6. Where the heck did these crazy nutritional guidelines come from, anyway? Revisionist history with Gary Fettke, MD

Dr Gary Fettke is an Orthopaedic Surgeon practising in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. He has a major interest in the preventative medicine and encourages his patients to lose weight before undergoing surgery. Although his speciality is surgery, Gary believes it is much better to help people avoid surgery by taking preventative measures, which often involves primarily altering the diet. He is an advocate of a Low Carbohydrate Healthy Fat (LCHF) lifestyle for the health benefits. He was “a fat kid” and has experienced ‘too many’ other health issues until changing his diet and lifestyle. He has concerns that as we get older the health systems will be under significant stress from financial and health burden aspects. It is simply unsustainable – a train crash in evolution. In recent years Gary has focussed on the role of diet in the development of diabetes, obesity and cancer. He has been speaking out internationally on the combined role of sugar, fructose, refined carbohydrates and polyunsaturated oils linking together to be behind inflammation and modern disease. Gary remains committed to understanding the central role of nutrition in everything ranging from our health issues to its role in influencing education, the environmental impact, economics, politics and belief systems. He has incurred the wrath of regulatory bodies for his stand on public health, but he and his wife, Belinda, remain active defending the benefits of low carb healthy fat living. Their ongoing work has uncovered the vested interests and ideologies shaping nutritional guidelines at an international level.   Gary Fettke, MD contact info: Website: isupportgary.com Ig: @isupportgary Twitter:@fructoseno   Time stamps:   8:56 Gary's story. 15:17 Cereal industry "conspiracy" 22:32 Being told that he was unable to give nutritional advice. 25:40 What were the complaints saying? 28:09 Tim Noakes' similar situation. 30:45 Banting diet 32:17 Why is sugar toxic  38:07 Grains and cereals (polyol pathway) 40:32 Non-evolutionarily consistent food  43:02 Our own "Brave New World" 44:37 Belinda Fetke's work. 47:37 The role of the Seventh Day Adventists church. 52:22 Kellogg's cereal involvement. 54:35 Who influenced Ancel Keys? 57:37 Article on Seventh Day Adventist role in nutritional guidelines in Journal of Religion. 1:01:42 Religious ideology and the U.S. food guidelines. 1:03:55 Seventh Day Adventists and the soy and alternative meat industry. 1:06:27 Seventh Day Adventists and medical education. 1:11:54 Coca-Cola and the Seventh Day Adventist. 1:15:44 Cereal

Cow farts are killing the planet! Or are they? A Conversation with Peter Ballerstedt, PhD

Peter Ballerstedt earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the University of Georgia and his doctorate at the University of Kentucky.  He was the forage extension specialist at Oregon State University from 1986 to 1992. He currently works in the forage seed industry. Peter’s personal experience has led him to re-examine human diet and health. What he has learned doesn’t agree with the advice given for the past several decades. This new understanding combined with his forage background has given him an increased passion for the key to true social, economic and ecological sustainability – ruminant animal production systems – the source of butter, red meat, and cheese!  Peter has spoken at many different events in the US and internationally. Many of his presentations are available on YouTube (http://bit.ly/2JJDJpE). He blogs at “Grass Based Health” (http://bit.ly/2XaRdxv) and Facebook (http://bit.ly/2wsNBes), and posts to twitter and Instagram @GrassBased. Peter and Nancy live in western Oregon with their two dogs Conor and Noni.
