Dit boek gaat over fundamenteel wetenschappelijk onderzoek naar de relatie voeding en gezondheid.

Dit onderzoek vond plaats aan het begin van de vorige eeuw door Elmer v. McCollum een boerenzoon die pas met zijn 17de jaar echt onderwijs kreeg. Vervolgens ontwikkelde hij zich razendsnel tot een vooraanstaande onderzoeker op het gebied van gezondheid en voeding. Talloze proeven heeft hij gedaan. Gegevens die tot op de dag van vandaag nog belangrijk zijn. Hoewel ze niet meer actueel gepraktiseer...

The interest in the connection shown by the author between breeding tropical birds and lung cancer has expanded to the health risks of the intensive breeding of poultry, pigs and cattle for consumption. Since the fifties of the 20th century, intensive breeding in livestock has increased sharply. The production of meat (products), poultry, pork and other meat tripled between 1980 and 2010 and is expected to double again. An increase that keeps pace with the recent increase in cancer mortality....

All teenagers want to be healthier, fitter, and stronger. These are simple goals that all teenagers want to achieve. However, for more and more teenagers, these goals seem out of reach. The first question for such teenagers is: where do I begin? That question will be explored in this book and hopefully at the end of it you’ll have a clear answer and greater knowledge of health.

Dit is een transcriptie van de lezing van dr. Chris Knobber over voeding en gezondheid. Knobbe ziet een belangrijke oorzaak van onze ziekten in de voeding, met name het gebruik van plantaardige oliën. In plantaardige oliën zit omega-6 en die verstoort de gezondheid op een ingrijpende wijze. Met dierproeven die teruggaan naar McCollum toont hij de effecten van de verschillende diëten aan.

Increase in diseases transmitted from livestock to humans:

- Zoonoses as BSE, SARS, MERS, Q Fever and the spread of multi-drugs resistant bacteria were the result

- Live animal-based food markets are related to highly pathogenic influenza

- Increase in cancer is, very recently, since mid 20th century

- Oncogenic retroviruses as chicken and bovine leukemia viruses are now detected in our food chain with more refined lab methods

- Bovine leukemia virus was detected in breast cancer tissue of women

- Consumption of meat is related to colorectal can...

Do you know the feeling of being full to the brim after having a meal? Wanting to unbutton those trousers and let that belly bloat out? And do you remember the thought of regretting that you had eaten too much? Wishing you had at least avoided that extra helping or that second slice of cake? You have probably heard that the reason for our eating behaviour is related to humans' evolutionary tendency to store as much energy as possible. In a harsh environment, this made it easier to survive. Bu...
