But what he is saying is so foreign to our post modern diet and lifestyle choices we literally can't comprehend the truth of it. Meanwhile the average way of eating these days is making us sicker and sicker, and the so-called health care system is making itself richer and richer.
Is what I just said an oversimplification?
There are also ever increasing levels of environmental toxicities, and it would be difficult to design and mount studies to determine whether the primary cause of increasing post modern diseases are due primarily to toxins we handle and inhale or to toxins we chew and swallow.
Or even, as it has becomes increasingly apparent, to the drugs pushed on us by big pharma.
With all sources of toxicity in the mix it's difficult to find a definitive answer as to which of these three sources of toxicity is the primarily culprit, but it's interesting to note that one of them, environmental toxicities, we do not choose to ingest into our bodies, as they are in our environment, but highly-palatable toxic substances we do choose to ingest.
So that one source of toxicity is completely under our control. So how do we implement these changes? As Dr. Doug says, eat more fruits and vegetables, in particular the ones that can be eaten raw.
Fruit till dinner, and salads at dinner, it's not complicated, but to get enough calories you will be eating a higher volume of food than you are used to. Why is that? Plants are high in fiber and low in fat, and fats are very calorie dense. It's basically impossible to get fat or stay fat on a high fiber low fat diet, but the processed food industry doesn't want to tell us the truth about that, and big pharma is happy to tell us Ozempic is the answer to obesity.
It's a lie. But a very profitable lie.
Pharma drugs? We can usually stop ingesting these also, as we make healthier choices as to what we chew and swallow.
If something is highly palatable maybe let's stop falling into that pleasure trap, and choose whole fruits instead. When hyper-palatability is eliminated as a choice the palatability of fruits as our healthy choice comes to the fore.
But won't we become weak eating only plants, especially raw plants? You may find it interesting that Dr. Doug Graham has won the British Masters National Powerlifting competition recently, making it two years in a row.
