Healthy Eating for Men
Healthy Eating for Men provides an overview of healthy eating, aimed specifically at middle-aged men. It provides over-views, and links for, diets that are recommended by nutritional scientists of the highest calibre. It is updated on a regular basis. The results of nutrition experiments are coming in daily, and no print book can be up to date. But to provide useful background, I would recommend Eat, Drink, And Be Healthy by Walter C. Willett, M.D. Latest update:
- A study on mercury and heart disease by Kuopio University (Jan 2005), looked at 2,682 Finnish men and found a 50 to 70 percent greater risk of heart attacks and heart disease among those with elevated mercury levels. The men least likely to develop heart problems had low levels of mercury and high levels of omega-3 fatty acids. Fish highest in mercury include shark, pike and tuna, and other large, long-lived predators at the top of the food chain. Fish lowest in mercury, highest in omega-3 fatty acids, close to the bottom of the food chain, and short-lived include: salmon, sardines, pilchards and mackerel.
In late 2004 the Polymeal diet came to the fore. Like the Mediterranean diet it gave prominence to fruits and vegetables and alcohol.
benefits of health supplements
There's no money in recommending a simple, healthy diet--the expensive lobbyists work for the fast-food corprations. Even the British Nutrition Foundation, which offers some good advice, was set up by corporate giants. Margaret Thatcher tried to bury the report by her own NACNE (National Advisory Committee on Nutrition Education), which concluded in 1983 that too much fat, salt, sugar and meat, and too little fresh fruit, vegetables and fibre contributes to the incidence of cancer and other diseases.
In October 2004, the Lancet published a review of the evidence from the studies of antioxidant supplements - including beta-carotene, vitamins A, C and E and selenium - on oesophageal, gastric, colorectal, pancreatic and liver cancers. All the seven high-quality trials indicated that people on supplements actually had higher mortality rates. Only selenium appeared to be helpful - a mineral that is ingested less in the UK since we began to get our flour from Europe, which has selenium-depleted soil, instead of Canada.
