As I was growing up in my grandparent's household my grand dad became a food faddist. He took over 90 vitamins a day. Everything was diet with him. He read what I would consider nonsense literature about conspiracies with the American Medical Association, synthetic vitamins and other claptrap. But, he believed.
I've never had any trouble with sickness, allergies or diet-related maladies. Why?
I have a fortunate gene pool behind me.
Some people inherit sensitivity to their enviornments and others don't.
I think much of diet-related thinking is just like religion: just another thing to obsess about and believe in.
Grand dad came from the same gene pool. His mother, who ate like a rat, lived into her 90's without any special diet. He lived to 91.
What disturbs me about subjective assessment of eating and effect is the "testimonial" aspect of the literature. Somebody is always ranting about......THEM: the others who conspire to keep us sick and dependant.
If the paranoia could be scraped off and the exaggerated reactionary rhetoric peeled away you'd probably just find snake oil and common sense left over.
Don't eat too much of anything.
Avoid fatty foods.
Exercise.
Don't smoke.
Be moderate.
Anybody could live better with the above.
All the rest is probably a way of separating you from your sanity and your wallet.

Ummmm, Terry, finding out that I have celiac's disease and also that my body does not tolerate grains and other substances has nothing to do with obsessing about food.
To the contrary, it has freed me from the 'diet cults' that are so rampant in our culture. That is why I try to spread this information via word of mouth.
That is why I asked for details ... I refuse to PAY to learn about such things.
The processed foods and way of eating in our society is horrendous, and we need to educate ourselves and learn new ways of looking at food.
I agree with your post --- the diet industry is sucking billions from the masses. People read a book, eg, Fit For Life, or the Scarsdale Diet, and become 'converts' to a new belief,,, it's sickening.
But it's not quite that simple (ie, your recipe for a good diet). Many of us have genetic predispositions, and we are all different. Because of the chemicals and hormones that are in our foods, lots of folk also have sensitivities and other problems associated with diet. Exploring and learning about what our individual needs are is key, obsessing about it is not.

Professor Arnold Ehret's "Mucusless Diet Healing System". "Scientific Method of Eating Your Way to Health". I have the paperback that I bought recently for $4.95. Best of all, he was endorsed by early WT literature . Look it up for yourself on the net or at the Quotes site. For entertaining reading it's a hoot.
There are interesting links between inflammation and a host of problems that we're just now seeing. However, w/o even going to the link provided, I can bet with confidence that it doesn't have the "answer", because science doesn't have the "answer".
Science tells us "inflammation" has been found to be a root cause of this or that, and a million hucksters (quite possibly sincere, but deluded) sieze on it "finally, something simple, that common folk can understand". But in truth, there is nothing simple about it. We are complex machines, and none of us work exactly the way the machine next to us works. There will be no magic pill forthcoming from the healthfood industry.
Well, darn. He doesn't say much, does he? Mostly teasers, and invites to subscribe to his newsletter. Thanks for the link, though. I will check out his book the free way anyhow ---- the library. heheh
I understand your enthusiasm. When we find something that helps us out so much, it's only natural to be eager to share with our friends. Thanks!
Have you read Elaine Gottschall's book,,, I can't remember the name of it (I'm not home, so can't grab it), but she went back to school, got her MSc, and spent years researching the gut in hopes that she could help her daughter who was dying from bowel disease.
Surprise! Her daughter is now in her forties, and thriving. All due to the Absolute Carbohydrate Diet (which, by the way, is not Gottshall's alone, but a way of eating recommended for those with gut problems by other researchers as well). Amazing stuff, and all freely provided on her website. Every detail of her findings, and what to eat and not to eat.
Check it out -- just google her name and voila! there it is.
