to want t... Read Full Story
