It's a person, there must be this experience —
The circle of friends is bombarded by various health laws.
Of course, the group of relatives and friends is also the main battlefield: like this to persuade (force) you to eat vegetarian.
What the? The president of the United States is vegetarian and you are still eating meat?
In this way, the effect is not clear.
Improve the acidic physique, want to give birth to boys to look at it!
Eat these, anti-cancer and anti-cancer do not money!!
What's worse is that I advise my parents not to believe it, they still don't listen!
Angry Sir.
Anger is the best motivation. Sir recently finally found a film, I feel that in one breath to kill a lot of food health rumors -
"Purifying Diet, Dirty Truth"
Horizon - Clean Eating，The Dirty Truth
<h1></h1>
This is a new BBC horizon unit, as a documentary about food health, "Purifying Diet" is not only not boring, but also old and energetic.
It was born to punch in the face, and it was the eating ideas that went viral on the Internet.
You may not know that the netizens on Instagram in the corrupt country have also been mad for their health:
People who do not eat meat (scientific name: vegetarian therapy), believe that "eating plants can save lives";
People who do not eat wheat grain (gluten-free diet) and believe that "grains will eat bad stomach";
There is a third kind of person (alkaline diet), more blind -
Meat does not stick, even potatoes, cream are abstained, it is said that these human delicacies are "acidic food", will get sick.
(Clams?) Wouldn't it be sick?!!! ）
Fortunately, the protagonist of the documentary stood up and said to us sincerely and credibly:
"Don't rip the calves, go home and eat!"
This good guy is—.
Host of "Clean Diet", Dr. Gilles Chiu. Graduated from the University of Cambridge with a degree in molecular genetics, he has been studying human metabolism in the laboratory of his alma mater for many years.
This time out of the mountain, he came to look for stubble. I want to tear up the "purifying diet" from the perspective of evidence-based medicine (emphasizing that any conclusions should be based on rigorous scientific arguments).
Look at the following in this battle book:
Science focuses on the difference between hearsay and evidence. Purifying the diet is not based on science.
Having said that, he made a picky (good) provocative (slut) corner of the mouth 45° up, which I liked.
The first object of Hand Tearing that Professor Qiu locked was the group that did not tell others to eat meat well.
He came into contact with the vegetarian on Instagram, Ella Mills. The most famous thing about the internet celebrity Ella is her divine physique:
I had a rare disease that couldn't control my heart rhythm, and my digestion and immune system went wrong.
Lying in bed for six months, taking all kinds of medicines is useless.
Later, I tried to improve my diet and was cured.
Point--she means, vegetarian, than medicinal.
Nowadays, she casually poses her healthy appearance + all-vegetarian lunch picture, which is a hit.
However, this internet celebrity does not understand science.
Her "self-cultivation" about health comes from what she calls "the most comprehensive nutrition study ever written" –
"Life-Saving Diet".
Reject all animal foods for health
Therefore, in Professor Qiu's view, Dr. Campbell, the author of "Life-Saving Diet", is the black hand behind the scenes, and if he wants to tear, tear him up.
Round 1: Professor Qiu vs Dr Campbell of "Rejecting All Animal Diets"
Dr. Qiu was on the way to the learning (human) technique (body) communication (attack) stream (hit), full of excitement of punching the face:
The real danger of research is that research enthusiasm does not come from facts, but from ideas imagined from data. I'm curious about which kind Professor Campbell belongs to.
Professor Campbell is of this kind:
Life-Saving Diet examines the relationship between meat intake and cancer prevalence, and concludes simply:
→ are prone to cancer and heart disease.
But Dr. Qiu quickly discovered that the experimental data was catty—
Unsure of how much meat is consumed, Professor Campbell directly replaced protein with cholesterol.
If the study subject had high blood cholesterol, it was assumed that he ate more meat.
So here's the problem: there are many reasons for high blood cholesterol, such as genetics, weight, exercise, alcohol, mental stress, and eating meat is just one of them.
Professor Campbell's answer was a bit intimidating:
The Life-Saving Diet dataset is not intended to draw general conclusions, and its evidence is not strong enough.
"Life-saving Diet" also reads: "Plant foods are beneficial, while animal foods are not."
Q: The nutritional advice you put forward in your book is quite extreme, but it has inspired countless people and affected millions of people...
A: I'm describing a goal, not because it has good scientific evidence, but because I didn't find any harm in the process of changing the diet toward it. I didn't pretend to be authoritative and say it works for everyone.
Nani?
Minutes affect the dietary concept of millions of people, and the scientific basis is insufficient?
As an authoritative bricklayer in nutrition, does Dr. Campbell have any misconceptions about science?
Those who have been punched in the face are not only vegetarian therapies.
Professor Qiu found that not eating grain is also a joke.
Round 2: Professor Qiu vs Dr. Bill Davis of "Grain will plague all mankind"
The scientific name is "gluten-free diet", that is, not eating foods containing wheat, including certain pasta such as biscuits, cookies, bread, and pasta.
How hot is this inhumane trend abroad?
Most of hollywood stars, including the High Commander, are followers. They firmly believe that eating wheat foods can harm the immune system.
Girl, I will never let gluten get near you, never

The representative figure is cardiologist Bill Davis. He firmly believes that gluten in wheat can cause leaky gut → the breeding of immune diseases.
So Dr. Qiu found a more authoritative expert, the world's leading researcher of celiac disease, Dr. Dharma (good) Sa (Shuai) No) Buddha-figure, but the Buddha-figure said:
That's not true.
I respect and like some of Dr. Davis's views, and I don't want to go against him
But to be honest, I don't think that's the case
In fact, the wheat foods that Dr. Davis eliminated will only "hurt" a certain group of people (people who are genetically genetically susceptible to infection, leaky gut, and have a poor immune system).
Dr. Shuai's original words: "Eating gluten, coupled with the synthesis of proteins in your own body, is not enough to cause any problems." ”
In other words—
Normal people eat grain and don't get sick at all!
Davis was punched in the face and shrugged and smiled:
This is not to prove that a new surgical method is effective, it requires very precise data
This means that if you don't eat watermelon, you can easily try it, and there is nothing to lose by trying it
There is no scientific basis for influencing the gluten-free diet of millions of people in minutes.
As a senior M.D., did Davis have any misconceptions about science?
Equally embarrassing, there is alkaline dietary therapy.
Round 3: Professor Qiu vs Robert Young of "Alkaline Diet Cures Cancer"
The saying of "alkaline food" is believed to be familiar with poisonous rice from the circle of friends and relatives and friends. Such as vegetables, fruits, seaweed, nuts are alkaline foods, while starch, meat, cream food is acidic, must not eat.
The person who pulled out this set of nonsense was him—
Robert Young, author of the best-selling acid-base miracle, has a "fish tank metaphor":
What would you do if your fish got sick
Treat the fish, or change the water
Change the water of course.
This is how alkaline dietary therapy works:
The human body is like a container, and healthy blood/body fluids are alkaline water. If the "water" is alkaline all the time, it will be healthy forever.
Bacteria are nothing, bacteria are just products of their surrounding environment. Don't think about killing bacteria, but change the environment, that is, the acid-base environment of the human body.
These statements, in Professor Qiu's view, are also crazy -
The scientific consensus is that blood is inherently slightly alkaline, and nothing you eat can change that. That is to say, no matter what kind of food the human body consumes, the blood environment is slightly alkaline.
Simply put, the so-called alkaline dietary therapy is "completely opposed to the science of cyclology."
The "alkaline diet" that affects millions of people in minutes is based on pseudoscience?
This can be called how tens of millions of followers online are good...
You know, on ins alone, with the hashtag of #purifying diet, as many as 26 million pushes.
This kind of pseudoscience, which is completely untenable, is taking advantage of the east wind of the Internet to gain blind pursuit and relay -
Ella Mills, who advocates vegetarian therapy, is both the millionaire of ins, and her culinary debut "Ella Gourmet Recipes" is also the fastest-selling recipe ever sold in the UK;
The Hemsley sisters, the followers of "don't eat grain", are not only ins celebrities, but also have a TV food column in the hit;
Food blogger Natasha Camelot, in her book The Purification of Health, complained about pseudoscience:
His (Robert's) discovery can help cure terminal illnesses, but is not recognized by the medical profession.
Maybe it's because if the doctor's prescriptions are all vegetables, then the big pharmaceutical companies won't make money.
And this best-selling book is also blessed by stars:
Victoria Beckham fell in love with Health
It's no surprise that these crappy pseudoscience pretense can poke at many of the people around us.
Why?
Because of panic.
Many pseudosciences of diet like to equate a certain type of food with disease.
When we say "purification", we actually regard a food group as "harmful" and want to completely eliminate it.
What's the benefit, you ask? Do they have a vendetta against food?
No, but they use the gray area of information to fuel panic and gain blind following.
For the average person, because they are preached to be panicked about a certain type of food, they will give up a nutritionally balanced diet.
For Internet hipsters, selective picky eaters will appear avant-garde, fashionable, and compulsive.
Unconsciously, this trend has changed our relationship with food .
Labeled "purified", food is no longer nature's supply to the body; it has become a vaccine that can prevent disease, a natural remedy that is more attractive than drugs.
Therefore, for patients, the word "diet therapy" is very poignant.
The following sentence, I believe many people will feel, sounds quite reasonable:
Cancer is a condition of hyperacidity caused by the environment, which can be solved by injecting alkaline nutrients.
In fact, there are really acid-base miracle farms built on "this truth", attracting many cancer patients who hope to be cured.
Is it useful?
You see, the farm owner Robert's therapy is to inject a large dose of alkaline potion into the patient's body.
According to the invoice, an Australian patient with pancreatic cancer has passed away on an acid-base farm.
But she did not die of cancer spreading, but from congestive heart failure, where the heart is filled with fluid.
In the last 31 weeks of her life, she received 33 intravenous infusions of the alkaline drug for $550 (nearly 4,000 yuan) each time.
There was also a young British captain, Naima, who was diagnosed with breast cancer after graduating from military school. She believed in the claims made online that "Acid-Base Miracle Farms is a rehabilitation program that can cure cancer."
After more than 3 months of treatment at the acid-base miracle farm, it cost nearly 500,000 yuan, and was sent back to the United Kingdom and died. He was only 27 years old.
There were 81 cancer patients from the acid-base farm, and none of them survived.
This reminds Sir of the "death of young Wei Zexi" last May.
The director of an armed police hospital recommended "biological immunotherapy" to Wei Zexi, a malignant tumor patient, known as Stanford technology, "no problem for 20 years". So the Wei family hollowed out the family foundation, but Wei Zexi died soon after.
The problem lies in the so-called "biological immunotherapy of Stanford University technology." In foreign countries, it is a typical pheasant therapy, which is eliminated at the clinical stage, but it has become the "latest technology" in China and is sold at a high price.
Whether it is Robert or "a certain director", under the guise of science, they are seeking money from terminally ill patients. But in a way, a purifying diet is even more terrifying—
Robert said: "I now face up to three years in prison, but the alkaline diet campaign will continue... It didn't slow down at all.
If the Wei Zexi incident is only a certain kind of accidental event, then the "purifying diet" with the same lethality is a collective unconscious conspiracy.
Professor Qiu said in "Purifying Diet":
"The world has split into two. One talks about science and objective evidence. A "philosophy" driven by personal assumptions, claiming purification, and even saying that food can replace medicine. ”
Flip open your circle of friends and tell me, which world are you in?
Is this it?
Or this one?
The addition of flaxseeds can increase crude fiber, and turmeric powder can fight cancer
Have you ever posted such a plea for help?
It's time to wake up —
What to eat, how to eat, the scientific community so far only recognizes one statement:
Eat a balanced diet that includes fruits, cereals and dairy products, and eat meat in moderation.
As for the messy "theories"... Don't make a fuss.
What Sir wants to say today is not how righteous and right Dr. Qiu is in this face-punching game. It's --
Staying away from those god-like health care methods in the circle of friends, there is absolutely no mistake.
