Eggs Are Bad Again? Latest Research BS

by Dr. Dennis Clark Leave a Comment

eggs and cholesterolYou can ignore the latest headlines about eggs and cholesterol – again. A recent study now getting attention from mainstream media has so many flaws that its conclusion is unwarranted – actually, it is ludicrous. The authors state that, “Among US adults, higher consumption of dietary cholesterol or eggs was significantly associated with higher risk of incident CVD [cardiovascular disease] and all-cause mortality in a dose-response manner. These results should be considered in the development of dietary guidelines and updates.”

Total BS!

Here is what you should know before you worry about eating eggs. [Read more…]

Simple Tartare Recipe for Steak or Tuna

by Dr. Dennis Clark Leave a Comment

simple tartare recipe dishes - steak and tunaThis simple tartare recipe made for a delicious lunch on a recent Saturday. Unlike most recipes, virtually all of the time required is in preparation … since there is no cooking involved. My reasons behind creating tartare dishes of steak and tuna are twofold: 1) I am always up for a new epicurean adventure (see, e.g., Got a Good Recipe for Beef Liver or Heart Carpaccio?; and, 2) I am continually upgrading the health benefits of my diet (more on that later).

Foods That Speed Up Aging

by Dr. Dennis Clark 3 Comments

aging and grilled foodsEating is wonderful. Except when it isn’t. Such as when it exposes you to the monumentally dangerous substances that scientists call advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGEs speed up aging and underlie many degenerative diseases, including diabetes, atherosclerosis, chronic renal failure, Alzheimer’s disease, high blood pressure, stroke, osteopenia, and generation of epithelial cancers.

Unfortunately, scientific jargon about AGEs has kept this all-important topic from becoming a popular subject on social media and at parties, picnics and family gatherings. We clearly need a new term that the public can understand and talk about intelligently.

Since AGEs represent oxidation gone amok, and since oxidation is a burning of sorts, I propose that we refer to AGEs as Burnt Crap in Foods (BCFs). There, isn’t that better? Now let’s delve into BCFs to see what they do, where they are, and how to minimize damage to your health from them. [Read more…]
