Periodic Fasting Quotes

“To that I draw a very big exclamation mark: be careful with following general recommendations. Our DNAs even if they are 99% the same, individual gene expression is different. It only takes a single switch (mutation) in a base pair (SNP - single nucleotide polymorphism) to make a person very different from another. I would urge you to practice with strategies, observe and optimize.”

“Ancel Keys conducted research on the diets of people from 22 countries to observe the relationship between cholesterol intake and cardiovascular disease. He started publishing results as of 1955. In his findings however, he only presented data from 7 countries that proved a linear relationship (apparently causal) between the two parameters.                 When other researchers started accessing the same databases that Keys did, and when they plugged-in the data from all 22 countries, they observe no relationship between cholesterol intake and heart disease whatsoever [70]. But it was too late at that point, because the harm was made. Keys gained a lot of influence and may have participated in the fat phobia that emerged once his misleading study was out.”

“If the reader is not aware, conventional (modern) medicine mostly focuses on treating the effects of illnesses rather than shooting for the root causes. One receives insulin to reduce blood sugar instead of consuming foods lower in sugar so that insulin may be less required.                 One is given statin drugs to unnaturally and unsafely reduce cholesterol levels instead of promoting an internal environment where fats and cholesterol are used when they are mostly needed. One is being prescribed antibiotics for simple viral issues. And so on. Conversely, functional medicine may be closer to a more optimal approach to wellbeing.”
