In the UK in 2012 an estimated 60,000 people had their gallbladder removed because of gallstones and over 2010-2012 the figure for Ireland was nearly 20,000. This number has been increasing year on year into a virtual epidemic, almost certainly related to contemporary high sugar/fructose diets. But it is fats that bring on gallstone symptoms –'gallbladder colic', said to be one of the most acutely painful experiences we can have. While seeking treatment for gallstones, the only way to avoid this pain is to follow a no-fat or very low-fat diet so that the gallbladder is not stimulated into action. But how to change the habits of a life time? Juliet Sullivan has been on that journey and shares what she has learned along the way (now in an expanded second edition), including what worked for her and the recipes she developed that saw her through to surgery and beyond. With star ratings for fat levels, her guidance is quick and easy to follow and provides low-fat alternatives of family favourites – from a roast dinner to spag bol – so sufferers can eat with family and friends and not feel excluded on account of their medical problem.

amounts can produce a deleterious effect on animals. In an attempt to quantify this potential for toxicity and to give sufficient margin for safety, JECFA has introduced an acceptable daily intake (ADI) level for food additives. For example, the ADI values granted for saccharin, aspartame, cyclamate, acesulfame-K and sucralose are 2. 5, 40, 11,9 and 1 3. 5 mg kg- body weight per day, respectively. Chapter 2 on regulatory aspects of low-calorie food elaborates these points. The additives that are to be consumed in large amounts, such as a fat replacement product like'Olestra'or a new bulking material like'polydextrose', present a more complex problem as far as the evaluation of their toxicity is concerned. Normal safety testing of an additive, such as a high-intensity sweetener, requires that the test animals are fed with a sufficiently high dosage in order to produce an effect and then on that basis an ADI value is calculated. In cases like'Olestra'and'polydex­ trose', which are not normally present in diet or metabolised to dietary constituents, such an approach will obviously not be applicable, or of any use, in calculating an ADI value. Due to these factors the regulatory authorities have not yet been able to produce any guidelines for toxicity trials for additives that are to be taken in food in large quantities.

Eating well can seem complicated, but it doesn't have to be. The truth is, one of the keys to having the energy, optimal body composition, and overall wellness we crave is the thing we're so often told is bad for us: animal protein.An ideal diet is one that is nourishing, balanced, and satisfying—but so often, we're told to cut out entire categories of food, and instead of feeling healthy, we end up feeling restricted, hungry, and even sick. Women are frequently targeted with misinformation about the “appropriate” diet to keep us thin, which demonizes animal protein and fat in favor of low-calorie, low-fat foods and leaves us no closer to our goals. Good health is not about deprivation; it's about finding balance and embracing the most nutrient-dense foods nature has to offer.In their new book, Carnivore-ish: 125 Protein-Rich Recipes to Boost Your Health and Build Muscle, Ashleigh VanHouten and Beth Lipton cut through the clutter and dogma to provide an accessible and informative resource about adding more healthy protein to your meals. This book busts the myths and fear mongering and explains how and why to include these foods, which taste delicious, provide satisfaction, and can help you look and feel the way you want to.In this book, you'll find: • The latest scientific research on the importance of eating animal protein for optimal health • A breakdown of why we've been taught to fear meat—and what this misinformation is doing to our health • Tips to figure out your own “optimal diet” while avoiding unnecessary restrictions and marketing tactics aimed at keeping us confused • Carnivore-ish meal plans made easy, with a breakdown of what a “carnivore reset” is and why it's worth trying • 125 tasty high-protein recipes to please all palatesWhether you're a lifelong meat eater looking for new and creative ways to get more animal protein, or you're finished with fads and seeking a health-boosting diet you can stick to, Carnivore-ish will help you enjoy a satisfying, protein-forward way of eating.

We've switched to low-fat foods, but are we any healthier? Research suggests not! Nicola Graimes in her new book suggests that now's the time to make a stand for fat – but explains that we have to be eating the right types in the right amounts for good health in the long term. Fat is an important source of energy and vital for cell growth, hormone regulation, cognitive development and supports good heart, gut and skin health. Nicola Graimes celebrates the ‘right'fats, not only highlighting their numerous health attributes, but also their diversity and the enjoyment they give to our cooking and eating. Her book dispels many of the myths surrounding fats, including which fats are healthy and the ones to avoid. It also showcases the best ways to prepare and cook fats for maximum nutrition and flavour.With over 50 delicious and vibrant recipes covering Breakfasts, Small Plates, Big Plates, Sides and Treats as well as easy-to-understand nutritional advice, the book provides the complete package to sensible right-fat eating for the long term and not a quick-fix diet. The book highlights that balance is key, with other food groups, such as good-quality plant proteins and right carbs, being equally important.The Right Fat is a practical and inspirational approach to maintaining a healthy way of eating – it's time to revive our enjoyment of this valuable food group.

The breakdown of food structures in the gastrointestinal tract has a major impact on the sensory properties and nutritional quality of foods. Advances in understanding the relationship between food structure and the breakdown, digestion and transport of food components within the GI tract facilitate the successful design of health-promoting foods. This important collection reviews key issues in these areas.Opening chapters in Part one examine oral physiology and gut microbial ecology. Subsequent chapters focus on the digestion, absorption and physiological effects of significant food components, such as lipids, proteins and vitamins. Part two then reviews advances in methods to study food sensory perception, digestion and absorption, including in vitro simulation of the stomach and intestines and the use of stable isotopes to determine mineral bioavailability. The implications for the design of functional foods are considered in Part three. Controlling lipid bioavailability using emulsion-based delivery systems, designing foods to induce satiation and self-assembling structures in the GI tract are among the topics covered.With contributions from leading figures in industry and academia, Designing functional foods provides those developing health-promoting products with a broad overview of the wealth of current knowledge in this area and its present and future applications. - Reviews digestion and absorption of food components including oral physiology and gut microbial ecology - Evaluates advances in methods to study food sensory perception assessing criteria such as simulation of flavour released from foods - Investigates the implications for the design of functional foods including optimising the flavour of low-fat foods and controlling the release of glucose

As health problems such as obesity, heart disease and diabetes increase in many developed and developing countries, the food industry has come under mounting pressure to improve the nutritional quality of its products. Particular attention has focused on the health problems associated with saturated fats in food and on the potential health benefits of increasing monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat content. Summarising key research in this field, this important collection reviews both the influence of dietary fats on health and practical strategies for improving the fat content of food products.Part one reviews the evidence on the links between dietary fats and health. There are chapters on the links between saturated fatty acid intake, obesity, coronary heart disease, diabetes and cancer, as well as the health benefits of monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs). Part two then discusses ways of reducing saturated fatty acids in food. It includes chapters on the role of lipids on food quality and ways of gaining consumer acceptance of low-fat foods, as well as chapters on improving fatty acid composition in dairy products and milk and the use of fat replacers. The final part of the book reviews ways of using polyunsaturated and other modified fatty acids in food products. It includes chapters on developing and using PUFAs as functional ingredients and ways of improving the sensory quality of products incorporating modified fats.With its distinguished editors and international team of contributors, Improving the fat content of foods is a standard reference for nutritionists and product developers in the food industry. - Reviews the influence of dietary fats on health - Investigates practical strategies for improving the fat content of food products - Discusses improving the fat content of foods whilst maintaining sensory quality

Medical and pharmaceutical history is replete with examples of dangerous interventions that have poisoned, injured, or killed. However, events since 2020 have attracted attention as never before to medicine's potential to be both lethal and malevolent. In The Medical-Pharmaceutical Killing Machine, Children's Health Defense situates current perils in their broader context with the aim of helping readers understand how to protect themselves and their loved ones. In the Greek Trojan War saga, the god Apollo ensured that Cassandra's prophecies would never be believed, with disastrous consequences. As recounted in the book, modern medicine, too, has produced its fair share of “medical Cassandras”—doctors and writers who have tried to warn the public about medicine's life-threatening underbelly, generally to little avail. A chapter dedicated to nine of these medical skeptics, beginning with Ivan Illich and his coining of the term “iatrogenesis” to describe adverse outcomes caused by doctors, weaves a powerful portrait of harms regularly denied and ignored, with those making the claims typically marginalized and “canceled.” The book shows that there is no shortage of tools in the killing machine arsenal. One chapter highlights the mRNA vaccine technology inaugurated with COVID, illustrating how this new mechanism for iatrogenesis is inflicting novel forms of toxicity, not all of which are yet understood. Another chapter about assisted suicide and euthanasia describes the chilling global proliferation of policies and propaganda promoting those practices for vulnerable populations that include babies, children, people diagnosed with autism, and the mentally ill. The book also describes factors that make it possible for the killing machine to continue operating with impunity, including the ascendance of an “evidence-based medicine” juggernaut, medical gaslighting, and a ballooning global enforcement infrastructure. Nor does it shy away from confronting what some now characterize as “iatrogenocide”; a chapter asking “Why Do They Do It?” considers money, prestige, and control as three possible answers. Ultimately, it is only by acknowledging the long-standing reality of an all-too-effective medical-pharmaceutical killing machine that people can learn to dodge the threats and work toward building a different model that prioritizes life and genuine health.

A guide examining one of the most important, yet often most neglected, organ systems in the body — from the mouth, to the stomach, to the pancreas and liver — and how to keep it healthy with herbal medicine and natural healing Digestive complaints account for around 30% of health consultations, and more than 40% of unrelated consultations end up being connected to the gut. An unhealthy gut, as well as causing gastrointestinal disorders, contributes to most other chronic health issues, ranging from neurological issues to chronic fatigue to mental health issues, as well as many more. And although a functioning digestive system is imperative for energy, intelligence, happiness and survival, it is often one of the most poorly understood and mistreated systems in the human body. In her twenty five years of herbal practice, Christine Herbert has treated a plethora of patients, whose issues more often than not stemmed from problems with digestion. In Digestion, the Key to Good Health Herbert condenses this wisdom into a pioneering guide on how to maintain a normal, healthy gut. The book sets out discussing the whole digestive process, from top to bottom, exploring all the organs and tissues involved. It moves on to discuss symptoms to be aware of that something is amiss with digestion and the gut, addressing a range of specific conditions such as reflux and GORD, mouth ulcers, IBS, leaky gut, haemorrhoids and many more. Herbert concludes Digestion, the Key to Good Health by exploring herbs that assist healthy digestion, condensed into a materia medica for ease of reference, along with other natural ways to help digestion. Digestion, the Key to Good Health is an essential guide for all herbalists, naturopaths and nutritionists to assist with their diagnosis and treatment of both digestive issues and the wider impact of the digestive system on chronic illnesses. The clear and accessible prose will also appeal to anyone looking to maintain a healthier digestive system and understand the functioning of their own body more deeply.

The obesity epidemic reflects a failure to understand how meals are chosen. Government initiatives have failed, and most people are unable to control their weight. In this book, an internationally recognized expert on diet and behaviour, discusses the common misunderstandings that have created the epidemic, and suggests how obesity could be reduced.After dieting the body needs fewer calories and you are likely to put on weight. Many people do not understand how to control their weight and rely on ideas that are simply wrong. Natural foods are seen as healthier when they are not. Ultra-processed foods are seen as a problem when the method of production is unimportant. There is little evidence that removing sugar from the diet, banning advertising to children, adding calories to menus, or providing nutritional information on packaging reduces obesity. In fact, removing fat from the diethas increased obesity.One conclusion is that current approaches have no chance of preventing obesity. Without new ways of dealing with obesity, it will inevitably increase, reducing life expectancy after decades of disease.So, what needs to change? One root cause of obesity is poverty. The way infants are fed in the first years of life determines the likelihood of obesity in adulthood. Without the development of low-calorie foods, little can be done. Since health policy depends on individuals changing their behaviour, they need to understand how to control their weight. Ambitious in scope, the author deals with the topic in an eye-catching and easy to understand manner, illustrated with colourful analogies and unusual and amusing facts. A refreshing novel perspective is offered that will be of interest to everyone wishing to control their body weight.
