Cool. I am going to finish the book that has more than thousand references and scientific sources at its website, written by a doctor with 40 years of field experience anyway and decide for myself.
Also his takes on regenerative farming is something I am seeing many people are turning to to reclaim health and nutrition values of food. While you pretend that wealth == sickness, my country is the poorest of EU and yet the sickest and also the fastest, that’s true also, but that wasn’t the case until we got the processed food boom and the privilege of choices between expensive shitty dead food and cheaper and shittier dead food.
And I would try to work on prevention in my family, at least, rather than hoping that government healthcare will take care of us.
I never said wealth == sickness. It's the primary driver for a nation's obesity. Africa isn't skinny because of a lack of processed food. It's because of a lack of *any* food. Given increased wealth, a large segment of the population will overeat. This doesn't mean avoiding processed food is bad, but if you eat a truckload of unprocessed food you will still get fat.
Among individuals, the wealthiest are usually more intelligent and there is a weak negative association between intelligence and obesity.
Yet there is a thing called metabolically healthy obesity.
Go figure….
Some people are genetically able to carry more body fat with less inflammation. but on a long enough timeline these people do develop health conditions associated with obesity.
