This is the last book in the tetralogy about diet and disease. This book helps the family's food engineer to develop a lifetime diet for the extended family. There is not medical advice. It is up to you to use your current knowledge base and common sense to see if you agree with some or all of my allegations. Although our current medical science can sometimes perform treatments that seem like miracles, they are poor in offering any diet advice.

Wrong diagnosis has greatly diminished our chance of changing their lives. Let me give you my argument on why we must change the diagnosis. We are successfully treating the cough, but we have ignored the lung cancer.

This article was motivated by a lawsuit regarding cancer and talcum powder.

Now about 30 percent of the kids in the US are obese. I am sure this is not the historical norm. I have researched fasting in adults, but other than starving, there is little on fasting in children.

This a short article in which I review what I consider the best weight loss diet for women. It will give you the basics you need, and advise you to go to kellygregg.com for more details. I also mention fasting, as I have found some women will try this to fit into a wedding dress. This may actually be a good idea if you are healthy and have excess fat. I would go to my website and listen to some podcasts or buy a regular book before you start.

Lipoproteins in diet and health has been a confusing topic for many. Is cholesterol good or bad? Is a low-fat diet good or bad, or maybe neutral. I will at least teach you the lingo so you can understand what is being talked about. Actually, I am going to teach you a lot more than that. Not everyone will agree. I count on your common sense.

Understand the metabolic basis for the ketogenic diet, and the metabolic consequences for not losing weight. And learn about the common maintenance diet to keep you from just going back to where you started.

In this short audiobook, we go over some of the biochemistry of gluten and the diseases associated with bread intake. I have mentioned many diseases such as obesity, diabetes, immune disease, and cancer. The incidence of these have increased over the last few hundred years. I doubt if many of these diseases existed a couple thousand years ago.

This is one of the important topics in health that you may have never heard of. Autophagy is the mechanism by which your body rids itself of worn out cell parts. AGEs are abnormal proteins that accumulate in your body to cause damage, and is the principle element in aging. Of course, autophagy is what prevents this. Obviously, we want more autophagy and less AGEs. The modern western diet has us going in the opposite direction.

We all know what artificial sweeteners are. I will hereafter call them noncaloric artificial sweeteners (NAS). Almost everyone has at least tasted some, and there are people who eat them daily, often in the form of soda pop. The FDA has done a good job determining they are relatively safe for you in the sense that they are not poisonous or cause cancer. That does not mean they are good for you. In my writings on diet and health, artificial sweeteners are often used to help one lose weight. Although it seems counter intuitive, they do not seem to work.

It is now common knowledge that we know there is an obesity epidemic. We have about 40% of the adults in the world who are eating the modern Western diet diagnosed with obesity. As a result, we have more prediabetes and more type 2 diabetes with corresponding complications from this condition. There are numerous medications used to try to lower your blood sugar. but these are not curing anything and the condition slowly progresses.

Covid is a viral infection that the human race has not seen before, but has become much more intriguing than just that. It may be the first pandemic from a genetically modified virus. The vaccine is also a mRNA derived vaccine, one never before used in the general population and has properties that are unlike the antibody protection from our usual vaccines or natural infections.

Modern artificial sweeteners were developed so that we can have sweet things yet decrease the sucrose in our diet. They are sucrose replacements that do not have many calories if any, and do not affect insulin secretion which leads to the development of insulin resistance and eventual obesity or Type 2 diabetes.

I am going to assume you have the basic information about fasting, perhaps by reading the several books I have written on this subject. I am going to review the last 6000 years regarding fasting to try to explain why we now not only have an obesity epidemic, but also why our lifespan is the same now as it was 3500 years ago, despite our miraculous advances in medicine and public health.

There is no doubt that the new incretin weight loss drugs will revolutionize the treatment of obesity, but how exactly. I will explain the current field of obesity treatment. Up to this point I can easily say we are doing a poor job of treating obesity. The incidence of obesity in the United states has been rising over the last 150 years to the point that now we have a 40% incidence of obesity in adults, and it continues to rise.
