Protein for Muscle, Milk for Bones - And Other Lies We Believed

in #nutrition7 years ago (edited)

Haven't we all learned...?

  • Milk is for healthy bones
  • Fish oil builds a healthy brain
  • Cheese and Yogurt are the best for your teeth
  • High fiber foods are best to clean your colon
  • Wearing sun-glasses are best for your eyes
  • Drink 8 glasses of water a day to stay hydrated
  • Sun-screen will protect you from skin cancer
  • "Organic Meat" and "Cultured Dairy" are best for fighting cancer
  • Meat is for building muscle
  • And if you're vegetarian or vegan, it is Protein that builds muscle

That's BS :)

Our Belief Systems (BS) do not always benefit us. We have believed the above pieces of information...and why did we blindly accept this? We believed this BS as it was marketed to us. Marketing. Advertising. We have become blind and believe everything we see on television and within online blog posts.

So why believe me? I am not here to prove anything--I am here to spread the truth. I am not asking you to believe me. Instead, I want to challenge your blind belief, your dogma, your system of beliefs.

The Truth

Milk

Most milk we drink is cooked. One fundamental you must understand is that anything cooked by fire/heat literally becomes dead. When you eat dead things, this also kills your insides by robbing it of the living enzymes inside. This is not metaphorical, this is literal. The cooking also creates many isolated substances in the body, and these isolated substances are always out of their natural balance.

How about un-cooked milk? Let's put it this way, if you are going to drink the milk from another animal, the more of these points that you cover, the more optimal it will be for your system:

  • No cooking: all drugs are made by cooking--all substances that throw the body out of balance are also made by cooking. Yes, this is circular reasoning, but do not forget that the purpose is to get you to challenge your belief system!
  • No fermented or putrefied: your body is not dumb, and it knows when "dead" elements are in the body. All dead elements are prepared for elimination. If your body barely accepts a living, transplanted pig heart ("xenotransplantation", which takes much effort to achieve success), what makes you think that your body will accept dead fluids with open arms?
  • No freezing: this will also freeze your cells. How about a thawed milk? I'm honestly not 100% sure on this one. The fact is that the milk was designed with a purpose, and you have changed that purpose through freezing and thawing.

No matter what you do to the milk, our universe is a place where for every action there becomes an equal and opposite reaction. This includes what happens to the milk and what the milk will do to you.

So bones then?

Just like every other tissue in the body, it is synthesized as protein by your DNA. Your vehicle has instructions that ultimately build and re-build the body when necessary. Bones are no different, and they all start as either cartilage or come directly from cells ("osteoblasts") that specifically secret a "bone formula" that turns into what we sense as hardened bones. Whatever you want to call this process--ossification, osteogenesis, etc.--it does not change the observation that these loose, fluid tissues become mineralized and hardened.

The secret to healthy bones: If your health is bad, then support the detoxification of your innards with cleansing, alkaline foods. You cannot build, or re-build, the best physical version of yourself without first cleaning out the offending junk. The cleansing, alkaline foods are juicy, ripe fruits. The fruits have all of the vitamins and minerals that you need. Fruits have the perfectly structured water for intracellular hydration. Fruits have all of the essential amino acids and even the conditional amino acids. If any terms here are unfamiliar with you, take a moment to see what the masses of information on the Internet have to say about these items. Just realize that if you search "is milk good for you", there are plenty of articles placed to promote and sell you milk. Yup, it's called business, and not all of us have the means or privilege to experience the mechanical operations of a "business".

An Introduction of New Thoughts / Beliefs

I have a lot to learn, and I am learning and experiencing so much (first-person experience) every day. Let me entertain you with new thoughts on optimal health. Whether it is your brain, your teeth, colon, eyes, hydration, skin, cancer, muscles, etc. you can say all of these things that they:

  1. use simple sugars for energy, such as fructose (from ripe fruits);
  2. run optimal on lower levels of fat consumption--the fat is meant to buffer, to store, and it can prevent the transport of materials to the cells;
  3. receive hydration from all elements structured to give "hydration" (hydrogen) to carbon-based life vehicles such as your body --
    this is NOT hydration from bottled water, fluoridated water, city water, etc.; and
  4. just like "Vitamin D", these things require the energies of our universe (mostly the sun and earth).

The Simple Truth

The Essene Gospel of Peace Book 1 truly says this the best. The Essenes--a group of people loosely linked to Judaism--passed this information along their communities.

You aren't ready for the truth. Just kidding, I'm not ready to type it since I need to go to bed sometime soon :) Follow me, and one day I will tell you the hacks to get the most optimal nutrition.

Sort:  

I loved the list you created for our established BS. But your post looks incomplete. I'd suggest if you want to go to bed next time before completing your post, just add "Part-1" in the title and when you complete it later, provide the link to it in the comments here (in case you can't do that in the main post). I'd like you to dispel all those myths listed by you and may be more. Already following you !

Indeed! :) I could turn this into multiple parts...I like doing that. Thank you!

Btw, I really love exposing BS in our society. I'm now following you so I can get some of that info too :) I'm happy to meet more people that are also anti dairy :D thanks again for the post!

You are soooo right! My dad got me to stop drinking milk about 10 years ago! :D
Love your info! :)

Great article @robertgenito you are so right 😊 Thank you for sharing the truth. Resteemed.

Thank you!!

When you eat dead things, this also kills your insides by robbing it of the living enzymes inside. This is not metaphorical, this is literal. The cooking also creates many isolated substances in the body, and these isolated substances are always out of their natural balance.

Do you even understand that the reason you're able to type BS (bullshit) like this onto a computer is because one of your ancestors tens of thousands of years ago figured out how to transform food by applying heat?

Basically, you are being dumber right now than a caveman who thought the sun was a god and that sneezes meant the devil was inside you.

The invention of cooking was a pivotal moment in humankind that allowed our brains to get bigger. Cooking unlocked the food, and basically pre-digested it. Go ahead and do an experiment where you eat raw meat for a year and see how that goes. Enjoy all the living parasites and living bacteria and the simple challenge of chewing.

You have a bigger brain than the ancestors responsible for giving it to you. Use it.

Also fermented foods are very good for you. Most of the cells that comprise you aren't actually you. They are your microbiome. Fermented foods feed that part of you.

Do you even understand that the reason you're able to type BS (bullshit) like this onto a computer is because one of your ancestors tens of thousands of years ago figured out how to transform food by applying heat?

Well, if this was bullshit to you then the arguments you are putting forward are worse.

Basically, you are being dumber right now than a caveman who thought the sun was a god and that sneezes meant the devil was inside you.

True, it can only be a caveman who will think the Sun as some god or the sneezes to be an indicator of a devil sitting inside you. Looks like you haven't came out of the caves yet!

The invention of cooking was a pivotal moment in humankind that allowed our brains to get bigger. Cooking unlocked the food, and basically pre-digested it.

If cooking was an invention then uncooking is a bigger invention than that. There is not a single evidence to support that cooked or pre-digested food ever resulted in bigger brains for homo sapiens. In fact, if you will feed pre-digested meals to your digestive system, it will obviously get lazy and weak. Whereas brain developed because the humans managed to devote more time in thinking through their brains instead of just hunting for the food esp. after the invention of agriculture.

Go ahead and do an experiment where you eat raw meat for a year and see how that goes. Enjoy all the living parasites and living bacteria and the simple challenge of chewing.

You don't even know that meat is NOT a food for your body. In this world only plants know to prepare food. All other beings are directly or indirectly dependent on plants for their energy. So if you have brains, you would consume your food directly from the primary source. So you need to go for completely plant-based diet ...a new realization or invention for you!

You have a bigger brain than the ancestors responsible for giving it to you. Use it.

Yes, all these realization is the outcome of that bigger brain. You are still following the caveman's approach. So what's the use of that bigger brain you have got. Do start thinking right away.

Also fermented foods are very good for you. Most of the cells that comprise you aren't actually you. They are your microbiome. Fermented foods feed that part of you.

Yes, first you destroy the microorganism colonies in your gut by consuming cooked food. Then you want to re-grow that micro-biome ecosystem back by struggling to consume more and more fermented food. Is this what you got bigger brain for?

I just re-read this, and Great point about brains becoming bigger simply by USING them! Don't people realize that caveman is a complete oxymoron ? Humans are tropical species...requiring sunlight for optimal performance!

Do you even understand that the reason you're able to type BS (bullshit) like this onto a computer is because one of your ancestors tens of thousands of years ago figured out how to transform food by applying heat?

This is a common argument, and I understand it. Don't forget that the human body has evolved for at least 100s of thousands of years and every day this evolution is looking to be in the millions. Tens of thousands of years isn't much at all on the evolutionary time line.

The invention of cooking was a pivotal moment in humankind that allowed our brains to get bigger. Cooking unlocked the food, and basically pre-digested it. Go ahead and do an experiment where you eat raw meat for a year and see how that goes. Enjoy all the living parasites and living bacteria and the simple challenge of chewing.

The intelligence necessary to cook food was not unlocked by cooking food. Man was intelligent enough to master fire before all of these mysterious benefits of cooking came about. ALL of these statements are based on assumptions, and I like to stay away from those :)

It is no secret that you destroy the value of orange juice by cooking (pasteurizing) it. It is also no secret that cooking starchy vegetables (i.e. sweet potatoes) is beneficial. When you weigh the effort verse the nutritional reward, cooking starchy vegetables only becomes valuable when you're a human being trying to live out of your natural environment. That natural environment is clearly the tropics.

You have a bigger brain than the ancestors responsible for giving it to you. Use it.

Clearly, I am :) Thank you.

Also fermented foods are very good for you. Most of the cells that comprise you aren't actually you. They are your microbiome. Fermented foods feed that part of you.

This is a good point. It does not, however, explain why it is that long-term fruitarians are thriving at life, reversing disease, breaking their fitness personal best records, and reporting happier and more fulfilling lives. I am a witness to this, and it is experience that you are lacking. Your lack of experience in this area doesn't give you much credit....

I hope you can put this into perspective.

Btw, I see no reason for you to "flag" my item to remove rewards from it. In return, I've flagged all of your recent posts, which has removed $4 in rewards from your posts. Do NOT flag someone's post simply because you disagree with it. It is the equivalent to censorship, and I hope you are better than that.

What you are doing is harmful. You should earn nothing but derision for the ignorance you are spouting. You are the equivalent of someone with a sign on the street telling people that they should ignore their cancer and drink your new wonder serum to cure it. You are a charlatan.

It is my understanding that a flag is a downvote. High quality posts should be visible on this platform. Garbage like yours should not. Not only is your garbage physically harmful to people, it is harmful to this community.

Steemit needs to grow. It needs more users. If someone sees a post like yours as their first post, and that it is earning money, if they have any intelligence, they will view this entire community negatively and will never return.

As for what you did to "punish" me, it just makes even more clear what kind of person you are, to downvote posts based on revenge, instead of anything to do with the actual post.

I have no intention of voting everything down of yours in return. You know why?

Because I'm not a piece of shit like you.

You have ignorance confused with experience. Who are you to judge, anyways? That is the example of ignorance, my friend.

What I have done is not to punish or for revenge--and I understand you only say this because of the mirror in front of all of our perspectives. I have done this to demonstrate a voting flaw with STEEM so that the developers consider removing it for the sake of Peace and anti censorship.

No need to attack me, bro :)

Charlatans like you have great interest in removing any ability for users of this platform to collectively reduce the earnings you receive for being a snake oil salesman. Downvoting hucksters isn't censorship, just like imprisoning a murderer isn't a violation of their civil rights. It's protecting the many from the few who fully intend to do them harm and otherwise would if free to do so.

And I'm not your bro, asshole.

As for "Charlatans", it's pretty clear I'm not selling anything. If you actually had a viable argument, you would've presented it by now, right? ;D
