Poison-Free Diet (Latewire)

Daniel Roe Tries His Own Medicine

Fri, 26 Mar 2010 15:09:02 GMT

I've written rather extensively about dieting on this site in the past, and have used my own experience as well as my training in the past 3 years of medical school to back it up, hopefully to help people get on a sustainable path to a healthier life. Unfortunately, all the while my own lifestyle is saddled with a bit of hypocrisy. While I rail against bad lifestyle on here, my own personal diet is basically an abominable heap of shit.I don't consume soda, sweets, or carb-loaded snacks, but I eat fast food nearly every day out of convenience. The only reason my weight has been controlled is ...

'Depression' Linked to Processed Foods... By Idiots

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:02:57 GMT

Depression has been linked to processed food according to the bad-science-embracing BBC.In this article, they're basically saying 'junk food' is bad, and stating that 'processed food' is synonymous with 'junk food', and therefore also bad.Of course with the UK waddling down the trail blazed by the US in regards to unhealthiness and lard-buttedness, they're having increased incidence of gluttony-N-sloth-related illnesses.Depression, of course, is one of them.The problem with making the leap from depression to processed food is that unprocessed food can and does lead to just as many problems ...

On Pizza : Review of Pizza Fusion and a brief how-to for DIY

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 05:31:18 GMT

Today, I wrapped up a weekend of Italian food adventure with a trip to Pizza Fusion in Mesa to check out their organic pies and general vibe. It's very hard to find restaurants that serve organic chow in Phoenix, and I'm a stone-cold pizza fanatic, so I was uber stoked to experience this joint. Now, when I mention my pizza fanaticism affliction, I'm not kidding around. I was a regular haunter of Bianco's before it blew up and turned into a day trip instead of a date, and I've pored over every word of Jeff Varsano's blog like it was Henry Jones' Grail diary. Pizza gets created from ...

BP and Special K+ - Dr. Roe's Poisoned Foods Part 4

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 00:03:11 GMT

The PhD who taught us nutrition at our medical school was this old skinny vegetarian guy who, after three decades of teaching, still had a modicum of enthusiasm for professing, but none left for research. On the rare occasions he did update his lectures, he'd do it by just adding an addendum to his PowerPoints stating the exact opposite of what he'd just spent 45 minutes talking about. Through no fault of his own, he taught us the folly of thinking you know everything, and the skepticism required when dealing with statistics and studies.One thing that always did strike me as extremely solid ...

Organic flatbread series : the easy white pizza for you

Thu, 09 Apr 2009 09:19:02 GMT

There's a simmering icy volatility deep in the reality crevice tonight. I can feel the parasite crows pecking away at the chinks in my spiritual armor. When I start to feel like that, I know that there's only two things that can help me : a stiff dose of The Book of Joel, and some delicious and effortless flatbread. Flatbread as we understand here it has a lot in common with pizza, but is less formal and not subject to the strict pizza rules. This is like the distinction between a Reuben and a standard sandwich -- one is a highly Platonic construct that borders on religion, and the other ...

Aspartame Vs Wild - Dr. Roe's Poisoned Foods Part 3

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 01:43:34 GMT

Last time on Poisoned foods, I ended with a teaser about the artificial sweetener Aspartame (NutraSweet) and made the blanket statement that it shouldn't be used by dogs, cats, rats, or, I guess, you.There's this old lore floating around which may or not be true regarding the Romans and lead pipes. Roman plumbers used to use lead because it was cheap and extremely easy to work with--low melting point, very soft, etc. In fact, the latin word for "plumber" is named after their word for lead, "plumbum." Lead is a rather annoying poison with subtle effects like infertility, anemia, and mental ...

Poison-Free : Organic Bread Recipe Made Easy

Fri, 06 Mar 2009 10:32:20 GMT

The kids on the Internet seem to find this site when they're looking for organic bread recipes, like the one I wrote last year. Pretty encouraging, huh? Poison-free food is for everybody. That recipe is pretty labor-intensive, though, and I'd hate folks to get turned off from the home-baking thing because of the hassle factor.So, in the spirit of the classic New York Times no-knead five-minute bread recipe, here's the preferred Easy Organic Bread Recipe, now heavily favored for daily use at the house of Hank. The wife and I now often use the Dutch oven method recommended by the NYT ...

Insulin is Easy - Dr. Roe's Poisoned Foods Part 2

Tue, 06 Jan 2009 01:12:46 GMT

Last time on poisoned foods, I explained how PhDs are full of crap, and how it is that this comes to effect doctors and their advice to patients (you).

Unfortunately, this time I'm going to have to get a little bit more scientific on you. Sorry for the diversion, but once you understand at least some of the science behind metabolism, you too will be able to "call bullshit" on the PhDs. They'd like to keep science confined to the narrow confines of their tiny pinheads, but the reality is that science is for everybody, and it doesn't take an especially smart person (or someone who just thinks ...

Calories Are BS - Dr. Roe's Poisoned Foods Part 1

Sun, 07 Dec 2008 05:33:13 GMT

Intro: Why We Docs Get it Wrong

So I'm sitting up here in Cake City trotting through my second year of medical school and I thought it was time to stop and take stock of some of the things I've learned.

For instance, I can tell you first-hand now that the reason doctors give conflicting advice is because the professors from whom all us pre-doctors learn the academics of our profession don't actually profess correct information, but actually a mixture of up-to-date facts, out-of-date facts, and outright lore in unknown proportions they've concocted from many years of palling around with ...
