Don't Eat Toxins

Imagine a world where:

diabetes, heart diseases, autoimmunity and other modern diseases are rare or don't exist at all
we are naturally lean and fit
we are fertile throughout our childbearing years
we sleep peacefully and deeply
we age gracefully without degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and osteoporosis.

While this might sound like pure fantasy today, anthropological evidence suggests that this is exactly how human beings lived for the vast majority of our evolutionary history. Today, most people accept diseases like obesity, diabetes, infertility and Alzheimer's as "normal". But while these diseases may now be common, they're anything but normal. Humans evolved roughly 2.5 million years ago, and for roughly 84,000 generations we were naturally free of the modern diseases which kill millions of people each year and make countless others miserable. In fact, the world I asked you to imagine above - which may seem preposterous and unattainable today - was the natural human state for our entire history on this planet up until a couple hundred years ago. What was responsible for the change? What transformed us from naturally healthy and vital people free of degenerative disease into a world of sick, fat, infertile and unhappy people? In a word?

The modern lifestyle. And though there are several aspects of our current lifestyle that contribute to disease, the widespread consumption of food toxins is by far the greatest offender. Specifically, the following four dietary toxins are to blame:
Cereal grains (especially refined flour)
Omega-6 industrial seed oils (corn, cottonseed, safflower, soybean, etc.)
Sugar (especially high-fructose corn syrup)
Processed soy (soy milk, soy protein, soy flour, etc.)...Read More
