Sulforaphane is the most potent natural phase 2 enzyme-inducer know to science. It is also demonstrated that sulforaphane is a dose-related inhibitor of carcinogen-induced tumorigenesis.
There are programs of dieting designed to help reduce inflammation and overall body toxicity and increase detoxification that are backed by science.
With vitamin D deficiency we will suffer from a wide range of health issues even if we don’t have a directly visible bone disease.
There are only two vitamins that are not produced by plants, vitamin D, and the other would-be vitamin B12. Vitamin D deficiency is a real concern.
What happens when we exercise or go on a restrictive diet?
In the health community, exercise has almost a mythical status as one of the best things you can do for yourself except for avoidance of smoking.
There is a form of diet that is primarily designed for utilizing autophagy called intermittent fasting. To do a full-calorie restriction diet is a hard choice.
The higher the metabolism, the higher the oxidative damage, and the higher the cell division. Every time cell divide it clips telomere in half and our longevity
We all want a substantial amount of muscle mass and fast metabolism so that we can eat more but autophagy is what is in line with evolutionary biology.
Somehow we believe that one glass of wine is not all that bad, or even worse, we believe in alcohol health-promoting myth because of the grape’s antioxidants.
Acrylamide is classified as a Group 2A human carcinogen. In 2002 it was discovered in extremely high concentrations in potato chips and French fries.
The paradox of the “Plant Paradox” is that people who eat more lectins (beans and whole grains) have less cancer.
Heating of amino acids in the presence of creatine (cooked meat) creates mutagens known as Heterocyclic Amines (HCA).
As the level of fat in the bloodstream rises the ability of the body to clear sugar drops. One of the diabetes causes is our maladaptation to a large fat intake
People believe that refined carbohydrates are associated with insulin spikes and are one of the diabetes causes. They are right. However, they are also wrong.
People of European descent can drink milk and the rest of the globe cannot. There is, however, a lot of substances in milk besides lactose that none of us can tolerate.
What are the associated obesity risk factors? For all life on the planet Earth, except for us, food is not a choice.
Our entire evolution, we were like any other species on this planet, in constant hunger and in search of food. Overeating is an example of maladaptation.
In nature, there is no refined sugar or fat. Our brain had never been exposed to a combination of the two all at once forcing us into binge eating disorder.
Adventist Health Study showed that Seventh-day Adventists do have a measurable lower risk than other Americans for most of the Western diseases.
China study showed that there is no heart disease or cancer or diabetes in undeveloped rural communities in the world with starch-based vegan diets.
We are not smartest species if we scientifically measure animal cognition. The long-finned pilot whale neocortical brain part contains more neurons than our own.
Are humans omnivores in a true anatomical sense? There is a fundamental difference in the way the digestive tract works in plant vs meat-eating species.
What is the cause of obesity epidemic? For all life on Earth, food is not a choice. The hardest thing for the animal in the wilderness is to gain weight.
Environmental toxicity is the bioaccumulation of toxins. Organisms are filters. But there is one more even worse process called biomagnification in food chain.

In the top 10 leading causes of death, this includes chronic diseases, most are caused by a non-evolutionary congruent diet (high amounts of animal products).
If we disregard the real genetic causes that cause no more than 5% of deaths, the real reason for chronic diseases is an evolutionary incongruent diet.
