102: Donald Miller, MD on Cardiovascular Disease and Diet Part 1 | Welcome back for another enlightening episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast for the fifth episode of a special series on Cardiovascular Disease and Diet. Donald Miller is back here today as my featured guest. Dr. Miller, a cardiac surgeon and Professor of Surgery at the University of Washington School of Medicine. A few year ago, Professor Miller became aware that the irrational postoperative dietary advice, which promotes high carbohydrate and low fat diet, was responsible for the poor outcome of his patients after having a successful surgery. For improving his patients’ postoperative outcome, he has promoted low carbohydrate, high fat diet in his dietary advice. Professor Miller has researched the roles of cholesterol in our body, and criticized the hypothesis of evil cholesterol. To keep a healthy cardiovascular system for us, we must understand that a higher level of cholesterol does not necessarily increase the risk of acute cardiovascular event. We all need to learn more from Professor Miller’s interesting and yet important information. Let us tune in now for the interview. About Professor Donald Miller: As a professor of surgery, I teach cardiac surgery at the University of Washington School of Medicine and the Seattle VA Medical Center. As a physician, I research and write articles on the importance of natural and nutritional medicine for maintaining optimum health. I also study and write articles about history, philosophy, book collecting, medical and legal evidence, politics, and various orthodoxies in the climate and biomedical sciences.

100: Mark Houston MD, PhD. on Cardiovascular Disease and Diet Part 1 | The Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast Show presents its 100th episode today. Since its premier episode on June 16, 2010, I, with my producer, Mr. Kevin Kennedy-Spaien, have continued to present you a show weekly without interruption. It is remarkable! I am very proud of the work that Kevin and I have done thus far. The sole driving force in my efforts is to help you understand the dark side of carbohydrate foods, which have hurt your health and you and your parents did not know about. Although I cannot promise you how long I am going to continue my effort, I hope you will continue to support my effort and help me spread my message to your loved ones, friends, and colleagues for the sake of making them healthy by eating healthy foods. In today’s show, I am honored to have Mark C. Houston, M.D. as my featured guest for the third episode of a special series on Cardiovascular Disease and Diet. As you have known, coronary heart disease is the major health concern. Preventing coronary heart disease is the top priority for everyone, especially those of us who are health-conscious. To prevent coronary heart disease requires us to understand its risk factors and avoid them in the first place. In this interview, I am going to ask Dr. Houston about the risk factors, which include inflammation, oxidation, and immune functions, and how they could be avoided with optimal diet, exercise, weight loss, and a good prevention program. Even if you think that you have known all about them mentioned above, you would find it a great benefit by listening to what Dr. Houston and I will discuss in this interview.

99: Dwight Lundell, M.D. on Cardiovascular Disease and Diet, Part 2 | Beginning last week, I have been producing a special series on Cardiovascular Disease and Diet for the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast Show. I have the honor of inviting Dr. Dwight Lundell, M.D. back here as my featured guest for the conclusion of our very interesting conversation. The cardiovascular system, like other systems of the body, is subject to disease development by improper diet. Contrary to the conventional wisdom that cholesterol plays a major role in impacting the health of the cardiovascular system, an increasing number of evidence has shown inflammation is the real culprit of cardiovascular diseases. It is important to understand that without inflammation, cholesterol alone does not cause cardiovascular disease. And, it is more important to recognize where the inflammation starts. The answer is hyperglycemia. Dr. Lundel was so disappointed with his successful career in cardiovascular surgery because he found that his skillful surgical technique did not prevent his patients from recurrence of cardiovascular disease. I am going to ask Dr. Lundell to help us understand about cholesterol, statins, and cardiovascular disease. Are you ready for this interesting interview? Let’s start. About Dwight Lundell, M.D. Dr. Lundell is a retired cardiac surgeon. While performing more than 5,000 cases of cardiac surgeries, he was increasingly dissatisfied with the fact cardiac surgeries could never stop an increasing number of new cardiac disease and recurrences. After doing his own research and literature research, he found cardiac surgery is just a patch-up job. To help prevent cardiac disease, he understood that the dietary approach is most important and effective. In 2003, he left his successful practice of over 25 years and entered a new practice with teaching his patients about how they can prevent heart disease with diet, which, interestingly, is rich in fat and low in carbohydrate. With the findings of his research, he disputes the role of cholesterol in the development of coronary artery disease. He has published two books, “The Cholesterol Lie” and “The Cure for Heart Disease.” http://truthaboutheartdisease.org/dr-dwight-lundell/ Order my book: Carbohydrates Can Kill.

93: Drs. Klement and Kämmerer on Restricting Carbohydrates for Cancer Treatments | In the finale of the special series on “Carbohydrates and Cancer” today, for the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast Show, Rainer Klement, PhD and Ulrike Kämmerer, PhD are my featured guests. Both both Dr. Klement and Professor Kämmerer are working at the University of Würzburg, in Würzburg, Germany. As I have continued to review literatures including those are related to cancer etiology and treatment, I came across an excellent article by Dr. Klement and Professor Kämmerer, “Is there a role for carbohydrate restriction in the treatment and prevention of cancer?” On October 31, 2011, I wrote an article for this website in affirming their findings. I was subsequently connected to this pair of brilliant cancer researchers, and discovered the interesting story of Dr. Lucy Kunz, who was interview on this podcast on last Wednesday, March 14, 2012. Each of Professor Kämmerer and Dr. Klement has had a unique personal journey, which motivated them to joining the fight against cancer. I am going to ask them lots of questions about the relationship between carbohydrates and cancer. I trust you want to know about their answers to my questions. Let us tune in now for this interesting and informative episode! About Professor Ulrike Kämmerer After Dr. Ulrike Kämmerer finished her PhD thesis in Biology (about myocarditis and picornaviruses) at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, she worked as a PostDoc at the Universities of Tübingen and Dresden. In 1996 she joined the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of the University of Würzburg, where she predominantly worked as reproductive biologist with her main focus on human reproduction and the role of dendritic cells therein. As “side” projects several ontological aspects were in the research area as well, especially the remarkable similarity between the benign human placenta and malign tumors. This in the end led to the focus on metabolism of invasive cells and to the question, how the remarkable lactic acid production of malign cells could be influenced by specific therapies. Due to missing medical approaches, nutrition came into the focus. As a result, a ketogenic diet seemed to be a remarkable tool to positively influence the situation of a cancer patient. This was tested in a first small study and the experimental work with sugar metabolism and the nutrition of cancer patients in now the main focus of her work. Having learned from intensive literature research and own experimental data, she changed her diet in 2007 to a very low carbohydrate to ketogenic diet and still felt very well on this nutrition with all laboratory parameters having changed to the very best and feeling able to scope with the multiple tasks in teaching, research and doing lots of administrative work for her department. About Rainer Klement, PhD After graduating with a Diplom in physics from the University of Heidelberg in 2005, Dr. Rainer Klement started doing research as a Ph.D. student at the Max-Planck-Institute for Astronomy (MPIA), situated on top of the “Koenigstuhl” above the famous castle of Heidelberg. He mainly worked on identifying stellar streams, which are groups of stars travelling on similar orbits through the Milky Way and are though to be remnants of former satellite galaxies that got disrupted by the Milky Way’s tidal field. He initiated a planet search campaign that lead to the discovery of the first “extra-Galactic” planet HIP13044b (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIP_13044_b) After receiving his Ph.D. in Astronomy in 2008 he continued to work as a Postdoc at the MPIA for two years as part of the European Space Agency’s GAIA satellite mission. During that time, Dr. Klement undertook an advanced course in medical physics at the German Cancer Reseach Center in Heidelberg, realizing that this could provide the opportunity to combine his background in physics with his general interest in medical topics.

92: Lucy Kunz, PhD – Carbohydrate Restriction Helps Fight My Cancer | Lucy Kunz, Ph.D. is my featured guest for today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast Show, which is the third episode of a special series on Carbohydrates and Cancer. As I cited in the JEV News on March 2, 2012, that “more cancer victims need to give carbohydrate restriction or ketogenic diet a try for the sake of improving their odd of winning the battle against cancer.” Here is Dr Kunz the person in point! Dr. Kunz, an American/German world class swimming champion, was found having ovarian cancers on December 1, 2003, but refused to give herself up to the evil disease. Despite that she has had many surgeries, chemotherapies, and courses of radiation during the last eight years, she has continued to swim and compete in many swimming contests, from which she has won so many medals. For the last two years, she has adopted carbohydrate-restricted diet under the guidance from a team including Ulrike Kämmerer, PhD, Rainer Klement, PhD, and others. Up to date, her PET Scan on November 16th, 2011, which shows no tumor growth, in comparing with one done on June 8th, 2011. In this interview, I am going to ask Dr. Kunz about her experience in fighting against cancer. I bet you want to listen to it . Let’s tune in now! About Lucy Kunz, PhD: Excerpt from the German Newspaper Main Post, January 31st, 2009, Nr. 25, SWT Page 17, Local Sports (translated by Lucy Kunz, PhD.) English Translation of “Eine Weltmeisterin und ihr harter Kampf” A World Champion Swimmer and her Fight to Win: Schonungen resident and art historian Lucy Kunz swims to beat her main opponent—cancer Known for her American accent, the smile on her face and the kind words she always finds for others, Dr. Lucy Kunz, director of the swimming programm for Schweinfurt’s largest sports association, is well-known and well-liked not only in the pools where she trains but far beyond them. The American-born trainer is greeted warmly by the life guards at the local pool „Das Silvana“, given a New Year’s gift from the Silvana’s restaurant, and generous help from an instructor in styling her hair for the press photos. For the first time, the current world champion and record holder in life saving swimming speaks openly about her difficult battle with cancer, as well as her hopes and goals. It was last year, in June of 2008, during the competition in Berlin, Germany, when Kunz became a world champion in life saving swimming. (1) She swam the 200 meter race in obstacle swimming in the wold record time of 2:49.58, breaking the previous record by a over 14 seconds. The German Secretary of Commerce, Michael Glos, wrote a letter of congratulation in which he praised the willpower and iron discipline with which she was able to assert herself in this swimming meet amongst 4000 competitors. In the previous years Kunz has won gold, silver and bronze medals in German Masters competitions. In the year 2008 alone she earned eight gold medals in Bavarian championships. In addition, she was a multiple winner in the German International Championships for the Handicapped, in which she participed in the category AB („generally handicapped“). That she has accomplished all of this is especially remarkable in light of her recent background: the 53 year old has had to live with the diagnosis of ovarian cancer and the continually required therapies since November of 2003. At the invitation of Dr. Johannes Dietl, Professor and Director of the Women’s Clinik, University of Würzburg, she composed an essay entitled: „ I live and I swim with the Diagnosis Cancer.“ Kunz was born in Salem, Oregon and has lived in Germany since the early 1980′s when she studied at the University of Münich with a Rotary International Scholarship. She now lives in Schonungen, near Schweinfurt, with her husband and three children. She trains three to four times a week in addition to the many hours of teaching at the pool. During her 100 days of chemotherapy, which began in the summer of 2004,[...] | 14 3 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

91: Professor Thomas Seyfried on Carbohydrates and Cancer | In today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast Show, I am presenting to you the second episode of a specially series on Carbohydrates and Cancer. I am greatly honored to have Professor Thomas Seyfried as my featured guest. To effectively preventing and treating diseases, we must first know their etiology that helps create the best clinical strategies. Unfortunately, exploring the etiology of diseases is difficult in most of the cases. The hope of a breakthrough with a correct study result or results is even slimmer, if the direction of a study is wrong, based on a wrong hypothesis. In addition, the study conclusion could be skewed because of mishandlings in the study method and interpretation. Therefore, sound hypotheses are an important and only come from those researchers and clinicians who are brave to break themselves away from the mainstream and work hard for finding the truth. Professor Seyfried and his coworkers have devoted to cancer research particularly in the association between diet and cancer. I am sure that, like myself, you want to hear what Professor Seyfried is going to share with us his knowledge in this important topic. About Professor Thomas Seyfried: Professor Seyfried received his Ph.D. in Genetics and Biochemistry from the University of Illinois, Urbana, in 1976. Dr. Seyfried served as a Chemist and Bacteriologist in the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Neurology at the Yale University School of Medicine, and he went on to serve as an Assistant Professor in Neurology in the same department while at Yale. Prior to receiving full professorship, Dr. Seyfried was an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at Boston College. Dr. Seyfried also served with distinction in the United States Army during the Vietnam War, receiving numerous medals and commendations. Other awards and honors have come from such diverse organizations as the American Oil Chemists Society, the National Institutes of Health, the American Society for Neurochemistry, and the Ketogenic Diet Special Interest Group of the American Epilepsy Society. Dr. Seyfried has participated on the editorial board of the Journal of Neurochemistry, and is presently on the editorial boards of Nutrition and Metabolism, Neurochemical Research, the Journal of Lipid Research and ASN Neuro. Dr. Seyfried’s research program focuses on gene environmental interactions related to complex diseases, such as epilepsy, autism, brain cancer, and neurodegenerative (the GM1 and GM2 gangliosidoses) diseases. He also recently served as chair, Scientific Advisory Committee, National Tay-Sachs & Allied Disease Association. His laboratory explores neurological disease management using lipid biochemistry and principles of metabolic control theory. This theory is based on the idea that compensatory brain metabolic pathways are capable of modifying the pathogenesis of complex diseases despite the continued presence of the genetic or environmental defects responsible for the disease. By shifting the brain metabolic environment, diet and drug therapies can potentially mask or neutralize molecular pathology. The diet therapies used include caloric restriction, fasting, and the low carbohydrate, high fat, ketogenic diet. These diseases include epilepsy, autism, cancer, and lipid storage disease. The goal is to manage complex diseases with non-toxic therapies that have immediate translational benefit to the clinic. Order my book: CarbohydratesCanKill. Want to support my campaign?

90: Robert Su, MD on Carbohydrates and Cancer | On today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast Show, I am presenting to you the premiere episode of a special series on Carbohydrates and Cancer. As I continue to review literatures in a broad spectrum, I have a keen interest in several subjects, which include mental disorders, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, cancer, and so on. Other than that I frequently write about these subjects, I have also wanted to invite experts in the respective subjects to this podcast for sharing their expertise with you and me. I always hope that, with my passion, I can help many of you become aware of the importance of each disease in our lives and be actively preventing diseases from happening. As a physician, I have encountered so many patients who lost lives to cancers. I felt so helplessly, because a majority of my colleagues has not known that carbohydrates have a dangerous role in cancer development and metastasis. They still think that cancer is a deadly disease with no hope in prevention or treatment. Now, I want you to know THAT IS FALSE! Just tune in and listen to what I want to share with you now.

87: Guilio Pasinetti, MD, PhD on Diet and Alzheimer’s disease | Professor Guilio Maria Pasinetti is my featured guest for the fourth episode of the special Alzheimer’s series on today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast Show. So far, we have been discussing Alzheimer’s disease and carbohydrates in an interviewing with Stephanie Seneff, PhD, to learn about the association between Alzheimer’s disease and cholesterol, and with Mary Newport, MD, for listening to her personal experience in taking care of her husband, Steve, who has suffered with Alzheimer’s disease. Today I am very excited and honored to have Professor Pasinetti here with me to sharing both his clinical experience as a neuropsychiatrist and his research findings as an academician on Alzheimer’s disease. His discussion is expected to reaffirm the link between Alzheimer’s disease and carbohydrates. This is going to be a very informative interview that you absolutely do not want to pass up! About Giulio Maria Pasinetti, MD, Ph.D Dr. Pasinetti is Professor of Psychiatry and Professor of Neuroscience at Mount Sinai School of Medicine (MSSM) and Professor of Geriatrics and Adult Development at The Brookdale Department of Geriatrics and Adult Development. He is on the U.S. Army Advisory Board, Neurotoxin Research program. He is Director of Basic and Biomedical Research and Training, Geriatric Research, Education and Clinical Center, Bronx Veterans Affairs Medical Center and Director of Translational Neuroscience Laboratories, Bronx Veterans Affairs Medical Center. He has completed research for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. The primary research goal in his lab is to investigate the biological processes which occur when, during aging, subjects with normal cognitive functions convert into the very earliest stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and then to frank dementia. His long-term goal is to improve the diagnosis of patients who are in the very earliest stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and to identify early molecular neurobiological abnormalities so that effective pharmacological treatments to slow or halt disease progression can be developed. Toward this goal, he has initiated a series of studies to characterize gene activities in the brain of early AD cases and animal model system of AD neuropathology, using high throughput cDNA and microarray genomic studies. His recent studies have found that the expression of genes involved in synaptic functions, cell cycle, transcription/translation control and cytoskeleton/cell adhesion, may play an important role in the onset and possibly the clinical progression of Alzheimer’s disease dementia. He is presently characterizing the functional role of these abnormal expressed genes in the brain using experimental gene therapy and transgenic mouse models of AD type neuropathology. Giulio is a member of the Career Development Committee at the Department of Veterans Affairs, the NDNG Study Section Committee at NIH, the NCCAM Study Section Committee at NIH, the ZAT1 DB16 Study Section Committee at NIH, the National Scientific Board at the Alzheimer’s Association, the National Scientific Advisory Council at AFAR, the Scientific Advisory Board at Medical Marketing Research International, UK, the Australia Advisory Board at the National Health and Medical Research Council, Alzheimer Forschung Initiative e.V.

86: Dr. Mary Newport on Alzheimer’s Disease: What If There Was A Cure? | In the third episode of a special podcast series on Alzheimer’s disease, I have the honor of having Mary T. Newport, M.D. here as my featured guest on today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill podcast show. Dr. Newport, a neonatologist (physician who specializes in newborn health), has become very knowledgeable regarding Alzheimer’s disease, which is a disease supposedly related to aging, because she has to take care of her husband who sufferes with this terrible disease. As I mentioned in Episode 84 of this podcast on January 18, 2012, we have found amyloid plaques in the brain of the patient with Alzheimer’s disease. However, we have also found reducing or eliminating the amyloid plaque formation does not stop the symptoms of the disease from deteriorating. It is true that restricting carbohydrate consumption could improve the symptoms, likely because of the formation of beta-hydroxybutyrates, which is a ketone body. Nevertheless, consuming medium-chain triglycerides could even facilitate the formation of beta-hydroxybutyrate in the liver, therefore, “may be” helpful in improving the symptoms. Through her personal experience in taking care of her husband, Steve, she is the person who can offer us the first hand knowledge about What If There Was a Cure for Alzheimer’s Disease and No One Knew?” Let’s start our interview with Dr. Newport now! About Mary T. Newport, M.D. Mary T. Newport, M.D. grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, attended Xavier University for pre-medicine, and graduated from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine in 1978. She was trained in Pediatrics at Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, and completed her fellowship in neonatology, the care of sick and premature newborns, at the Medical University Hospital in Charleston, SC. She has practiced neonatology in Florida since 1983 and has been medical director of the newborn intensive care unit at Spring Hill Regional Hospital since opening in 2003. Dr. Newport is employed by the All Children’s Specialty Physicians group, who provide newborn services to Spring Hill Regional Hospital. She is also volunteer clinical faculty for the Department of Pediatrics, University of South Florida since January 2004. She previously practiced neonatology and served as medical director at Mease Hospital Dunedin, after founding the newborn intensive care unit at that hospital in 1987. Dr. Newport has been married to Steve Newport since 1972 and they have two daughters and a grandson. She has written an article, “What If There Was a Cure for Alzheimer’s Disease and No One Knew?” relaying her family’s experience with this disease and her research into a dietary intervention that may benefit persons with Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. September 27, 2011 marks the date of the release of her book, Alzheimer’s Disease: What If There Was A Cure? Dr, Mary T.

85: Stephanie Seneff, PhD on Alzheimer’s Disease and Cholesterol | In today’s podcast, I am presenting you the second episode of a special podcast series on Alzheimer’s disease. Stephanie Seneff, PhD of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is my featured guest on the Carbohydrates Can Kill podcast. Dr. Seneff is going to discuss the role of cholesterol in the development of Alzheimer’s disease. As I told you in Episode 84 of this podcast on January 18, 2012, there are studies on Alzheimer’s disease that report an inverse correlation between the value of total serum cholesterol and the severity of loss of cognitive functions. While we understand that an increase in VLDL and some subgroup of LDLs, as well as triglycerides is the risk factors for atherosclerosis and other diseases, we realize an increase in total serum cholesterol, which includes HDLs and some “healthy” LDLs, should not be a risk factor without further investigation. Despite some articles sponsored, by pharmaceutical companies, claim the benefit of statin drugs on dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, we cannot help but doubting about the mechanism behind the claim(s). I am going to ask Dr. Seneff more about the impact of cholesterol on the development of Alzheimer’s disease. I can sense how much you want to know about this disease.

82: Adele Hite, MPH, on 2010 Dietary Guidelines Independent Scientific Review Panel | I wish you a Healthy, Happy, and Prosperous New Year. I am very happy to have Ms. Adele Hite back to join me on today’s episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast as my featured guest. She and I will discuss what was going on behind the doors of the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC), whose members decided what the American people should eat for good health. Ms. Hite, joined by Ms. Pam Schoenfeld, came to this podcast, “19: Pam Schoenfeld and Adele Hite: The 2010 USDA Food Pyramid Proposal Is Wrong” on October 20, 2010, to discuss why the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans is counter to science and harmful to Americans’ health. Despite the fact that Ms. Hite and several concerned physicians, scientists, nutritionists and citizens voiced their objections to the guidelines, the US Department of Agriculture and Department of Health and Human Services went ahead to implement these dangerous public policies. To help explain what has been going on behind the closed doors of the DGAC, Ms. Hite has collected a volume of information that illustrates why both the USDA and HHS have been so adamant in enacting these poor health policies. When you and I hear what Ms. Hite will share with us, I am convinced that we will all wish to take charge in keeping ourselves healthy! Let us tune into this interesting and serious interview.

79: Erin Chamerlik of Get Better Wellness | Ms. Erin Chamerlik is my featured guest for today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast. Ms. Chamerlik is host of A talk-radio show, “Get Better Wellness.” She is going to talk about “Holistic Nutrition.” While I have continued to share my messages with many of you here that diabetes mellitus is a preventable disease, which is detrimental to whomever became one of the victims and would squeal, “Why me? Why me!” However, I have also learned that many of you may not believe that you would ever become a diabetic, because you were healthy and invincible and could eat anything, which contains sugars and high amount of carbohydrates. But, I want you to understand that those who are diabetics now were used to be healthy and not believe that they would become diabetics one day. And, unfortunately, they had. However, if a diabetic victim would carefully restrict carbohydrate foods, he might have the chance to reverse the progression of his diabetes mellitus, although I am not talking about a chance of curing his diabetes mellitus. Ms. Chamerlik, a reversed diabetic, is interested in helping others reverse the course of diabetes mellitus. She interviewed me on her radio show on October 17, 2011, for reversing diabetes mellitus. Today, she is going to continue our discussion “holistic nutrition.” I bet that you want to know more about that too. Let us tune in and start the show now!

78: Attorney Steve Shoulberg and Dr. James Carlson on Carbohydrate Restriction as A Modality Under the Standard of Care | In today’s episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast, I have Mr. Steve Shoulberg and Dr. James Carlson as my special guests to discuss “Carbohydrate Restriction as A Modality Under the Standard of Care.” As we have seen more people are getting heavier, becoming diabetics, and suffering various diseases during the recent decades, many more of us are trying to avoid falling victims to or to recover from such a health hazard by switching to carbohydrate-restricted diet. An increasing number of physicians has also become aware of the erroneous teachings in the relationship between carbohydrate consumption and its ill impacts on their patients’ health, and wish to incorporate carbohydrate restriction as a modality in their practice. However, physicians are concerned about how this new modality is treated under the standard of care. On November 29, 2011, the Center of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that it would cover a year’s worth of obesity counseling for Medicare patients. In the wake of such a meaningful initiative by the CMS, the need of clarifying is more pressing than ever that how physicians can incorporate the carbohydrate restriction approach into their practice for helping their patients for weight loss and restoring their patients’ health. Mr. Shoulberg’s legal expertise and Dr. Carlson’s comments should be very educational for all of us, both the lay public and the physician alike. Let’s tune in and listen to this rare podcast episode. References for Mr. Shoulberg’s interview; 1. Medical Liability in a Nutshell (West Publishing) Marcia Boumil 2.

76: The Co-Authors of Low-Carbing Among Friends | My interview on my last podcast, Episode 75, with Mr. Ian and Mrs. Jennifer Eloff for their work on a new cookbook, Low Carbing Among Friends, has received a very enthusiastic response from many of you. Today, I have the four coauthors of the cookbook, Mr. Kent Altena, Ms. Maria Emmerich, Ms. Caroline Ketchum, and Ms. Lisa Marshall, as my featured guests. I wrote my book, Carbohydrates Can Kill, only after I had successfully lost weight and observed improvements in various aspects of my health, as well as “unearthed” more than a thousand of scientific literatures that all point out the detrimental health impacts of carbohydrates. As you may suspect, many authors of cookbooks must have some personal experience and interest that motivate them to explore and write recipes. To no exception, each of these four coauthors has their own individual encounters and want to share with you the results of their exploration in creating delicious dishes while in carbohydrate restriction. I have had the opportunity of peeking into this cookbook and feel I am greatly honored to have them on this show. I am anxious to learn more about their personal stories in related to carbohydrate restriction. Their stories should help all of us reiterate the reason or reasons that we have for adopting the dietary style of low-carbing. I bet you too want to listen to them now!

75: Jennifer and Ian Eloff | Today, I have an interesting couple, Mr. Ian and Mrs. Jennifer Eloff, as the featured guests of today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill Show. Mrs. Eloff is a regular blogger and author of seven cookbooks with three best sellers. Mr. Eloff is an information technology specialist-turned publisher. I have been sharing my knowledge in carbohydrate restriction with you and my professional and social circles, many people would come to me and ask if I have a recipe or two for sharing with them. I surely have a few, which I can readily give out. However, I always wish that I have many more in my collection. I also realize that my like is not necessarily someone else’s. Therefore, I need of a well of lots of recipes to choose from for people who have different taste. Mrs. Eloff and four recipe writers have joined in writing a cookbook in combining the specialties of each of them. Mr. Eloff as a publisher is certainly fits well among these five talents. Today, I am going to ask Mr. and Mrs. Eloff about what the motivation is to drive them doing such an unusual and brilliant work. I am sure that the six individual’s stories will be your driving force in adopting the low-carb dietary style.

Joining Mr. Naughton, two of his fans, Ms. Miller and Mr. Harkness, are also here as my guests in the Listener’s Roundtable Discussion #9, Diet and health seem to be very simple matters in our daily life. But, so many questions surrounding the association between them are yet to be discovered. To better understand these matters, we must continue to carefully observe the consequence of every initiative. Sharing the observed results with others helps us piece the puzzle of diet and health together. In that direction, I have always enjoyed the Listener’s Roundtable Discussion with my guests who would bring me lots of initiatives and outcomes that could be impossible for my to learn by myself. All of my guests today have promised that they were going to talk about something very interesting. You are anxious to find out what they are going to talk about, right? Okay, let us start our interview with them now! Links: http://www.fathead-movie.com/ | 9 11 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

73: Dr. Uffe Ravnskov on The Truth and Issues of Cholesterol. | Dr. Uffe Ravnskov is my featured guest of today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast Show. During the recent decades, cholesterol has become a household name. Everyone is talking about how much his cholesterol is, how much his bad cholesterols are, and how much his good cholesterols are. Everyone is worried about his risk of atherosclerosis, which affects all arteries including those of the heart, neck, brain, aorta, and others. Most of them understands that atherosclerosis is a disease with cholesterol deposit on the vascular wall. With that understanding, they want to make sure their cholesterol numbers are lower. Otherwise, their physicians would definitely go after them for prescribing with Statins. But, wait. Is it true that you have a high cholesterol number means you are having a high risk of cardiovascular diseases? I know you would like to know the answer, and want to have it now! Dr. Ravnskov is an internist specialized in kidney disease (nephrology), and a vast knowledge in cholesterol and its related issues. Of course, he is the best person, from whom you would want to learn the answer to you question. What are we waiting for?

Darlene Kvist In my weekly blog article, “Carbohydrate Addiction”, published on October 24, 2011, I pointed out the potential addiction of carbohydrate foods, especially those of which high in glycemic indices and glycemic loads. Among these foods, sugar is the most dangerous. I have seen many people and their physicians have failed to recognize such disastrous health impact, which is a result of hyperglycemia. These people and their physicians continue to allow the addicts to feed themselves with many carbohydrate foods, especially sugars, for extending the vicious cycle of addiction. When sugar addiction happens in children who have no knowledge about food choice, their parents’ must be equipped with sound judgment in selecting healthy foods for the children. As the traditional Halloween festivity is approaching, we all should be vigilant in preventing ourselves but also our children from suffering with sugar addiction. Jill Escher Ms. Escher is the organizer of a campaign, the first “Sugar Addiction Awareness Day October 30, 2011.” She is a former sugar addict and has been actively helping prevent others from falling into the same trap, from which she has successfully escaped with lots of efforts. Ms. Kvist is a nutritionist who joins Ms. Escher in this important movement with her enormous knowledge in carbohydrate addiction. I am very anxious to learn more from both of them about sugar addiction. I trust you too want to hear what they are going to share with us. Let us start our interview now!

71: Kimberly Hartke on Dairy Policy | Ms. Kimberly Hartke is my featured guest for today’s Carbohydares Can Kill Podcast Show. Ms. Hartke is a publicist at The Weston A. Price Foundation. With her personal use of fresh farm products including raw milk, Ms. Hartke has been working very hard for protecting the individual’s rights in purchasing farm products directly from local, small farmers. Because of the politics, many small, privately owned farms are forced to close their businesses, under the laws and regulations lobbied by the financially powerful, large farming corporations. Most of us have not been aware of these laws and regulations, until such time when we are unable to purchase farm product from our local farmer. Some of these laws and regulations may be enacted in good intention for protecting the public’s interest. However, some of these laws and regulations may be enacted as a result of protecting the interest of the powerful farming corporations, and deny the individual’s rights in free commerce. Admittedly, I, like you, am unfamiliar with the issues surrounding these laws and regulations, which govern our local, small farmers and our rights in free commerce. Please join me and tune in now to hear what Ms. Hartke will share with us her knowledge in these issues.

69: Fred Hahn on Strength Training for Seniors | It is my honor to have Mr. Fred Hahn come back to a special podcast series of Carbohydrates Can Kill Show on Geriatric Medicine: strength Training and Seniors. This episode is the last of the special series. While it is true that studies have shown exercise is not prerequisite for weight loss with the carbohydrate-restricted diet. However, evidences have shown that proper exercise would help utilize blood glucose and lower the blood glucose level, which is important not in the efforts of losing weight but is also critical in reducing the risks of developing diseases such as, but not limited to, diabetes mellitus, arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis, hypertension, and et cetera. Besides, only through exercise, one can keep his physical condition especially his muscles and their strength at the optimum. This is particularly true in the case with the geriatric population. Mr. Hahn is an expert in physical training who has a great knowledge in helping people especially seniors reshape their body. I am excited about this great opportunity of learning from him about how we should strengthen our body. I bet you are also interested in hearing from Mr. Hahn about strength training.

68: Michael Fox M.D. on Geriatric Gynecology and Carbohydrate Consumption | Welcome to the Carbohydrates Can Kill Show. Today Dr. Su is joined by Michael Fox, MD as they discuss the effect of carbohydrate consumption on women’s health issues, particularly in regards to PMS, Menopause and post-menopause. While addressing the importance of men’s health concerning prostate cancer, women’s health is also one of the foci of this special series on geriatric medicine. Of course, gynecological problems are the diseases, about which the female geriatric population is most concerned. These gynecological diseases include cancers of the female reproductive system. Apparently, there is a line, with which we can unquestionably draw separate the women who need obstetric care in addition to gynecological care from the women who no longer need obstetric care. Notably, both obstetric and gynecological disorders involve the same organs – the reproductive system, there is a link between the diseases of the two subspecialties – obstetrics and gynecology. We have known how carbohydrates, especially in excess consumption, affect the obstetrical health. Links between carbohydrates and the gynecological disorders are highly possible. Dr. Fox, a obstetrician/gynecologist, who specialized in reproductive endocrinology and infertilities, is the right expert for this special topic, Geriatric Gynecology and Carbohydrate Consumption. I am very excited about this interview. And, I bet you are too. Let us go ahead to tune in for this informative discussion now!

67: Stephen Freedland, MD on the Effects of Carbs on Prostate Health | Stephen J. Freedland, M.D. is my special guest of today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill Show for the fourth episode of a special podcast series on Geriatric Medicine. Dr. Freedland is associate professor of surgery and pathology, Duke University School of Medicine. One of his special research interests is prostate cancer, in addition to obesity, nutrition, and diet. As one of the well publicized cancers for men, prostate cancer had invaded 217,730 males in 2010, and took away 32,050 lives. It was more than one out 10 patients with this notorious cancer lost his fight. Besides, prostate cancer does not only happen in the elder population, but is also found in the younger males. Of the total number of patients with prostate cancer in 2010, 0.6% were found in males between 35 and 44 years of age, 9.1% in males between 45 and 54, 30.7% in males between 55 and 64, and 35.3% in males between 65 and 74. Only 19.9% were found in the males aged between 75 and 84 years, and 4.4% were 84 years and older. Although we still do not know the etiology of prostate cancer, Dr. Freedland has worked very hard at both the laboratory and clinic in hope that we can prevent and/or curing prostate cancer. Dr. Freedland is here to share the findings of his researches with you and me. Let’s tune in to this very informative interview.

66: Scott Mendelson, M.D., Ph.D. on Geriatric Medicine – Alzheimer’s Disease | Today, I have Scott Mendelson, M.D., Ph.D. as my featured guest on the Carbohydrates Can Kill podcast Show to discuss Geriatric Medicine on Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is one of the well-publicized mental disorders involving the geriatric population. We all realize it is both mentally and financially detrimental to both the Alzheimer’s patient and his family. It is not only important for us to find effective treatment(s) for the disease, but also critical for us to understand the cause of this disaster and its prevention. Unfortunately, up to date, there is not an acceptable chemical or drug treatment for the patients. However, it is my knowledge that restricting carbohydrate foods should have a positive impact on managing or treating the disease, especially when the patients take in middle-chain triglycerides (MCTs). Dr. Medelson is a psychiatrist who has published a book with topics on Alzheimer’s disease and metabolic syndrome. The latter is an important issue related to diabetes mellitus, or, more specifically, to hyperglycemia. Are not you curious about what Dr. Mendelson is going to tell us about this disease? Yes, I am sure you are. So, let’s tune in for this interesting interview now! Beyond Alzheimer’s: How to Avoid the Modern Epidemic of Dementia (Amazon) | 14 9 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

65: William Davis MD on Geriatric Medicine for cardiovascular diseases | On today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill Show, I invite William Davis, M.D. back to be my featured guest to discuss “Geriatric Medicine for cardiovascular diseases.” Cardiovascular diseases are one of the most frequently encountered in geriatric medicine. More recent studies have shown the link between hyperglycemia and the development of cardiovascular diseases including arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis, which often involve the coronary arteries and carotid arteries. Thus, understanding the potential cardiovascular risks as a result of consumption of carbohydrates is very important in preventing diseases and improving the health of the geriatric population. Contrary to the recommendation from a majority of physicians and health researchers, Dr. Davis has found whole grains especially wheat are health hazard. He recently wrote a book, entitled, “Wheat Belly”, for publication. I am going to have Dr. Davis tell me more about the relationship between wheat and cardiovascular diseases. Interesting, isn’t it? Come and join me in interviewing Dr. Davis now! Links: William Davis MD at Track Your Plaque: www.trackyourplaque.com Dr. Davis’ new book Wheat Belly (Amazon) | 7 9 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

64: Geriatric Medicine — Graceful Aging | Today, The Carbohydrates Can Kill Show starts a new series on geriatric medicine. To start this topic off, I present this episode entitled “Graceful Aging.” Everyone will eventually pass away from this world, no matter how long he or she lives. If possible, life should be an enjoyable journey full of accomplishment. However, some people suffer diseases at an earlier age and lose their lives before their time. Worst of all, they had to endure pain and emotional trauma as a result of incurable diseases, before their lives were taken away. I have always believed that if we take good care of ourselves, we should be able to live a healthy life with little or no illness, except accident, until our body is exhausted. Living a long life is not the most important matter. However, living a healthy and quality life should be everyone’s dream. If we do what we know how now, we should start to live a healthy life with healthy diets. And we all will have the opportunity to age gracefully. Come and listen to what I have learned about graceful aging. And, let me know your thoughts. The transcript of this presentation will be published weekly in four parts in The Blog, on Monday, September 7, 2011.

63: Fat Head’s Tom Naughton | Mr. Tom Naughton is my featured guest for today’s Carbohydrate Can Kill Show. Mr. Naughton is a well-known producer, writer, and director. He has become a household name for producing a documentary film entitled, “Fat Head.” This film has received a high rating for its first-hand experiment by Mr. Tom Naughton on eating fast food for weight loss. The most interesting thing to me is Mr. Naughton found science is with carbohydrate restriction in his research for this film. He became an advocate for carbohydrate-restricted diet. In regular writings at his blog, he helps his readers understand why carbohydrates, not fats, are hurting health. I am very excited about this opportunity to interview him on this podcast. I am going to ask him more about what information he has found in his research that should be very valuable to you and me. Let us tune in and get ready for this informative episode.

In my weekly article, “Carbohydrate-restricted Diet In Medical Consultation”, posted on Monday, August 15, 2011, I pointed out the superiority of carbohydrate-restricted diet to carbohydrate-rich fat-restricted diet in terms of improving the risks of obesity, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and many diseases. Medical consultation should include the discussion of carbohydrate-restricted diet. Dietary therapy is an important approach in restoring the metabolic functions. Both Mary Vernon, M.D. and Eric Westman, M.D. are working with the Innovative Metabolic Solutions to help understand the Innovative Metabolic Solutions. I am going to take this opportunity to help you find out more about these exciting solutions. Let us start this interesting interview now!

61: Peter Ballerstedt, PhD on Agriculture and Health | I have the honor of inviting Peter Ballerstedt, PhD as my featured for today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill Show. As we restrict carbohydrate consumption, we have to increase the intake of fat and protein, at least some of them from animal sources. With careful studies, we have found that what we feed animals is an important factor of the quality of animal-based foods in terms of protein and fat. In addition, during the last decade, more people are paying a premium for organic foods including animal-based foods. It should be an interesting question for all of us to explore if organic foods are worth the money. | 10 8 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

59: Listener’s Roundtable 7 – Obesity and Weight-Loss Resistance | In relation to this special podcast series on obesity, today I have the privilege of inviting Dr. Mary Vernon, Dr. Eric Westman, and Ms. C. Tressider as my featured guests for the seventh edition of The Listener’s Roundtable Discussion. As many people who are obese have realized the importance of losing weight for restoring their health, they want to find an effective approach for weight loss. Although there are so many weight loss programs on the market, these people are unable to lose weight despite following these weight loss approaches religiously. Of many dietary programs today, we have come to recognize restricting carbohydrates is the best diet for weight loss and at the same restoring health. However, there are people who sill have issues that prevent them from effectively losing weight. Ms. Tressider is one them. She is going to ask both Dr. Vernon and Dr. Westman about the problems she has encountered in her attempts to lose weight. I am very sure that many of you may have the same problems and circumstances that she has had. Thus, this special discussion should help you answer your questions and offer you many useful suggestions. Let us tune in now for this interesting discussion!

58: Amanda Dupont, MD on Obesity and Its Related Issues | Amanda Dupont, M.D. is my featured guest for today’s episode of The Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast, which is the third episode of a special podcast series on obesity. Dr. Dupont, certified by both the American Board of Emergency Medicine and the American Board of Bariatric Medicine, is very knowledgeable in general medicine for patients who are obese. For many years in her practice as an emergency physician, she had increasingly been concerned about how ineffective medications are when used for modifying individual symptoms but not for the patient’s whole health. She became interested in using a dietary approach to help her patients. She has carefully observed the relationship between the type of foods eaten and the transformation of health including body weight. She has lots of information that I would like her to share with us. I bet that you want to listen to my conversation with Dr. Dupont now!

As a family practitioner with a wealth of knowledge in nutrition and health, Dr. Carlson is one of the few physicians who criticize organized medicine about the unscientific advice it is giving to Americans. With such ill advice, more Americans are becoming overweight or obese and developing diseases such as, but not limited to, diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease. When you become aware of the untrustworthy information from organized medicine and its members, you have to work harder in searching the correct information for the sake of keeping good health for the rest of your life. I am going to take this golden opportunity to ask Dr. Carlson about what we have to do to restore our health and maintain it until the last day of our life.

56: Drs Eric Westman and Mary Vernon on Diabetes Mellitus and Obesity | Just look at a crowd at anytime, anywhere; so many more people are either overweight or obese. Obesity has been increasing as a serious health hazard for the US and the world. Unfortunately, it is because of the ill dietary advice from the medical establishment, health agencies, and nutrition or dietetic professionals. To stop and reverse the rising trends in obesity, we must provide everyone with the correct advice that they should restrict carbohydrates for weight loss and restoration of health. Today, I am honored to have two renown specialists for diabetes mellitus and obesity, Eric Westman, MD and Mary Vernon, MD, as my featured guests in a special series of my podcast on carbohydrates and obesity. Dr. Westman is a Duke University Research Scientist and Clinician. Dr. Vernon has been a guest on this podcast in the past, during our discussions about diabetes mellitus and gestational diabetes. With both of them here, I am ready to learn more about obesity, diabetes mellitus, and lipids. Are you ready for this interesting discussion? Let’s go!

Antismoking factions were able to use this effectively over the years too finally make smoking in our society an anti-social behavior. A few years ago is what accepted and in some cases promoted as being healthy. 4. the history of carbohydrates, why did humans start consuming them? When and where.? 5. In there a conspiracy by big Pharma to promote carbohydrates in order to sell more drugs? example the Canadian and American Diabetes society that continue to promote high carbs in order to sell volumes of insulin. 6. more on cancer and the relationship it has with carbohydrates. 7. the findings of carbohydrates promoting heart disease, (the recent discovery the mummified body of an Egyptian princess was analyzed and it was found to be riddled with heart disease, enough to kill. It is well known that the Egyptians main diet consisted of grains and barley and fruit. Very obviously, a majority of my listeners like you agree with Mr. King’s recommendations.

52: The Healthy Nation Coalition | The directors of The Healthy Nation Coalition are our guests today on The Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast. As I wrote in my weekly article, New Label For Old Stuff: ChooseMyPlate.gov, the USDA announced that It replaced the “food pyramid” with a new graphical analog, “Choose My Plate,” as the icon for its unscientific and unhealthy Dietary Guidelines. After the USDA ignored public outcry for a thorough review of the Guidelines, a group of concerned individuals organized the Healthy Nation Coalition to help redefine what we call “healthy” foods for Americans and other Earthlings. In today’s special episode, I am honored to have the three directors of the Healthy Nation Coalition as my featured guests. They are Pam Schoenfeld, RD, Adrienne Larocque, PhD, and Adele Hite, MAT. I am going to ask them about the Healthy Nation Coalition, its mission and goals. I am going to ask them what they have been doing to help all of us choose healthy foods and restore and maintain good health for the rest of our lives. Now is a critical time as we discuss these important issues that will certainly help us save health care expenses on preventable illnesses. With their professional backgrounds, I am sure that I will learn a lot from Pam, Adrienne and Adele. As I continue to promote preventive medicine, I trust that you will join me now to find out what my guests will share with us.

Many of us, including myself, have heard about how healthy The Mediterranean Diet is in comparison to other diets. However it is important to look into studies that thoroughly analyzed the diet and rate the diet according to its impacts on our health. Dr. Parker is a board-certified internist who is interested in both the carbohydrate-restricted diet and the Mediterranean diet. He understand how a carbohydrate-restricted diet can help an individual restore his health, including weight loss. In the meantime, he also enjoys the Mediterranean dietary style, which he feels requires carbohydrate restriction. Under that concept, he recently published a book entitled, “Conquer Diabetes and Prediabetes; The Low-carb Mediterranean Diet.” This is a very timely interview with Dr. Parker, as the final episode of this special series on diabetes mellitus. To find out what he thought about using the Mediterranean diet while restricting carbohydrates to control diabetes mellitus and reverse a prediabetic condition, let’s start the interview now!

49: Diabetes Mellitus with Ron Raab on Insulin For Life | file size: 30.4mb For today’s episode of The Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast, the fourth episode of a special series on diabetes mellitus, I am honored to have Mr. Ron Raab as my featured guest. By this time, you have already listened to the interviews with three of my guests on diabetes mellitus. All of them have told you how one can prevent or manage diabetes mellitus. However, some of us may be the victim of type 1 diabetes mellitus and whose pancreas does not produce insulin. Although I have continued to believe dietary management is the best for the diabetic patients, I fully understand the need of insulin in some of these diabetic patients. However, insulin is not an affordable life-saving product to everyone, especially those in the undeveloped countries. Mr. Raab, a type 1 diabetic himself, has long recognized such a serious situation, and actively involved himself in a noble cause for collecting donations of insulin from various sources and providing them to those who need insulin but cannot afford it. In this interview, I am going to ask Mr. Raab about his own experience with diabetes mellitus and his involvement with the charity organization, Insulin For Life. Like myself, I think you want me to start this interesting interview ASAP. Please tune in now! Links Mr. Raab’s BIO Website: www.insulinforlife.org | 18 5 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

After having listened to the interviews with two of my guests on diabetes mellitus, you should have some idea about how serious this disease is. Most importantly, you would agree with me that all of us have the potential of becoming diabetics if we do not take a special care of ourselves by eating healthy foods, which should sensibly restrict carbohydrates. For that, I am particularly interested in interviewing with Dr. Vernon who is a family physician for general practice including diabetology and bariatric medicine. Dr. Vernon has an enormous experience in treating obesity and diabetes mellitus. I am going to ask her to help us understand diabetes mellitus including its cause(s), prevention, and treatments. I trust you would want to like Dr. Vernon to share with us her expertise in dealing with diabetes mellitus. Let’s get ready for this informative interview now!

47: Diabetes Mellitus with Richard Bernstein, M.D. | Today, I am honored to have Richard Bernstein, M.D. come to The Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast as the second of my five featured guests for a special series of five episodes on diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus has been a well-publicized disease. Nevertheless, not many people understand the disease well, unless those of them who have medical knowledge, and, more important, are interested in doing their best for halting the disease progression. We have seen victims of diabetes mellitus, including those who were physicians, lost their lives to the disease after following the conventional medical treatment. However, Dr. Bernstein did not follow the same path and has had his own destiny. He is an industrial-engineer-turned-physician and a type 1 diabetic since his young age, and wrote a bestseller book, “Diabetes Solution.” I am going to ask him to tell us about his life story and what a diabetic should do to reverse the course of diabetes mellitus with diet. It will be an excellent opportunity for you and me to hear from Dr. Bernstein in person. Please tune in and go! Website: http://www.diabetes-book.com | 4 5 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Diabetes mellitus is one of a few on the top of a list of diseases, which seriously threaten everyone’s health in the US and the world. Despite its publicity, the incidence of diabetes mellitus continues to rise, because public health agencies, American Diabetes Association and its counterparts of the world and every country have failed to educate individuals about diabetes mellitus with correct information, in particular, of its etiology and its prevention and treatments with diet. Dr. Sukol, a board-certified internist who is specializing in diet for health, in particular, diabetes mellitus. I am going to ask Dr. Sukol to share with us her clinical expertise in helping non-diabetics understand diabetes mellitus and prevent it. More importantly, I am also going to ask her about how diabetic patients can use diet for managing and even reversing the disease. Although I am not a diabetic, I confess that I am anxious and want to learn from Dr. Sukol’s discussion. If you share my anxiousness, let us find out the information that Dr. Sukol will give us in a few seconds! Please tune in. Website: http://www.teachmed.com | 27 4 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

45: Listeners’ Roundtable with Dr. John Briffa and Bob Faber | In today’s episode of The Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast, I present the fifth edition of the Listeners’ Roundtable Discussion. Mr. Bob Faber of Singapore, from the audience, and Dr. John Briffa, B.Sc. (Hons), M.B. B.S., of London are here as my featured guests to discuss a variety of issues regarding carbohydrate-restricted diet. All of us who switched from carbohydrate-rich, fat-restricted diet to carbohydrate-restricted, fat-rich diet have found ourselves more energetic and healthier. Nevertheless, many of us still want to make sure that we are taking the best care of ourselves by eating the right foods, avoiding the bad foods, and using supplements for enhancing the benefits of our carbohydrate-restricted, fat-rich diet. Therefore it is not surprising that I have continued to receive questions on these issues. Bob, an MBA working for a large corporation, pays special attention to the importance of eating the right foods for good health for his family and himself. Dr. Briffa, a British physician who is well recognized for his research and writings, will definitely help answer Bob’s interesting questions. I expect this interview will be another exciting Listener’s Roundtable Discussion. I can’t wait to know what I am going to hear from both of them. Can you? Let’s tune in now!

44: Dr. Mary Vernon on Gestational Diabetes, its Causes, Prevention, and Treatments | It is my honor to have Dr. Mary Vernon as my featured guest for today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast, the final episode of a special series on gestational nutrition. Childbearing women, like the rest of us, have risks of diabetes mellitus and diseases including gestational diabetes, which are a result of hyperglycemia. In the introduction of this special series on gestational nutrition, I told you the effects of gestational hyperglycemia on the potential of gestational anomalies. Now, I am concluding this special series with an interview with Dr. Vernon who is a family physician specializing in general practice, including prenatal care and obstetrics. Dr. Vernon has enormous experience in treating obesity and diabetes mellitus, including gestational diabetes. I am going to ask her to help us understand more about gestational diabetes including its cause(s), prevention, and treatments. As we have already learned the importance of gestational nutrition from three experts, and the impacts of gestational hyperglycemia on the health of both the expecting Mom and newborn, I trust you want to hear what Dr. Vernon will tell us about gestational diabetes. Let’s get ready for this interesting interview now! Website: https://www.myimsonline.com/ Episode 44 Transcribed by Yael S. Balazs, Ph.D. http://www.carbohydratescankill.com/1835/44-dr-mary-vernon-on-gestational-diabetes-its-causes-prevention-treatments Dr. Mary Vernon on Gestational Diabetes, its Causes, Prevention, and Treatments Dr. Robert K. Su: When we are talking about gestational nutrition we want to make sure that the woman is eating properly the foods which are not only keeping her healthy throughout the pregnancy, but also providing the fetus with the right amount of nutrition for healthy growth. We do not want to have a newborn with congenital anomalies, birth defects, and the potential of becoming a diabetic. On March 16, 2011, I discussed on the show the relationship between maternal hyperglycemia and gestational anomalies. I believe you have already learned about the grave impacts of maternal hyperglycemia. Today I am honored to have Mary Vernon, M.D. as my special guest. . . . Dr. Vernon: This topic of glycemic index and pregnancy or hyperglycemia and pregnancy is finally getting the appropriate attention that it deserves. And this has really been just recently that the medical literature is starting to reflect studies that examine this relationship. Although those of us who treat people with carbohydrate restriction have known for a long time that this was absolutely an important connection, but there are connections beyond this. Which include the connection of the hypertension of pregnancy or preeclampsia, which is often related to this underlying tendency to have impaired glucose tolerance during pregnancy. Dr. Su: Very good. But, let’s back up a bit. What is the definition of gestational diabetes? Dr. Vernon: The definition of gestational diabetes, and, let me just say, this has been a moving target during the time that I have been in the practice of medicine, which is more than thirty years, that the definition of gestational diabetes has changed several times. So, what I really want to do is to say to your audience that this is usually determined by screening which happens at the beginning of the third trimester with a glucose load being delivered, the “glucose tolerance test” and you do a fasting [measurement] and a two hour [measurement]. The amount of glucose [ingested] is already decided, “here’s how much you drink,” and if your blood sugar goes up above a certain amount, then you have to have a three-hour glucose tolerance test to actually determine if you have gestational diabetes or not. Now the truth is, like we said before Dr. Su, this is not an on or off kind of thing. Just because your blood sugar numbers are one point below the cutoff for gestational diabetes does not mean that you’re safe and in good shape. You’re not. An | 13 4 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

43: Gestational Nutrition with Pam Schoenfeld, RD | I am very pleased to have Ms. Pam Schoenfeld stop by here as my featured guest for today’s “Carbohydrates Can Kill” podcast of a special series on gestational nutrition. After having two excellent interviews on this important topic, gestational nutrition, with Ms. Adele Hite and Dr. James Carlson, I am sure that I can help expand your knowledge base by offering additional information on the subject. After listening to the interviews with all of them, you will find out the information that they share and the suggestions that each of them offers. At the end of this special series, you will be able to summarize all the information and have a very good idea about how healthy gestational nutrition works for a healthy pregnancy. Ms. Schoenfeld is a registered nutritionist in private practice. She usually helps her clients improve their nutritional needs with her expertise in general nutrition. However, she is particularly interested in gestational nutrition. I bet her interview with me will give you and me lots of interesting suggestions that both of us need to know.

42: Gestational Nutrition with James Carlson, D.O. | Dr. James Carlson is my featured guest for today’s “Carbohydrates Can Kill” podcast, part of a special series on gestational nutrition. As a retired anesthesiologist who attended deliveries, I recognize the importance of the health of both the newborn and the new mother. Needless to say, their health is a result of gestational care, especially gestational nutrition. As I presented to you in this podcast on March 16, 2011, childbearing women must be mindful of their nutrition, which closely affects the outcomes of their pregnancies. Dr. James Carlson is a unique physician who earned various degrees including B.S., D.O., M.B.A., and J.D., before starting medical practice. With his personal experience and review in biochemistry, he wrote a book, Genocide!, illustrating how we have been following poor dietary advice that has led us to the path of malnutrition and premature death. I greatly appreciate Dr. Carlson’s extensive knowledge in nutritional medicine. Don’t wait! Join me in listening to this interesting episode now. www.drjamescarlson.com Genocide! by Dr. James Carlson (Amazon.com) Episode 42 Transcribed by Yael S. Balazs, Ph.D. http://www.carbohydratescankill.com/1788/gestational-nutrition-james-carlson-do-ep-42 Gestational Nutrition with James E. Carlson, D.O. Dr. Robert K. Su: I have repeatedly stressed the importance of a healthy pregnancy, because whatever happens to the expecting mother will affect both the physical and mental health of the newborn, not only in his childhood, but also in his adulthood. Developing gestational nutrition is one of the key factors of a healthy pregnancy. . . Dr. Su: Since we are talking about low-carbohydrate diets, so, is eating low-carbs during pregnancy dangerous? Dr. Carlson: You know it’s a common question I get asked from my expecting moms, or even moms who are already pregnant, because most of my patients, of course, know that I focus on low-carbs. The answer is no. Eating low-carbs during pregnancy is NOT dangerous. And, if we have time later, I will talk about special cases where you have to be a little more cautious, generally with your type 1 diabetic moms who become pregnant. But, for a patient who is not a type 1 diabetic, eating low-carbs during pregnancy is not dangerous. And, it’s actually preferred. There are a lot of web sites for the moms. And the pregnant moms tend to want to be as knowledgeable as possible, to provide what they can to encourage the growth and development of a healthy baby. Unfortunately a lot of the web sites they come across, and there’s even a magazine that I get delivered to my office called “Fit Pregnancy” and some of the listeners may be familiar with that, certainly physicians are familiar with that, but unfortunately, a lot of the information, even in “Fit Pregnancy,” is incorrect when it comes to nutritional guidance. I have to say that not only is eating low-carbs during pregnancy not dangerous, eating carbs during pregnancy, or the amount of carbohydrates suggested by these magazines is actually dangerous. So, the converse is true. Eating low-carbs is not dangerous, but eating carbs, in the amounts suggested, is definitely dangerous. And if you look at what we’re made of as human beings, our composition, it’s basically, depending on the literature you read, anywhere from 70-75% water. All right, that’s your main ingredient. Then the next ingredients are fat and cholesterol, which is found in the cells – the cell membrane. And in fact, cholesterol is an important constituent of cell membranes – allows the membranes to function properly. Of course, protein is second to water, and then the fats and cholesterol. But, when you’re eating carbohydrates when you’re pregnant, and when you have a baby that’s developing, you’re not – you’re not, providing what the baby needs to develop normally. You know, basically we need fat, we need the cholesterol, we need the protein and, of course, the water. | 30 3 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

41: Gestational Nutrition with Adele Hite, MAT | In today’s special series of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast on gestational nutrition, I am honored to once again present Ms. Adele Hite, a PhD candidate in Public Health and Nutrition, as my featured guest. Ms. Hite previously stopped by this show twice to discuss the faulty USDA Dietary Guidelines and pediatric nutrition respectively. Gestational Nutrition is as important as pediatric nutrition, if not more, because it involves proper nutrition not only for keeping mothers healthy throughout their pregnancies, but also for keeping the fetus growing healthily. Short of that, gestational complications arise and injure either the mother or the baby, or both. With her knowledge in both pediatric and gestational nutritional science, I am going to ask Ms. Hite many questions on this very important subject.

40: Hyperglycemia and Gestational Anomalies | In today’s Carbohydrates Can kill podcast show, I am going to present you a discussion on hyperglycemia and gestational anomalies. Hyperglycemia has become a major health problem for the last five decades. It is not only the patent sign of diabetes mellitus, but is also an important causative factor of many diseases, if not all. When we carefully, analyze the course of disease development, we can find the link of hyperglycemia. Carbohydrate foods are the major supplier for blood glucose. Hence, excess carbohydrate consumption is responsible for hyperglycemia, subsequent inflammation, and disease initiation. To no exception, hyperglycemia has ill impacts on the reproductive system of both men and women. In light of an increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus during the recent years, an increase in gestational anomalies will follow unless we educate the public about the terrible consequences of hyperglycemia and with the knowledge of healthy dieting by carefully restricting carbohydrate foods. As that in my continuing efforts of sharing my knowledge with you about diet and health, let’s begin my discussion with you now.

39: Lu Cai, M.D. on Hyperglycemia and Cancer | Lu Cai, M.D., Ph.D. is my featured guest for today’s episode of The Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast . Cancer is one of the few critical medical issues that we all are most concerned. We have studies devoted to finding the causes of cancer. With those studies, we blame bacteria, viruses, physical stimulation, radiation, fat, and many other factors for starting cancer. However, we have not found a direct evidence for the claims. Although we have studies that link blood glucose level to the risk of cancer, we have only a few studies that pinpoint the mutagenic effect of hyperglycemia. Dr. Cai and his colleagues successfully showed the direct cause of mutation by hyperglycemia in a short period of time. The mutated cells they have cultured have the potential to become cancer. The work by Dr. Cai and his colleague is very impressive and interesting. I am going to ask Dr. Cai about the study he and his associates have done and the theories that will help us understand why we can possibly prevent cancer by avoiding hyperglycemia with carbohydrate-restricted diet. Let’s listen to Dr. Cai’s informative interview now.

In today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast, I am going to present you the fourth edition of the Listeners’ Roundtable Discussion. Mr. Jeff B. from the audience, and Grace Jone, Pharm. D. are here as my featured guests to discuss what we should do concerning prescribed medications and food supplements when we restrict carbohydrates. Many more of us become ill and are prescribed with medications after having consumed a carbohydrate-rich, fat-restricted diet for years or decades. Many of us have noticed the prescribed medications are not helpful in restoring our health, and have also found that restricting carbohydrates is the best way to roll back lots or all of our health problems. However, we do not know if and how we can get rid of the prescribed medications especially those involving our cardiovascular system. Jeff has the questions on prescribed medications that many of us want the answers to. Dr. Jone is a young but very knowledgeable pharmacist who is ready to give the answers in our interview today.

37: Wrapping Up Pediatric Nutrition With Sally Fallon | Sally Fallon of the Weston A. Price Foundation helps us complete our series on pediatric nutrition today. Before I conclude this special series on pediatric nutrition, I cannot help but inviting Ms. Sally Fallon to today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast as my featured guest to discuss about the USDA proposed rule, “Nutritional Standards in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs.” As you may be aware, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010 finally became official on January 14, 2011. The US Department of Agriculture has promised in its proposed rule above that it would update the School lunch and Breakfast Programs as soon as the Dietary Guidelines for American 2010 is released. In the article published on February 21, 2011, I call for creating an alternative set of Dietary Guidelines. I am going to ask Ms. Fallon about her viewpoints on these very important issues concerning our children’s nutrition and health. Ms. Fallon is very knowledgeable in nutrition that she applied to the rearing of her children. With her extensive writings, you and I will be very delighted to learning from her insight in pediatric nutrition. Let’s find out what she is going to share with us.

Today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast, I invite Ms. Pam Schoenfeld as my featured guest. During the last six episodes of Pediatric Nutrition, we have learned lots of excellent ideas from eight of my knowledgeable guests on what we should do to raise our children. All of them offered similar advice on many important questions that I asked. However, each of them also gave us their special attention to certain nutrients, which are critical in keeping our children in good health. Ms. Pam Schoenfeld is a registered dietitian who has concentrated herself in pediatric nutrition, in addition to other focal interests. She has also learned pediatric nutrition in her daily practice with her children. I am looking forward to have an excellent discussion with Pam on this important topic about raising our children with healthy nutrition. Let’s tune in to this episode now.

Dr. 35: Roxanne Sukol and Adele Hite: More on Pediatric Nutrition | In today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast, I have both the diet and health expert, Dr. Roxanne Sukol, and, a PhD candidate in Public Health and Nutrition, Ms. Adel Hite as my featured guests. Pediatric Nutrition is important not only because it is a science but also because it is a slowly accumulated experience from daily practice. Often, parents encounter problems in raising their children. These problems are: What is the choice of foods for my children? What should I do if my children do not want certain foods, which I think are nutritious? What should I do if my children are short of certain vitamins, minerals, fats or proteins? In today’s electronic era, we can find information online. However, listen to someone who has the expertise in the diet and health, especially in the pediatric nutrition, is the best resource for us. Both Ms. Hite and Dr. Sukol are experts in nutrition. The joint discussion with me today will definitely enlighten me very much on this topic.

32: The Return of Fred Hahn and Judith Barnes Baker | We have Ms. Judy Barnes Baker and Mr. Fred Hahn as my featured guests for today’s episode concerning Pediatric Nutrition on The Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast. On January 13, 2011, the Food and Nutrition Service of the US Department of Agriculture released a proposed rule, “Nutrition Standards in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs.” The proposed nutrition standards are using the existing food pyramid and dietary guidelines as their backbone and further reducing the fat consumption. Although I am delighted that the new standards do reduce or avoid the consumption of sugars, their promotion on whole grains requires a serious repercussion. Both Ms. Baker and Mr. Hahn were previously the featured guests of this podcast. Ms Baker is the author of an excellent cookbook, “Carb Wars.“ Her upcoming book was originally written at the request from the American Diabetes Association. Her expertise in cooking for carbohydrate restriction is beyond my words. Mr. Hahn is an expert in nutrition and resistance training especially for children and the author of a best selling book, “Strong Kids Health Kids.” I am going to find out their suggestions on how you as a parent can do to feed your child with the healthy foods and help build a healthy dietary style for the rest of your child’s life. I am sure that you do not want to miss this informative discussion between Ms. Baker, Mr. Hahn and myself. Tune in now, please!

31: Dr. Ann Childers returns to discuss pediatric nutrition | Dr. Ann Childers is, once again, my featured guest for today’s episode about Pediatric Nutrition on The Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast. On May 28, 2010, an article published in the Psych Central News reports Aspirin helps the patients with schizophrenia ease up their symptoms. I have read a few articles that indicate the risks of suffering from psychotic disorders during later life are greater for those who have diabetes mellitus in their childhood or young adulthood. I have understood and am convinced that the grave impacts of hyperglycemia and its subsequent inflammation are related to these mental diseases. The above news really boosted my confidence that hyperglycemia and inflammation play a big role in everyone’s health, both physical and mental. Because of my hunger for learning more about diet and mental health, and sharing the information, I want to invite many more psychiatrists to this podcast. Dr. Childers, with a broad experience in both premedical and postgraduate career, is a unique psychiatrist who observes everything carefully and looks for the link between the cause and the outcome. I am very sure that you will be very excited in listening to the conversation between Dr Childers and me. This is another informative podcast that you do not want to miss.

30: Marisa Pruzan on Pediatric Nutrition | Ms. Marisa Pruzan is my featured guest on today’s episode of The Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast. As I have emphasized the importance of dietary styles to our health, I have not had many opportunities to address pediatric nutrition. In part, we have been faced with an uphill battle with the organized medicine and the government agencies, which have promoted flawed dietary guidelines that have continued to ruin our health. We have to overcome their fierce resistance to our efforts of helping them use good science in modifying their future dietary guidelines. At the same time, we have seen the trends of obesity and adulthood diseases have moved into the child population. We cannot continue to watch our children to prematurely lose their lives to preventable diseases. We must act now by sharing healthy dietary styles with parents who can use the knowledge in rearing their children. Marisa is a holistic health coach, personal trainer, yoga instructor and specializes in raw foods, super foods, and super herbs. Who has used her knowledge in helping restore her health. I am going to discuss with her the best way to raise our children with real foods. I trust that you want to listen to this premiere of pediatric nutrition of my podcast now.

I am pleased to have Ms Amy Dungan and Mr. Hank Garner as our featured guests. In the forums at www.carbohydratescankill.com and in our Facebook group, I have been very impressed by how eagerly diabetic patients are seeking answers to questions about their diseases, other than obesity, such as diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, and more. I have frequently noticed that many of the answers they have received are false or only half-true. My findings convinced me to continue helping people search for accurate and complete information regarding diet and health. In today’s discussion, I expect that Hank will bring up several interesting questions that are shared by many of you, because of his personal health problems and efforts in correcting them. With her writings on the very subject that Hank is concerned, Ms. Dungan will undoubtably offer valuable suggestions that will also benefit you.

As a physician interested in diet and health, I am convinced that diet can affect the health of the body and the well being of the mind. In my literature research, I have found several studies concerning diet and mental health. I firmly believe that many mental disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, bipolar disorders, and others are closely related to a patient’s diet. Nevertheless, I am not satisfied with the findings that I have seen. I wanted to bring some questions to psychiatrists and learn from their experiences. This is really a golden opportunity for me to have a one-on-one discussion with Dr. Emily Deans. She is a young psychiatrist and already has an enormous knowledge of diet, especially the Paleolithic diet, and mental health. I trust that you are eager to tune in to this episode and learn what I am learning from Dr. Deans’ valuable clinical experience.

25: Dr. Dwight Lundell Reveals The Secret Truth About Heart Disease | Dr. Dwight Lundell of TruthAboutHeartDisease.org joins Robert Su, MD as the featured guest on today’s episode of The Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast. Dr. Lundell is a retired cardiac surgeon. Over the course of a career that involved performing more than 5,000 cases of cardiac surgeries, he became increasingly dissatisfied with the fact that cardiac surgeries could never stop the increasing epidemic of new cardiac disease and recurrences. After doing his own research and literature research, he came to the realization that cardiac surgery is just a patch-up job. To help prevent cardiac disease, he understood that the dietary approach is most important and effective. In 2003, he left his successful practice of over 25 years and opened a new clinic, teaching his patients how they can prevent heart disease with a diet which is , interestingly, rich in fat and low in carbohydrate. Based on the findings of his research, he disputes the role of cholesterol in the development of coronary artery disease. He has published two books, “The Cholesterol Lie” and “The Cure for Heart Disease.” In this interview, I am going to ask Dr. Lundell to share with us his thought on why and how we can prevent and even cure heart disease without surgery. This is a very important while provocative topic. You owe it to yourself to listen to this episode now! peak at your meeting, contact us at jevpublishing@verizon.net. Order Dr. Su’s book now at here.

23: Dr. John Briffa on Waist Disposal | John Briffa, MD, Author of Waist Disposal is the featured guest today on The Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast. Dr. Briffa is a British physician specializing in integrated medicine. He not only has a strong grasp of the threat of carbohydrates, but is also a natural speaker who has authored many books and articles in health and alternative medicine; his most recent book is Waist Disposal. In light of the epidemic of obesity and related diseases such as diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease, many of us want to know how we can shed weight, especially the fat around the mid section. Studies have repeatedly shown a strong link between fat in the waist area and the risks of many diseases. To help restore and maintain good health, losing fat especially from that trouble spot should be one of everyone’s goals. Dr. Briffa was overweight to the point of obesity at one time, but he managed to lose weight by performing his own research and following its lessons. Later, he began to teach his patients to lose weight using these same techniques. I’ll ask Dr. Briffa about his experience in dieting and weight loss, why the caloric theory of weight loss is wrong, the value of aerobic exercise in weight loss, and much more. You really need to listen to this fascinating conversation with Dr. Briffa!

22: Primal Muse With Jamie Scott | Jamie Scott, the blogger behind Primal Muse is our guest today on The Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast with Robert Su, MD. A New Zealand nutritionist, Mr. Jamie Scott, is here to tell us about what is going on in the profession of nutrition or dietetics. Many of us have learned that nutritional consultation with nutritionists or dietitians often may not help diabetics stop the advancing deterioration caused by diabetes. Have you ever asked, “What do these nutritionists and dietitians really know about nutrition?” Jamie completed a degree in nutritional science after completing a degree in exercise science. He thought that he had learned all he needed to know about nutrition until he found his own health did not improve as he practiced the nutritional science he was taught and firmly believed in. Then he started to restrict carbohydrates in his own diet and discovered the flaws of the nutritional education he fhad been following unconditionally. Listening to Jamie’s own experience will amaze you regarding how terribly wrong institutionalized nutritional dogma has been!

19: Pam Schoenfeld and Adele Hite : The 2010 USDA Food Pyramid Proposal Is Wrong | Pam Shoenfeld and Adele Hite are the featured guests in today’s episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast. Welcome back. Please forgive some ongoing audio issues; we are working to correct them in future episodes. Ms. Schoenfeld is a registered dietitian. Ms. Hite is a graduate student in the MPH/RD and PhD Nutrition Epidemiology programs at UNC-Chapel Hill School of Public Health. As discussed last week in episode 18, the proposed Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010 (the USDA “Food Pyramid”) are deeply flawed, and many scientists, physicians, nutritionists, dietitians, and the concerned public are voicing their opposition to accepting them without an extensive overhaul. Ms. Shoenfeld and Ms. Hite, joined by Professor Richard Feinman, Professor Richard Wood and Gabriel E. Guzman, PhD, authored an article, “In the face of contradictory evidence: Report of the Dietary Guidelines for American Committee.” They are here to give details of their viewpoints on this important issue. To help all Americans improve their health with healthy dieting, both Schoenfeld and Hite have organized “Healthy Nation Coalition.” You don’t want to miss this important opportunity to understand why both Ms. Schoenfeld and MS. Hite want to rectify the proposed Guidelines for improving your diet and health.

18: Dietary Guidelines are against science with Professors Richard Feinman & Richard Wood | Professor Richard Feinman and Professor Richard Wood are the guests in this special episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast. Welcome back. The proposed Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010, was released on June 15. The proposed guidelines are not only virtually identical to the previous versions that promoted heavy carbohydrate consumption, but also go on to more severely restrict fat intake than its predecessors. The previous versions of the Dietary Guidelines have clearly led Americans into the path destined for more overweight and obesity, and more diseases such as diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, stroke, cancer, and others. However, the US Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services show in their 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, that they have not understood the concerns that are shared by scientists, physicians, nutritionists, dietitians, and the public. Professor Feinman and Professor Wood, joined by two nutritionists and one salt specialist, authored an article, “In the face of contradictory evidence: Report of the Dietary Guidelines for American Committee.” They are here to explain their viewpoints on this important issue. Make sure that once you listen to why Professors Feinman and Wood do not agree with the proposed Guidelines, decide what you should do for your diet and health.

17: Judy Barnes Baker, Author of Carb Wars | Ms. Judy Barnes Baker is my featured guest in this episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast with Robert Su, MD. Welcome back! After following dietary advice favoring high carbohydrate, low fat diets from government agencies and organized medical groups such as the American Diabetes Association, American Heart Association, and American Medical Association, many more of us have become overweight, obese and diabetic; additionally suffering from diseases including — but not limited to — coronary artery disease, cancer, arthritis, and Alzheimer’s disease. So, many more of us have switched our diets to carbohydrate-restricted, fat-rich diets to restore our health and save our lives. We had hoped that organized medicine would realize that its dietary obsession injured and killed many of us, but it has not budged and continues to practice wrong-headed medicine on us. Ms. Baker is an artist, low-carb-dieter and author of Carb Wars: Sugar Is The New Fat as well as the upcoming book, Eating On The Edge: Menus and Recipes for Weight Loss, Diabetes, and Metabolic Syndrome. She will share with us a bizarre story about the American Diabetes Association and why she prepared her second book. You sure don’t want to miss this interesting interview with Ms. Baker.

16: Paleolithic Diets with Dag Viljen Poleszynski, PhD | Dag Viljen Poleszynski is my featured guest in this very special episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast with Robert Su, MD. Welcome back. During the recent decades, the Paleolithic diet of our ancestors has been mentioned frequently as it probably helped the cavemen avoid obesity and diseases such as coronary artery disease and diabetes mellitus. Many people around the world apparently employ this diet for restoring their health. Dr. Poleszynsk holds an undergraduate degree in business administration in Norway, studied language and social science, before taking a sharp turn and receiving a master’s degree in the science of nutrition. Then, he earned a PhD in the historical analysis of complimentary medicine. Dr. Poleszynski, a Paleolithic dieter, knows the diet intimately, including the details of its evolution and its impact on the health of our ancestors. We need to know if the Paleolithic diet, which is similar but not identical to the carbohydrate-restricted diet, is the answer to today’s health crisis. You surely want to learn about the Paleolithic diet from Dr. Dag Poleszynski.

15: Dr. Donald Miller on Medicine and Diet | Donald Miller, M.D. is my featured guest in this enlightening episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast with Robert Su, MD. Welcome back! Physicians are supposed to be the people who believe and follow only the truth like scientists do. They should master what they have learned in both the basic and clinical science and know how parts and functions of the body is connected to each other with rationale. Unfortunately, we have witnessed many physicians today simply follow in the footsteps of organized medicine and the nose of pharmaceutical companies. They have lost the ability of judging the rationale of each piece of medical information. They just memorize the information and follow the standard of care, even when that has cost the patients’ health and lives. Dr. Miller, a cardiac surgeon and Professor of Surgery at the University of Washington School of Medicine, found that the postoperative dietary advice for his patients was terribly irrational with the high carbohydrate and low fat diet. To improve his patients’ postoperative outcome, he has adopted a low carbohydrate, high fat diet in his dietary advice. We need more good physicians like Dr. Miller who tells us what the real science is. Do not miss out this great interview with Dr. Donald Miller.

Welcome back! Many people, especially those who still think that they are young, always take a lax attitude toward the advice on health. They would say, “Oh, I am young and healthy. Disease will not happen to me.” Yes, they think that they are invincible. Unfortunately, many diseases do not happen overnight. Rather, it takes a long time for these diseases to become symptomatic. By the time when they notice the symptom and seek medical advice and treatment, they may find the medical advices and treatment are ineffective. Dr. Jim Bjork, a Canadian optometrist, thought he was healthy because he had been careful about his lifestyle including diets until he found that he was a diabetic. After he was dissatisfied with the medical and nutritional care for his diabetes, he went on to look into dietary changes for controlling his diabetes. In his research, he discovered many dirty secrets that have hurt all of us. Come and listen to what the secrets are that Dr. Bjork is going to unveil for you!

12: Mark-John Clifford: Diabetes Awareness | Mark-John Clifford is the featured guest on this week’s episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Show with Robert Su, MD. Welcome back! When I was a pharmacy and medical student during 1960’s, diabetes mellitus (DM) was a disease only found in about 5% of the US population. In 2007, 10.7% of it, aged 20 years or older was diagnosed with DM,. During the same period, 23.1% of it aged 60 years or older had DM. The total medical cost related to DM was 174 billion dollars for 2007. The rate for new cases of DM has increased rapidly each year. Worse of all, many people do not realize that they have developed DM, until their incidental blood and urine tests yield abnormal readings of sugars. By the time, when DM is diagnosed many of them have already developed other diseases, which are a result of hyperglycemia. If they had conducted semiannual or annual serial blood sugar tests, they would have found the mass of the insulin producing pancreatic beta cells is shrunk and could have restricted carbohydrates for preventing them from becoming DM. Mark-John did not know he was a diabetic even for a good while after he suffered from coronary artery syndrome. Worst of all, he could not improve his health conditions based on the ill dietary advices by the medical establishment. He finally had to do his own research and changed his dietary style for controlling his DM. With his terrible personal experience, he has initiated a crusade to raise public awareness of DM and its prevention. Do not miss this very revealing interview with Mark-John about Diabetes Mellitus.

11: Hannah Sutter: ‘Big Fat Lies’ | Welcome back for another interesting episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast with Robert Su, MD. In this episode, British lawyer/nutrition writer, Ms. Hannah Sutter is the featured guest. We all have been repeatedly advised by the governmental agencies and the medical professional organizations about how dangerous the roles of fats on the health are, particularly the saturated fats. Most of their studies include the trans fats, the synthetic fats created by chemically hydrogenating their unsaturated bonds, which are recognized for their health risks. However, the governmental agencies and the medical professional organizations have never told us trans fats and saturated fats are two completely different things. Besides, they have also failed to realize that saturated fats are vitally important to our health and are not responsible for overweight and obesity. Ms. Sutter was stunned by the facts that two of her acquaintance had slimmed themselves by eating more fats. Sutter even gave up her successful law practice and began to research the truth of how dieting impacts the health and wrote a book, “Big Fat Lies: Is Your Government Making You Fat?.” Ms. Sutter will tell you in this interview how misinformation about fats and health has been played up and is leading us into the path of a big health hazard. Be sure to listen to this most fascinating interview with Sutter about the truths you have never been told that are hidden behind big fat lies.

In this episode, Sofie Hexeberg, M.D. of Norway is the featured guest. Being aware of the rising trends in during the recent decades, more people have been trying different diets and increasing exercise to lose weight and their health. Among the diets, restricting carbohydrates have been most debatable, but yielded more success. Studies have shown restricting carbohydrate has so far produced better results not only in weight loss but also in improvement of health. However, we really need more physicians, like myself, who have the first-hand experience in restricting carbohydrate and are enthusiastic in helping their patients use carbohydrate restrictions for improving the health. Dr. Hexeberg in this interview will tell you about her success in helping her patients do the same that her did for herself in restricting carbohydrate for improving their health.

9: Dr. William Davis – Diet and Plaque | Welcome back for another inspiring episode of The Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast with Robert Su, MD. In this episode, William Davis, MD, FACC is the featured guest. For at least the last 50-60 years, we have learned more about coronary heart disease, which is a result of arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis. The latter forms plaques inside the arteries including the coronary arteries, carotid arteries, aorta, and others. We have used surgeries to by-pass the clogged arteries and remove the plague for restoring circulation. However, preventing the artery from forming plaque is the most important. Dr. Davis is a heart disease reverse expert, author of “Track Your Plaque” and founder of the Track Your Plaque website. In this interview, Dr. Davis will share his expertise in the most interesting topics about diet and plaque, especially the benefits of low carbohydrate diet on preventing plaque formation.

8: Good Nutrition Is Carbohydrate Restriction with Misty Humphrey | Welcome back for another inspiring episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast with Robert Su, MD. In this episode, Ms. Misty Humphrey is the featured guest. For the past 20-30 years, we have heard more and more about health problems with children from peanut allergies, obesity, high blood pressure as well as behavior disorders, ADHD and autism. Those problems were rare in the first half of the 20th century, or even very rare. The changes are so drastic that we are compelled to find the reason(s) behind them. Misty Humphrey has personally lived through such a difficult childhood because her concerned mother did not know what was wrong with her. Interestingly, she had peculiar cognitive function, of which her physician did not know the cause, but for which, he gave her mother even more peculiar advice. Because Misty was so concerned about her weight problem, she tried the Atkins’ diet. This helped improve her health so much – including her cognitive function – that she became enthusiastic in discovering the link between diet and health. Today, Ms Humphrey is a certified nutrition educator.

7: Low Carb Diet With Amy Dungan | Welcome back for another episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast with Robert Su, MD. In this episode, Ms. Amy Dungan is the featured guest. In recent years, more people have become aware of the health problems with overweight/obesity, and begun to change their dietary styles from a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet to a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. However, the transition has been slow, thanks to the ill advice from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans by the USDA and HHS for the last thirty years. A majority of the population has continued to mistakenly believe that carbohydrates are good, and fats are bad for their health. Ms. Dungan is a freelance writer and photographer who has been living the low-carb lifestyle since 2001. In changing her diet from high-carb to low-carb for weight loss, she wrote extensively about her experience in struggling to reach her goal, her understanding of the work of dieting, and the health impact of each nutrient. In this interview, she will give her thoughts on these topics, carbohydrate-restricted diet for child-bearing women and children, and more. Don’t miss this most informative interview with Amy!

In this episode, Sally Fallon is the featured guest. Ms Fallon is President of the Weston A. Price Foundation and the co-author of the books “Nourishing Traditions” and “Eat Fat Lose Fat.” Fallon is also a journalist, chef, nutrition researcher, homemaker, and community activist.

In this interview, she explains why she thinks the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee may have conflicts of interest and why promoting a high carbohydrate, low fat diet is hurting the health of the American people, and especially the children. | 7 7 10 | Free | View In iTunes |
