Very-Low-Carbohydrate Diet Enhances Human T-cell Immunity Through Immunometabolic Reprogramming
Simon Hirschberger et al. Very-low-carbohydrate diet triggers the endogenous production of ketone bodies as alternative energy substrates. There are as yet unproven assumptions that ketone bodies positively affect human immunity. We have investigated this topic in an in vitro model using primary human T cells and in an immuno-nutritional intervention study enrolling healthy volunteers. We […]
The Double Danger of High Fructose Corn Syrup
Bill Sanda For many years, Dr. Meira Fields and her coworkers at the US Department of Agriculture investigated the harmful effects of dietary sugar on rats. They discovered that when male rats are fed a diet deficient in copper, with sucrose as the carbohydrate, they develop severe pathologies of vital organs. Liver, heart and testes […]
One Hundred Years of Diet-Heart Research: Good Science, Junk Science and Honest Mistakes
Paul B. Addis, Martin Grootveld … The extreme focus on dietary saturated fat and cholesterol as hazardous malefactor molecules, and replacement of the former with carbohydrates, has been detrimental to human health. … We now recognize that the cholesterol-heart disease hypothesis was based on data obtained initiallyon severely flawed experiments. All indications are that ‘pure’, […]
