Ärende: Low Carb High Fat -- LCHF
=================================
I probably should better have made this an article in fidonews, but I can't
really see how it has something to do with fidonet. Unlike certain people in
fidonet, I take my role as fidonews editor seriously, and therefore am
reluctant to post anything not closely related to fidonet in the fidonews
newsletter.

   But LCHF is still very, very important.

   LCHF basically means a diet that us human beings have been on for all the
six million years since we split genes with the monkeys.

   Take those six million years, and make them into one year. For the entire
year, until the morning of the 31st of December, we lived on a LCHF diet.

   But that early New Years eve, we suddenly started growing crops, and changed
diet. We went from eating meat to eating wheat.

   So, how did we coup with this new diet? Well, we did fairly well. We worked
really hard, so we "burned" all the carbs that we started to digest.

   But then, some time around two minutes to twelve on that New Years Eve, we
were told that eating fat was really, really bad for our health -- we'd be much
better off if we stuck to the newly invented "light" 
products that the food industry now produced, and we had to avoid our previous,
natural food, such as butter, cream, bacon and fatty meat.

   Well, this was about 50 years ago. Now we have the result. Obesity is
rampant. Diabetes too. And of course, the most serious of them all,
cardiovascular disease, is killing almost every person that manages to reach
the age of 80.

   And all this can be avoided!

   JUST LAY OFF THE CARBS!!!

   Yes, that's right! Before something like 5-8 thousand years ago -- depending
on country -- us humans were genetically designed to eat certain food. That
food was -- beside meat and fish -- roots, nuts, seeds, fruits, and some more.
But never rice, wheat, corn or something like that.

   We simply never was, and still are not, genetically designed to eat carbs.
Yes, a minute portion of it, as in what we get from e.g. fruit, but not the
70-80% that we get from e. g. rice and wheat.

   So, as everybody who has tried to revert to the old, original human diet --
the LCHF -- have discovered, reducing the carbs you eat to an absolute minimum
(less than 5% of everything you eat) will make a completely different person
out of you.

   Not only will all that excess fat you have collected disappear, but your
blood sugar will become totally normal even if you previously were a diabetic.
Your cholesterol level will be raised to a healthy level. Ah yes, that's right,
unlike what Pfizer wants you to believe, so that they can sell you the most
profitable "medicine" ever, Lipitor, a high cholesterol level is actually vital
for you as you grow older!

   Yeah, well, you probably don't believe me. Even if you are both obese and
diabetic. But just give it a try for a week or two, that's all it takes. Stay
out of all carbs you can find, but eat all the fatty food you want.

   LCHF.
