Consumers loved it so more farmers started doing it to keep up with demand.<br />The result? Vitamin K2 deficiencies all through the population.<br />Vitamin K2 is the missing link in getting calcium into bones and teeth, so for all those people taking calcium supplements without also taking K2 you're actually harming yourself because the excess calcium ends up in your arteries. Excess calcium in the arteries leads to calcium build-up which leads to heart disease.<br />The lack of K2 is also attributed to the sad state of people's teeth in the Western world where people in 3rd world countries have full, healthy teeth, despite a lack of regular brushing.<br />Anyways, sorry for the long post, but definitely check out the book as it's a great read, at least the first half of it. It gets a bit weird in the 2nd half.One Fat Oz Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797937597104956489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-1955841653386731372013-11-27T11:02:06.018-08:002013-11-27T11:02:06.018-08:00@ Professor Hale - And it's dark because it sa...@ Professor Hale - <i>And it's dark because it saves electricity.

Because they keep them in completely dark sheds, they have to constantly run large fans to keep air flowing through the sheds...whereas, if they had open sheds with free range access to sunshine and fresh air, they wouldn't have to use any electricity!<br /><br />@ Eric - <i>"Somewhat OT, but did you see this?"</i> Nope. Thanks for the link.<br /><br />@ Ryan - <i>"Anyway, I forgot what my question was. Oh yeah, what do you think about depriving yourself of healthy fats, and eating large quantities of pasta?"</i><br /><br />I know plenty of guys that eat like crap and still have great physiques, because they work out alot. Thing is, most people eventually slow down and/or quit working out as they get older. That's when the bad diet WILL catch up to them.<br /><br />But we also have a mitigating factor here...a lot of body building advice that preaches low fat diets also recommend fish oil supplements, which may certainly supply the nutrients they're not getting from the low fat diet.Keoni Galtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-11135114831739158492013-11-27T07:45:59.224-08:002013-11-27T07:45:59.224-08:00Since you are a health enthusiast,I would like to ...Since you are a health enthusiast,I would like to introduce you to the works of Dr.Ray Peat.

Great post. Really ties things together.
...Keoni,<br /><br />Great post. Really ties things together.<br /><br />I'd like to ask your opinion on a related subject. <br /><br />We have watched ads for expensive bodybuilding supplements for years, while beautiful, genetically gifted, steroid users flex and strut their stuff in the background.<br /><br />We are told... 1) eat protein 2) eat very little fat<br />3) eat lots of carbs (except before a show to get ripped)<br /><br />I'm curious how much damage these muscle heads are doing to themselves by depriving themselves of fats, and from eating so many wheat carbs.<br /><br />I suspect the supplements make up some of the deficiencies.<br /><br />Obviously, these freaks are getting paid to promote these supplements and are getting free supplements as well. So they are happy to pitch the product.<br /><br />I eat a pretty balanced diet, high in protein, lots of veggies, no wheat, and plenty of healthy fats. I still lift heavy at age 57. <br /><br />I see lots of younger guys just getting raped with the supplement sales pitch. And the amount of wheat carbs an sugar they consume is astronomical. <br /><br />Anyway, I forgot what my question was. Oh yeah, what do you think about depriving yourself of healthy fats, and eating large quantities of pasta?<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04954282770461670970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-74842190290226013702013-11-22T18:59:26.395-08:002013-11-22T18:59:26.395-08:00Keoni:
