This Monday morning we return to Examine.com for another review of a recent study that goes hand-in-hand with my previous articles on the importance of following our natural human diet during pregnancy and feeding the growing baby with mother’s milk and animal-based foods to guarantee proper natural development and health. This study, although very limited, does bring more evidence to the table of the extreme destructive forces of sugar, as in carbohydrates, and unsaturated fats, as in seed/vegetable oils.
Key study details
“The study was a natural experiment, a unique study design in which researchers observe the effect of an event that exposes a population to a specific condition. In this case, the researchers compared the disease rates in 60,183 participants who were conceived during and after a period of time (1942–1953) when the United Kingdom rationed food, particularly sugar.”
Calling it a “natural experiment” is misleading, unless the rationed food was intended and part of the World War II Psy-Op, as the official story is that there was a scarcity of supplies caused by the Second World War and the German strategy to restrict British imports.
Sugar was one of the first foods rationed, and quickly followed by fruits, cereals, rice, chocolate, biscuits, and seed/vegetable oils, including margarine. In other words, extremely toxic and damaging foods rich in carbohydrates and plant-based fats/oils.
To be fair, some cuts of meat and also eggs were slightly restricted, mostly to be able to keep up with demand as other foods were limited and people wanted their meat and eggs. However, the more severe restrictions included processed dairy and processed meat products that were usually imported, such as different cheeses, sausages, bacon, cold cuts/deli meats/ham, and canned products.
Also, pregnant mothers, children and invalids received more eggs (double the ration) and also more meat. This meant that children during this period had a lower chance of developing nutrient deficiencies, while also being less exposed to toxic foods, which is important to understand for the outcome of the study.
So, this food restriction resulted in a small restriction of eggs and meat, which could cause some minor nutrient deficiencies in some people. The reduction in unhealthy processed meats products did not really matter, as they are not as nutrient dense and also contain some toxic chemicals as they have been processed. However, the huge restriction of toxic plant-based garbage, especially carbohydrates and seed oils, contributed to a much lower toxic load on the body, while not restricting nutrients as they are not bioavailable in plant-based foods anyway, and that is why the researchers looked at the data that they did.
“The end of food rationing led to an immediate increase in children’s sugar intake (+50%–60%; approximately 25 grams more) and fat intake (+10%–20%; approximately 6 grams more), which amounts to approximately 160 more total calories consumed per day.”
Yes, this shows how brainwashed the population was, and still is today as sugar intake has increased almost by four times since then. The estimated mean daily intake of total sugar among preschool-aged children today is 86 grams according to the lying WHO. However, that is only counting “simple sugars” and not carbohydrates, which is the real problem, as all carbohydrates turn into glucose that damages the body.
Keep in mind that humans are obligate hyper carnivores and we manufacture our own glucose as we need it in perfect quantities through gluconeogenesis. Humans are meant to run on animal fats as we manufacture our own glucose. Therefore, humans should not consume any carbohydrates at all, as that will increase blood glucose over safe levels and damage all our soft tissues and organs. In other words, humans, and especially children should consume ZERO, as in 0 grams carbohydrates a day. However, according to the latest statistics, children aged 2 to 5 years consume an average of 220 grams of toxic carbohydrates per day! That is about what I consumed in the early 2000’s when I believed I needed carbohydrates as an athlete and bodybuilder to gain weight! 220 grams of toxic carbohydrates for a kid weighing about 16 kg is extreme! I used to consume 200 grams around my workouts and that was it for the day, and I weighed 90 kg! I never consumed more than 300 grams in a day, and I also preferred ketogenic diets or cycling carbs. And with that in mind, the “scientific” recommendation is about 0.5 grams per kg of body weight before and after a workout, which is a maximum of 90 grams for someone at 90 kg. And these small kids at 16 kg of bodyweight consume 220 grams a day! Insanity! So yes, parents are literally killing their own children. It’s a total disaster!
“When analyzing the populations decades later (e.g., in their 50s and 60s), the participants who were born during sugar rationing had a 36% lower risk of type 2 diabetes, a 19% lower risk of hypertension, and a 31% lower risk of obesity compared to the participants who were born after sugar rationing ended; these protective effects increased with the amount of time that individuals spent growing up during food rationing.”
Not surprising as we know that consuming carbohydrates, as in achieving unnatural elevated blood glucose above normal levels as maintained by our natural manufacturing of glucose will damage all soft tissues, muscle tissue, and organs, and especially our arteries and heart, as in our cardiovascular system. This damage is increased manifold if there are also any kind of seed/vegetable oils present, as in plant-based unsaturated fats as they are not chemically compatible with human physiology and also very prone to oxidation and rancidity, causing even more damage. As cells are damaged over time, they can’t use or store as much glucose as previously and once they’re severely damaged, they shut down completely to protect themselves or they would die. This is what is called type 2 diabetes.
And since foods that are high in carbohydrates and/or seed oils are usually totally void of any bioavailable nutrients, a diet that is high in these foods will cause nutrient deficiencies which will increase hunger and cravings as the body is desperately trying to get you to eat more or find better food to supply these missing nutrients, hence overeating and obesity. Of course, the toxicity of these foods will also cause new fat cells to form in order to encapsulate these toxins if you can’t properly detoxify (which is the case if you have nutrient deficiencies.) I’ve covered all this in my article “What Makes You Fat?”
The big picture
“Early-life nutrition — nutrition in the first 1,000 days of life from conception to 2 years of age — is critical for growth and development. Both undernutrition and overnutrition in early life are associated with a greater risk of chronic disease development in adulthood.”
There is no such thing as “overnutrition,” as “nutrition” is the definition of taking in food and using it for growth, metabolism, and repair. It involves the biochemical and physiological processes by which an organism uses food to support its life, providing nutrients that can be metabolized to create energy and chemical structures. Nutrition is also defined as the act or process of nourishing or being nourished, specifically the sum of the processes by which an animal or plant takes in and utilizes food substances.
“Overnutrition” would be consuming more than you need of actual nutrients, as in your species-appropriate diet of solely animal-based foods. And that would simply be a waste, as your body would store what it could for later use and then discard whatever it can’t use.
As long as the nutrients are in animal-form, as in fully bioavailable and bioactive, they are non-toxic and can’t cause any damage no matter the quantities. You can never hurt yourself by eating “too much” of something that is species-appropriate. The body will use what it needs and simply discard the rest. Simple biology and biochemistry.
So, in this scenario of consuming toxic carbohydrates and seed oils, it is not “overnutrition,” it is simply “overfeeding on toxic species-inappropriate foods.” And anyone with some common sense should understand that doing such a thing will cause tremendous damage, especially over time.
“The authors of the summarized study suggested that the primary influence on chronic disease stemmed from the changes in sugar exposure alone, but sugar accounted for approximately 100 calories of the total 160-calorie increase observed, and they somewhat glazed over the 10% to 20% increase in fat intake. Early-life sugar intake has been associated with the development and long-term risk of chronic disease, whereas the quantity of fat and protein intake may have less of an effect on chronic disease risk than their quality.”
Calories do not exist as they are a measurement of heat, as in heat units, and that is not how our body works. So, “calories” are totally irrelevant, and anyone mentioning calories only shows complete lack of understanding of human physiology. The only relevant thing is the toxicity and the damage that species-inappropriate foods do to the body, and that damage accumulates.
And while fat might seem to have a less effect on chronic disease, you still have to separate between natural and healthy animal fats which include saturated fats, cholesterol and polyunsaturated fats (omega-3,) and those of the extremely toxic and damaging plant-based unsaturated oils, as in plant based polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats.
Any kind of plant-based unsaturated fat will cause damage in the body. However, that damage is increased several times if blood glucose is elevated, as that will increase oxidation of the fatty acids, and since the fatty acids are not chemically compatible with human physiology, these fatty acids need to be converted. However, most of them will not, and the more oxidized they are, the harder it will be for the body to do anything with them. In other words, the more oxidized they are, the longer they will circulate in the bloodstream causing damage to tissues before they end up in your organs to be detoxified. Also, as long as blood glucose is elevated from consuming carbohydrates, your fat metabolism is shut down as glucose metabolism takes priority or you would die. So, these fatty acids will be in your blood for a very long time before they can either be converted or broken down and neutralized (causing more damage) in your liver and kidneys as part of the detoxification process.
And yes, this is why a lot of people lose weight on a ketogenic diet although they consume a lot of “fat,” because they do not understand the difference between healthy and energy-providing saturated fats and plant-based oils that go rancid and has to be eliminated by the liver and kidneys. Only a small fraction of seed/vegetable oils will be converted and provide energy while the majority of it will cause extreme tissue damage and eventually be discarded by the body.
Examine.com’s take
“It’s advisable to stick to guidelines that recommend zero added sugars and emphasize breastfeeding during the first 1,000 days of life. However, based on this study, we cannot definitively say that increased sugar exposure in early life leads to increased chronic disease risk decades later, given the observational study design, limited control of confounders, and limited understanding of the underlying mechanism. Nonetheless, lifestyle changes that involve diet and exercise can be applied throughout life to reduce the risk of chronic disease and even increase lifespan.”
It is advisable to remove all plant-based and processed foods for the entirety of your life! Any exposure will cause damage and is totally unnecessary, especially to children who naturally gravitate towards animal-based foods but are totally unaware of human nutrition and ultimately eat what their parents serve and do as they say.
And no, Examine staff, there is no “limited understanding of the underlying mechanism.” This is very simple biology, physiology and biochemistry, as I’ve already explained above and in countless other articles. Crap in equals crap out. It’s common sense.
