Sally Fallon-Morell presents the research of Marg Enig PhD.

The video is called “The Oiling of America” and explains why cholesterol and saturated fats do not cause heart disease. It debunks some of the studies that shows otherwise, including Ancel Keys “Seven Country Study”.

It explains how sometimes studies are either intentionally or unintentionally misleading due to things like “varying the scale”, “relative risk”, and “omitting data”.

It also explain about fats. Some studies lump trans fats with saturated fat. And saturated fats incorrectly get the blame. Trans fats really is bad because of a translocation of an atom which creates dead spots in the electron cloud and hindering cellular reactions. Polyunsaturated fats are bad because they break upon heat and causes uncontrolled reactions (inflammation).

The balances in the gut flora between the good and bad bacteria can affect the brain and causes symptoms such as autism and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder.

In YouTube video, Dr. Mercola interviews Dr. Natasha’s Campbell McBride who had cured her son of Autism with the “GAPS diet” that she pioneered.

GAPS is “Gut and Psychology Syndrome” and her website is http://www.gaps.me/ where she has her book which is a self-help book for parents explaining what foods are good and bad for autism.

Parts of the GAPS diet is (1) restricting sugar and carbohydrates, (2) introducing probiotics in the form of fermented foods, (3) and detoxification.

Dr. Mark Hyman explains similar concepts when he gave his talk at Google where he mentioned how helped ADHD boy by correcting diet and other imbalances in gut.

Explains the dangers of sugar in particular the fructose. Common sugar contains 50% fructose. High fructose corn syrup contains even more at 55% fructose. That is why high fructose corn syrup is so bad for you.

He explains in biochemical details as to how sugar turns into fat. He actually will say that sugar is toxic. Because he explains in such scientific rigor, after watching the video, you will most likely become convinced of the dangers of sugar.
