Alarming Warnings from the USA on Obesity and Cancer

Here is the headline today. A middle-aged cancer epidemic is being blamed on the West’s poor diet and overly generous portions. Leading specialists convened on Friday to issue a stark warning that obesity will soon overtake smoking as the principal cause of cancer. Doctors said Westerners had replaced one bad habit with another, with too many people eating their way towards an early death. This is a very positive step towards recognizing the health hazard our diet poses then doing something constructive about it. This stands in…

University of Sydney at it again: this time saying Paleo diets kill!

It seems some Aussie experts, particularly those at the University of Sydney are spending too much time with the Mad Hatter and others in the Alice story. Their research gets more bizarre as time goes by. Today researchers there announced that: Paleo diet leads to ‘shorter lifespan’. “The Paleo people will be screaming and howling and they have a personal and professional interest in doing it,” says Professor Simpson the academic director of Sydney University’s Charles Perkins Centre. “One of the best ways to combat the lure of fad…

Egg on Their Faces. Australian Groups Attacking Pete Evans Proven Wrong

Just a few days ago, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in the US came out with their new dietary guidelines. The basis for the radical change, indeed a 180 degree change, was based on credible published data, not the self-serving industry sponsored studies that our Australian authorities have been foisting on the public for the last three decades. Cholesterol and saturated fat have been removed as ‘nutrients of concern,’ salt restriction has been recognized as being causative of health issues, rather than the opposite and we…

Sorry seems to be the hardest word

A brilliant article by Dr Malcolm Kendrick, Scottish Doctor & author of “The Great Cholesterol Con“ I think that the four words ‘I told you so’ should only be thought, and never written down. No-one likes a smart arse. But sometimes it is impossible to resist….just impossible. In this case I have failed. ‘Father forgive me, for I am weak.’ So, here goes…’I told you so.’ Some of you may be aware that the US dietary guidelines are going to be changed. For some reason it is required that the full…

Male Hormone Restoration

Reprinted from Life Extension Magazine The significance of testosterone for male sexual function is apparent to most Life Extension members. New insights, however, underscore the critical role testosterone plays in maintaining youthful neurological structure, alleviating depression, as well as inducing fat loss in those who are unable to reduce body weight regardless of diet and exercise. Recent studies have demonstrated that low testosterone in men is strongly associated with metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease (Miner and Seftel 2007), and an almost 50% increase…

The Testosterone Controversy

This is a superb article reprinted from Life Extension Magazine and contains critical information that your doctor does NOT know…  Dr Robin Willcourt The Testosterone Controversy By William Faloon Testosterone levels are high in young men, but plummet during aging. Despite compelling findings of efficacy, conventional doctors still question the value of testosterone replacement in maturing men. This oversight is causing needless heart attacks and strokes. Low testosterone is associated with excess abdominal fat,1-4 loss of insulin sensitivity,5,6 and atherosclerosis.7,8 A critically important role of testosterone is to enable HDL to remove excess cholesterol from the arterial wall and transport it to the liver for…

Testosterone under attack in Australia. The last person you would ask for this advice is an endocrinologist!

On April 1, Australia put into place new restrictions on who can write prescriptions for testosterone. The government also lowered the level of normal from 8 to 6 nmol/L with absolutely NO scientific basis for doing so.  Here is an excerpt from my book ‘Chasing Antelopes.’ Australia’s idiocy when it comes to helping males! ‘When indicated, testosterone treatment is both essential and safe in elderly patients with symptomatic late onset hypogonadism, or testosterone deficiency,’ said study lead author Aksam A. Yassin, M.D., Ph.D., Ed.D., chairman…
