A research team's deeper examination of the nutritional content of plant-based meat alternatives, using metabolomics, shows they're as different as plants and animals.
Beef contained 22 metabolites that the plant substitute did not.
The plant-based substitute contained 31 metabolites that meat did not.
The greatest distinctions occurred in amino acids, dipeptides, vitamins, phenol's, and types of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids found in these products.

This 2-hour podcast episode spans from discussions on ancestral history and findings to digging deep into debunked health studies, along with CJ’s recent personal journey with hypothyroid issues that were solved through T3-only hormone treatment.
The Perfect Human Diet film evolved from CJ’s true-life story, beginning in 1978 when paramedics brought Mr. Hunt back to life at the age of 24 after suffering a full cardiac arrest while jogging. That incident evoked an intense passion to find out how we can all achieve longer, healthier and happier lives and then share that information with others. CJ has over twenty years of experience in broadcasting, voiceovers, television and live events. He is the author of three books on diet and health.

While working in private practice, it became apparent to Dr. Sebring that the current medical paradigm was designed to treat the symptoms of the herd and not the problem of the individual. He began attending nutritional conferences in an effort to broaden his education and understanding. He soon found that his whole paradigm changed.
He is a recognized expert and international speaker for Alternative and Anti-Aging Medicine and has been called the first physician to base his practice around the Paleo Diet, which he believes is the perfect diet for humans.
Dr. Sebring’s organ reserve and total stress load theory of aging not only best explains the unnatural aging pattern of modern humans, but lights up a pathway to avoid that unnatural pattern whereby humans maintain functionality at a high level throughout their life until death.

One of the most interesting, well respected, and some traditional physicians would say controversial, experts I met during production of The Perfect Human Diet, is David J. Getoff. David is a Naturopath, Board-Certified Clinical Nutritionist and the current Vice President of the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation in San Diego, California.
Now what's so controversial, if anything, about David?...
Here is more unseen footage from my filming of the documentary. "From the cutting room floor" as it were (of course editing is all digital now, edited on computers instead of cutting strips of 35mm film and syncing a separate audio track).
I suspect as a subscriber to my blog you know about the currently popular theory that by eliminating all animal foods and replacing them with plant foods as the singular source of food, aka vegan-ism, the human species can still have the healthiest life possible.
Some good New Years news today.

Above is my favorite food related holiday pic taken at the Botanical Gardens in Atlanta a few years ago. As you can see, even scary baby jack-o-lanterns eat fresh and local. Clearly, this one is growing up to be a meat eater.

There is a persistent belief (assumed to be true, even by prominent bloggers) repeated over and over again as if it's fact - but, it's not. In fact, this belief is sometimes used as a "logical" excuse for the author to include anything in their diet, and their diet recommendations, the author doesn't want to stop eating. This belief is that early modern humans, our species, were such opportunists, and so desperate for food, that they would eat just about anything they could get their hands on. Not so...
I want to share this experience with you because it illustrates a big lesson about the irreplaceability of human foods in our diet, in spite of the popularized and passionate claims that plant foods can healthily replace animal foods for our species.
I was walking through a room of tropical plants in The San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers, located in beautiful Golden Gate Park, when I noticed a small sign next to, what I was to discover, was a "carnivorous" plant. The sign talked about it's diet - which of course captured my interest....
International location shoots, which included parts of England, France, Germany, Canada and the United States, for my first documentary The Perfect Human Diet™ began in the summer of 2006. At that time I was attending San Francisco State University to learn TV and Film production, with an emphasis on documentary production.
As a broadcast journalist, my plan for the film was to shoot it as an investigative documentary looking for solutions - not make an attack film trying to beat up perceived "bad guys", or setting out with an agenda to prove one way of nutritional thinking over another...
Most of us have heard the "definition of insanity" defined as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I first heard that phrase 30 years ago at a Dr. Wayne Dyer lecture in San Diego - long before Oprah made it mainstream.
Now, everyone from corporate CEO's to classroom professors use the popular catch phrase "think outside of the box" to stimulate creative brainstorming for new ideas. But I believe Albert Einstein said the same thing in an infinitely more practical way....
Welcome to my new blog.
