DR. GEORGIA EDE
- Went to medical school in Vermont
- Did her residency at Harvard for four years
- Dr. Ede believes that for many, it is easier to believe that saturated fat is what causes fat
- Not always financial bias
- Ex: Loma Linda University study (promotes vegetarian diet) found that saturated fats hurt mice (they ignored that also in the higher fat diet was a MUCH greater amount of sugar)
- Other studies that say meat is bad removed all processed foods at the same time
- There are no pure studies that say animal foods are bad for your health
- She believes removing the processed foods is where the money is at
- Now, Dr. Georgia does not eat plant foods or dairy
- Fish and other meats
- Pretty extreme diet
- In ketosis constantly
- Insulin has to cross into the brain
- Your brain can become insulin resistant
- Then your cells will starve to death when your brain is filled with glucose that can’t be broken down
- Link between sugar consumption and Alzheimer
- She agrees that these artificial sweeteners are so similar to sugar that your body can’t really tell the difference
- They trick the body into thinking carbs are coming, thereby raising insulin levels
- Coffee, Dr. Ede believes, can be very helpful for those with head trauma, ADD, ADHD, etc.
- Stimulant is good!
- Maybe this is why Vinnie does so well with coffee
