I already knew that corn oil is evil, and I wish I would
have learned that sooner than three years ago! It is linked to heart disease,
diabetes, cancer and all other kinds of inflammatory disease problems. It was
always a part of my cooking arsenal.
My friend Melissa forwarded this blog post to me: http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2010/02/dissolve-away-those-pesky-bones-with.html
by Stephan
Guyenet. I will be following his blog regularly. Stephan’s post and the
associated National Institute of Health study High
fat diet-induced animal model of age-associated obesity and osteoporosis
help further explain why my teeth were translucent most of my life, which is
thanks to the life-sucking “food” that I overconsumed. For what it is worth,
sugar was probably the biggest bone destroyer in my diet.
With osteoporosis and “the bones of an 80 year old woman”
initially diagnosed at age 30, followed by a diagnosis of osteopenia (the
precursor to osteoporosis) when I was tested with better equipment, I am
especially interested in preventing bone loss. Imagine being 30, able to
bench press 120 pounds, run 10 miles and having body fat of 12%. I wasn’t
always that “healthy”, but at that time I was certainly the opposite of the
subjects of the study. And I wasn’t healthy in the way that I now define it. My
body continues to recover from a lifetime of disease-causing food, and the
older I get, the better I feel.
What galls me about this article is that rather than
trying to help prevent osteo, the researchers are pointing toward the
development of more drugs, which ALWAYS have illness-related side effects. I
look forward to the day when someone actually produces a drug with vibrant,
life-giving side effects.
I am reversing my osteo with food. Really delicious food. And
along with reversing that diagnosis, I have reversed premenopause, regained
vitality, regained my memory, greatly decreased my seasonal allergies (as has
my son), vanquished the pain in my back from a fracture I sustained 14 years
ago, and my husband is free from his ADD. Check out this post to learn more
about reversing osteo: Visual Proof That Food Heals.
I had a choice to make. I could accept the osteo
diagnosis of doom, or I could forgive my doctor's ignorance and get cooking. I chose to get cooking and get healing.
