By Mike Geary, Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Specialist Author of the best-seller: The Truth About Six Pack Abs 3 So-Called \u201cHealthy\u201d Foods that You Should STOP Eating (if you want a lean healthy body) Your food may not be as healthy as you think I was reading a statistic in a nutrition book recently, and this is going to shock you\u2026 Now before I tell you the statistic, let\u2019s keep an important fact in mind\u2026 according to well renowned nutrition author Michael Pollan, and his amazing book called In Defense of Food , humankind has historically consumed approximately 80,000 different species of edible plants, animals, and fungi, and approximately 3,000 of those have been widespread foods of the human diet. Now get ready for a shocking and appalling statistic\u2026 Currently, the average adult in the US consumes approximately 67% of their total caloric intake from only 3 foods \u2014 CORN, SOY, AND WHEAT (and their derivatives). What would be considered a reasonably healthy amount of corn, soy, and wheat in the human diet? Based on 10\u2032s of thousands of years of human history, and what the natural diet of our ancestors was (indicating what our digestive systems are still programmed to process), this would probably be in the range of about 1% to 5% MAX of our total calories from corn, soy, and wheat. Considering that modern humans are eating 67% of their total calories from corn, soy, wheat\u2026 you can see why we have massive problems in our health, and our weight! It\u2019s not a surprise that we have so many intolerances and allergies, specifically to soy and wheat (and gluten intolerance)\u2026 the human digestive system was simply never meant to consume these substances in such MASSIVE quantities. Keep in mind that these massively high levels of corn, soy, and wheat in our modern human diet is a relatively new phenomenon that originated from the economics of the multi-billion dollar corn, soy, and wheat industries. It really HAS been all about the money\u2026 NOT about our health! By \u201cderivatives\u201d of corn, soy, and wheat, this means the food additives such as: high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) corn oil\u00a0soybean<\/a>\u00a0oil (hydrogenated or plain refined) soy protein refined wheat flour hundreds of other food additives such as maltodextrin, corn or wheat starch, soy lecithin, mono and diglycerides, etc, etc This doesn\u2019t surprise me\u2026 consider how much soda or other sweetened drinks (with loads of HFCS) that the average person drinks daily\u2026 this is a LOT of calories from just 1 sole corn derivative. Even marinades, salad dressings, ketchup, breads, and 100\u2032s of other foods contain loads of belly-fattening HFCS! Also think about how many processed foods we have that are either fried in\u00a0soybean<\/a>\u00a0or corn oil\u2026 and even if the foods are not fried in these oils, these oils are additives to almost every processed food\u2026 chips, candies, cakes, salad dressings, tomato sauces, burrito wraps, corn chips, breaded chicken, etc, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
