you think all the drinks at your gym are protein-based? Protein boosts HGH and
helps you build muscles.
I know we are constantly told that vegetarians live longer than people who eat
meat, but this is a myth. Vitamin B 12 , which is present in animal products, is an
important vitamin that is needed to lower homocysteine, a marker of heart
disease.
What about Excessive Levels of Cholesterol in Some of the Protein Choices
You Recommend?
Despite what we’re constantly told by the medical establishment, recent solid
research indicates no relationship between cholesterol in food and blood serum
levels. Most of the cholesterol is produced by our bodies. The cholesterol you
ingest is used to make sex hormones and repair tissues.
As a matter of fact, when you eat cholesterolrich food, your body shuts down
its own production of cholesterol. The myth of cholesterol in food and its
relationship to heart disease can be best debunked by looking at the Japanese
diet. The Japanese eat more cholesterol (from shellfish and other organ meats)
than the rest of the world, but the average lifespan of the Japanese is among the
longest in the world. There is simply no link between cholesterol in food and the
onset of heart disease. Please don’t believe what you hear on the cereal
commercials.
Isn’t Your Recommendation of Fatty Meat over Leaner Meat Contradictory
to Mainstream Advice?
Animal fat has nothing to do with heart disease. It’s the manufactured fats, not
the natural fats, that contribute to heart disease. I know we’ve all been
brainwashed into thinking white-meat poultry is healthier than dark-meat
poultry, or that veal is healthier than duck. It’s simply not true. There are no
studies that prove white meat is healthier than dark meat or that chicken is safer
for your heart than duck.
As a matter of fact, I advise my patients not to throw away the skin, fat, and
bones from “organic” animal products. Instead, place them in boiling hot water
to make a healthy broth. Animal broth from poultry, lamb, and beef contains
calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Calcium is essential for healthy bones. The
gelatin-rich goodness of real animal stock is beneficial in improving digestive
disorders, including hyperacidity, colitis, and Crohn’s disease. Although gelatin
is not a complete protein source, it allows the body to utilize proteins from other
