The Ancestral Diet Revolution: How Vegetable Oils and Processed Foods Destroy Our Health - and How to Recover!

by Chris A. Knobbe, Suzanne Alexander

Could the diet of our ancestors prevent, treat, and reverse most cases of overweight, coronary heart disease (CHD), cancer, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and autoimmune disease, including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis, as well as most other chronic, degenerative diseases? And is this a diet plan that is simple, effective, and allows one to eat to their heart’s content?

And what is the single most important component of an ancestral diet? The answer is as simple as the elimination of vegetable oils – oils that are extremely high in omega-6 fats – which are highly pro-oxidative, pro-inflammatory, toxic, and nutrient deficient. Come witness for yourself… the evidence is beyond compelling… it even meets the Bradford Hill criteria of ‘proof,’ as the authors have clearly demonstrated.

Chris Knobbe, MD , is a physician, ophthalmologist, nutrition researcher, author, speaker, public health advocate, and the founder of two nonprofit Ancestral Health Foundation and Cure AMD Foundation. Since 2015, Dr. Knobbe has given scores of presentations and achieved international academic recognition for his work on the dangers of highly polyunsaturated vegetable oils. Dr. Knobbe’s goals are altruistic and humanitarian; he accepts no compensation for his work in this field.

Suzanne Alexander, M.Ed. , is a multi-award-winning educator and health and nutrition researcher with more than 40 years of research to her credit. Suzanne, like Dr. Knobbe, accepts no compensation for her work in this field. Both authors hope to save as many people as possible from the devastation they’ve witnessed individually, nationally, internationally, and globally. They’ve clearly chosen a noble crusade – from which we can all benefit.

Grateful for Dr. Chris Knobbe’s concern, knowledge and ongoing extensive research into macular degeneration. Both of his books are full of information and hope.

The book is well written and thorough. Possibly a little too thorough, as I couldn't finish it. There's only so much evidence I need to see before the point is made: vegetable oils are bad for your health. That said, the various forms of proof were quite interesting — especially from a historical and anthropological point of view. They even quote cookbooks from the 1800s and novels, to determine what people were eating.

I thought the book could have examined whether the polyunsaturated fat in whole foods like nuts and seeds was just as harmful as extracted oils. Also, they could have examined whether or not eliminating all fats was better, even if the saturated fats are healthier.

Highly recommended

The data analyzed in this book is not meant to convince anyone of a single fact, but to reveal an empirical truth. It gave me something I had been missing for years: a stable starting point and a sense of direction.

For more than ten years, my health struggles had followed me without clear answers. This journey will not be easy, and I know it will be challenging, but it is one I am willing to take. I also feel compelled to share what I am learning, because passing this knowledge on is the only way we can begin to change a food industry that is harming all of us.

Seed oils seem to be the cause for the modern health problems.
The take home message is good - eliminate seed oils and processed foods.
The bad part was too much repeating of the same things - seed oils bad

Outstanding work

Está muy buena la información, pero es muy repetitivo. Es como una serie de ensayos de investigaciones. Todas muy interesantes. En mi opinión le faltó tener un poco de historias de casos.
