Did you know that eating a large serving of French fries cooked in vegetable oil produces the same toxicity as smoking 24 cigarettes? Cornell-trained biochemist turned family physician Dr. Kate Shanahan introduces us to respected scientists who warn that vegetable oils are a public health disaster, damaging our body’s cells, depleting antioxidants, and promoting free radical toxicity.
The many negative effects of consuming unhealthy oils include:
- Uncontrollable hunger (which is why we need drugs to maintain weight).
- Fat accumulation under the skin, in internal organs, and in arteries.
- Blood sugar spikes that contribute to bad moods and even destructive behavior.
- Brain damage, difficulty concentrating, and mental illness.
- Intracellular oxidative stress, which is involved in the development of cancer.
- Inflammation of the intestines, bloating, heartburn and runny nose.
As a solution to the problem, the author offers a clear, well-thought-out plan that matches our genetic needs and the laws of nature. Fortunately, restoring our health is simplified because the nutrients that treat one disease also help treat all the others. As an added bonus, we restore our sense of taste, and eventually we begin to "crave" healthy, nutritious foods.
