Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letter on Corpulence, Addressed to the Public Few men have led a more active life - bodily or mentally - from a constitutional anxiety for regularity, precision, and order, during fifty years' business career, from which I have now retired, so that my corpulence and subsequent obesity was not through neglect of necessary bodily activity, nor from excessive eating, drinking, or self - indulgence of any kind, except that I partook of the simple ailments of bread, milk, butter, beer, sugar, and potatoes more freely than my aged na ture required, and hence, as I believe, the generation of the parasite, detrimental to comfort if not really to health.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letter on Corpulence, Addressed to the Public: With a Review of the Work From Blackwood's Magazine, and an Article on Corpulency Leanness From Harper's Weekly Of all the parasites that affect humanity, I do not know of, nor can I imagine, any more distressing than that of Obesity, and, having just emerged from a very long probation in this affliction, I am desirous of circulating my humble knowledge and experience for the benefit of my fellow man, with an earnest hope it may lead to the same comfort and happiness I now feel under the extraordinary change - which might almost be termed miraculous, had it not been accomplished by the most simple common-sense means. Obesity seems to me very little understood or properly appreciated by the faculty and the public generally or the former would long ere this have hit upon the cause for so lamentable a disease, and applied effective remedies, whilst the latter would have spared their injudicious indulgence in remarks and sneers, frequently painful in society, and which, even on the strongest mind, have an unhappy tendency; but I sincerely trust this humble effort at exposition may lead to a more perfect ventilation of the subject and better feeling for the afflicted.

Download or read book Food and Human Evolution written by Berman Hudson and published by Algora Publishing. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food has played a major role in human evolution. The fact that we stand upright, that we can talk, that we have big brains; even traits such as altruism and a sense of fairness—all of these can be attributed largely to the kinds of food our ancestors ate and how they acquired it. When our hominid ancestors learned to make stone weapons, it enabling them to kill and butcher large animals. Eating and sharing meat led to our big brains and our “Machiavellian intelligence.” We now face a modern food-related crisis. About 100 years ago, people began to abandon traditional diets in favor of refined, pre-packaged, factory-made foods. If you list the top ten crops receiving agricultural subsidies from USDA, no fruit or vegetable makes the list. This book describes how the rise of industrial food production unleashed an epidemic of metabolic disease that now threatens the very future of our species. America is being divided into two distinct populations — an obese majority that is subject to disease and early death, and a minority that remains largely free of these diseases. Diet-induced metabolic disease is beginning to pass directly from mothers to their children. Because of this intergenerational amplification, an evolutionary crisis is looming. This book offers a tantalizing range of information and ideas for readers interested in nutrition, anthropology, prehistoric studies, and human evolution, and food, diet, and human health as viewed from an overtly evolutionary perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller Named one of The Economist’s Books of the Year 2014 Named one of The Wall Street Journal’s Top Ten Best Nonfiction Books of 2014 Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Books of 2014 Forbes’s Most Memorable Healthcare Book of 2014 In The Big Fat Surprise, investigative journalist Nina Teicholz reveals the unthinkable: that everything we thought we knew about dietary fat is wrong. She documents how the low-fat nutrition advice of the past sixty years has amounted to a vast uncontrolled experiment on the entire population, with disastrous consequences for our health. For decades, we have been told that the best possible diet involves cutting back on fat, especially saturated fat, and that if we are not getting healthier or thinner it must be because we are not trying hard enough. But what if the low-fat diet is itself the problem? What if the very foods we’ve been denying ourselves—the creamy cheeses, the sizzling steaks—are themselves the key to reversing the epidemics of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease? In this captivating, vibrant, and convincing narrative, based on a nine-year-long investigation, Teicholz shows how the misinformation about saturated fats took hold in the scientific community and the public imagination, and how recent findings have overturned these beliefs. She explains why the Mediterranean Diet is not the healthiest, and how we might be replacing trans fats with something even worse. This startling history demonstrates how nutrition science has gotten it so wrong: how overzealous researchers, through a combination of ego, bias, and premature institutional consensus, have allowed dangerous misrepresentations to become dietary dogma. With eye-opening scientific rigor, The Big Fat Surprise upends the conventional wisdom about all fats with the groundbreaking claim that more, not less, dietary fat—including saturated fat—is what leads to better health and wellness. Science shows that we have been needlessly avoiding meat, cheese, whole milk, and eggs for decades and that we can now, guilt-free, welcome these delicious foods back into our lives.
