Sally Fallon Morell takes on the Diet Dictocrats

THE IMPORTANCE OF GREEN GRASS

Genuine milk allergy (as opposed to lactose intolerance) occurs in three to five percent of children. A study from the University of Vienna indicates when the milk protein beta-lactoglobulin “pockets” or captures retinoic acid, this reduces or eliminates reactions to milk protein. This is accomplished by feeding cows green grass (J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2021 Jan;147(1):321-334.e4)! So are children and adults allergic to the milk protein, or to the way the cows are being fed? Beta-lactoglobulin, by the way, also helps raw milk drink­ers assimilate vitamin A. It is destroyed by pasteurization.

VITAMINS A AND E IN MOTHER’S MILK

The Weston A. Price Foundation has felt the sting of criticism for its insistence that the quality of the breastfeeding mother’s diet can influence the quality of her milk—many groups promoting breastfeeding insist that mom does not need a special diet. Traditional cultures knew better and made sure that breastfeeding moms consumed special nutrient-dense foods during lactation. Science supports these indigenous traditions. For example, a recent study from Brazil found through dietary surveys that intake of vitamins A and E was inadequate in 74 and 100 percent of nursing women respectively. Surprisingly, blood analyses did not reflect these deficiencies, but the breast milk did. The authors concluded, “…the contents of vitamin A and E in breast milk seemed to be more sensitive markers of maternal nutrition status than respective blood concentrations, and dietary assess­ment…in early lactation was sensitive to indicate later risks of deficiency and should support maternal dietary guidance to improve the infant’s nutrition” (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm. nih.gov/31470574/).

VITAMIN A FOR BREAST CANCER

“An updated comprehensive review on vitamin A in breast cancer,” (Nutrients, September 2021) notes that vitamin A is a powerful antioxidant that modulates oxidative stress and cancer development, in particular breast cancer development. Vitamin A compounds have cytotoxic effects on cancer cells without affecting normal cells, “which can minimize the side effects of chemotherapeutic drugs.” The article details efforts to encapsulate carotenoids with various nanocarriers “to enhance drug delivery to cancer sites.” Aside from the confusion of carotenoids with true vitamin A throughout the article, the authors never state the obvious: why not just eat vitamin A-rich foods such as liver, cod liver oil and grass-fed butter? We suggest that these natural sources of true vita­min A are far more effective at providing protection against breast cancer—indeed all cancer—than “carotenoid-loaded nanotechnologies”!

VITAMIN D3 AND MALOCCLUSION

The current explanation for the widespread prevalence of dental malocclusions and narrow jaws is the lack of hard food in infant and children’s diets—tantamount to sug­gesting treatment of short stature in starving children with leg-stretching exercises. A new paper (Nutrients, June 2021) suggests that narrow jaws indicate a type of rickets caused by vitamin D deficiency. In the study, vitamin D deficiency was found in 75 percent of patients with a narrow upper jaw. The solution, however, is not to give vitamin D supplements during the growing years, but foods rich in all the fat-soluble vitamins, including poultry liver and fat, egg yolks and butter from grass-fed cows.

STATINS NO GOOD

Two recent studies indicate that cholesterol-lowering medica­tions called statins do zero, zilch, nada. The first, published in Atherosclerosis, (October 10, 2020), looked at Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) scores in statin takers and non-statin takers. The score is determined by a noninvasive CT scan designed to detect plaque buildup in the coronary arteries. Guess what! Those taking statins over the eleven-year period of the study had more plaque buildup in their arteries, or as the study authors put it: “Statins may increase calcification in mechanistic and imaging studies.” Rather than just come out and say it—statins do more harm than good—they danced around the conclusion by stating, “CAC scoring retains ro­bust risk prediction in statin users, and the changing relation­ship of CAC density with outcomes may explain the slightly weaker relationship of CAC with outcomes in statin users.” The second study, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, (March 14, 2022), looked at lowering of LDL-cholesterol (the so-called bad cholesterol) and found no consistent relation­ship between lowering LDL with statins and death, heart attack or stroke. The results contradict the prevailing view that there is a “strong ‘linear’ relationship between lowering LDL-cholesterol and cardiovascular outcomes from statin therapy.” The authors concluded that “the benefits of statins were minimal, and most of the trial participants who took statins derived no clinical benefit.” Not to mention that most statin users suffer serious side effects such as muscle wast­ing, erectile dysfunction, memory loss, tremors and other neurological problems.

TARGETING SALT

The Diet Dictocrats, led by Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, dean of the Tufts University Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, are determined to reduce your salt consumption. New FDA guidelines aim to reduce salt consumption to 3000 milligrams per day, a big step toward their goal of 2300 milligrams, or one teaspoon of salt daily—an amount that is lower than the human adult requirement for sodium and chloride. (We need at least one and one-half teaspoons of salt per day, and many people do better on double that amount.) Mozaffarian wants to starve you of salt but ensure that you consume lots of vegetable oils. In 2011, he co-authored a study that found that out of all the foods examined, potato chips were most strongly asso­ciated with weight gain—Mozaffar­ian blames the salt, not the vegetable oils that the pota­toes are fried in. In 2014, Mozaffarian co-authored a meta-analysis that examined the association between saturated fat consumption and risk of heart disease. The study concluded that the evidence “does not clearly support guidelines that encourage high consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids and low consumption of total saturated fats.” However, Mozaffarian told Science Insider, “Personally, I think the results suggest that fish and vegetable oils should be encouraged” (wikipedia.org/wiki/Dariush_ Mozaffarian). So personally, Mozaffarian thinks we need to starve ourselves (and our children) of salt. How will the food industry accomplish this feat and still make processed food tasty enough to eat? With a nasty little additive called Senomyx, grown on aborted fetal cell lines, which tricks the taste buds into thinking they are tasting salt—unabeled because such tiny quantities are needed. All the major food companies are already adding Senomyx to their products, which include most sodas and energy drinks, many brands of coffee and tea, juice products, snack foods including chips and pretzels, chewing gum, crackers, soups, condiments, dry cereal, cookies, bars, rice cakes, ice cream, baby food, jello, Miracle Whip, mayonnaise, nuts, pancake mixes and syrup and pet foods (kingdomclaritylabel, June 18, 2021). No one knows what effect Senomyx has on the hypothalamus and other glands, but one thing is for sure—use of Senomyx will lead to even more weight gain and obesity as consumers eat and eat and eat to satisfy their body’s requirement for salt.

EMF AND BACTERIA

A study funded by U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has found that bacteria, including staphy­lococcus aureus biofilms, communicate using frequencies that are in the range used by Wi-Fi and 5G C-band (from 2-6 GHz, frequen­cies used in homes and hospitals). This may affect the abil­it y of so-called pathogens to do their work (ieeex­plore.ieee.org/doc­ument/9771271). At 18 GHz, wireless radiation increases DNA damage in bacteria, but rod-shaped and spore-forming bacteria are more resistant to DNA damage. Bacteria associated with good health, and nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soils, are most affected by the effects of wireless radiation (Researchgate. net, December, 2014).

5G AND COVID-19

More epidemiological evidence is emerging to support the theory that the major cause of Covid-19 is exposure to 5G high millimeter wave (mmW) frequencies of 30 to 300 GHz. A recent study compared Covid-19 cases and deaths in areas with 5G mmW and those without 5G mmW. In three different analyses—in all fifty states, the country’s largest counties, and the largest counties in California—the 5G mmW index was a statistically significant factor for the higher death rates, while population density, air quality and latitude were significant for only two or one of the analyses (magdahavas. com, April 22, 2020). For example, for state averages, deaths per million were 94 percent higher. The results show that exposure to 5G mmW technology is statistically significant in regard to higher Covid-19 case and death rates in the United States.

THE DEATH SHOT

As of January 15, 2022, the European database records almost forty thousand deaths and over three million inju­ries, almost half of them serious, following Covid shots. Injuries include cardiac disorders; eye disorders (including blindness); and liver, lung, kidney and digestive problems (tinyurl.com/ycftjbwg). In the U.S., at least four thousand women reported losing their unborn or newborn child fol­lowing Covid-19 vaccination in the sixteen months following emergency use authorization. By comparison fewer than six hundred women have lost their unborn or new-born child following flu vaccination since 1990, a period of over thirty years (dailyexpose.uk, November 4 2020). Many recent stud­ies have reported the occurrence of stroke after administra­tion of Covid-19 vaccination (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/ PMC8894799). The CEO of OneAmerica life insurance agency reports that deaths are up 40 percent among people ages eighteen to sixty-four since the rollout of the Covid shots (thecentersquare.com, January 1, 2022). Finally, almost seven hundred vaccinated athletes have died from cardiac arrest; the average pre-Covid was sixty-six deaths per year (https:// nexusnewsfeed.com/article/health-healing/1-044-athlete-cardiac-arrests-683-dead-all-with-covid-shots/). As the statistics emerge, the message is clear: the Covid vaccines are deadly. Just say No!

EMF AND THE BONES

A new risk of EMF exposure has emerged: osteoporosis and broken bones. As reported on cellphonetaskforce.org (May 2022), several studies indicate the deleterious effect of frequent EMF exposure on the bones. A 2016 study in Turkey found that electrical workers had significantly lower bone mass density and increased tendency to severe osteoporosis than a control population—in men with an average age of thirty-eight! In an experiment in Poland, rats were exposed to a total of four minutes of a turned-on mobile phone for twenty-eight days. On autopsy, the vertebrae of the exposed rats weighed on average 12.5 percent less than the vertebrae of an unexposed control group. Another study from Turkey exposed rats whose legs had been broken to mobile phone radiation for thirty minutes per day, five days per week, for eight weeks. At the end of eight weeks, healing was signifi­cantly delayed in the exposed compared to the unexposed rats. Finally, a study from Argentina found that men who carried their phone on their right hip had lower bone mass density in their right hip than in their left hip; and men who carried their phone on their left hip had lower bone mass den­sity in their left hip. The message is clear: for strong bones, avoid EMF exposure as much as possible, while sticking to the WAPF recipe for strong bones: raw milk, grass-fed but­ter and cod liver oil.

TRAVEL CHAOS

Over the four-day Memorial Day weekend, seven thousand flights were canceled worldwide, while all major airlines are reducing their flight schedules (https://www.cbsnews.com/ news/flights-cancelled-memorial-day-weekend-2022-trav­el/). The airlines blame Covid illness in pilots and other staff. Since well over 90 percent of airline employees got vaccinated, it’s a good assumption that a large percentage of these illnesses are occurring in the vaccinated. Meanwhile, eighteen major airlines, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Transportation face lawsuits from pilots over Covid vaccine mandates (CHD.org).
