Welcome back for the first Listeners’ Roundtable episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast with Robert Su, MD. In this premiere roundtable, I invite Ms. Mary Titus from the audience and previous guest Ms. Misty Humphrey as my featured guests. When I interview with a guest who is a physician, scientist, nutritionist or dietitian, they can provide you with a great deal of information that you need, but the Roundtable Discussions allow us to take listeners like you, one or two experts, and myself, to a more casual environment where we can speak freely and naturally about the everyday issues of living a low-carb lifestyle, and to answer the questions that you have been wondering about. In this episode, we discussed low carb recipe diva Dana Carpender, Bruce Fife‘s book on low-carb cooking with coconut, lifestyle blog The Lighter Side Of Low-Carb, fasting, the importance of breakfast, the value of eggs as a low-carb staple, collard greens, avacados, bacon, raw dairy, snacking on restaurant butter, and much more! This first-ever low carb health roundtable was a lot of fun, and I think you will probably be able to tell! I hope you will contact me by e-mail when you want to join us in this, informative, fun and interesting program for a future episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast.

Pam Shoenfeld and Adele Hite are the featured guests in today’s episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast. Welcome back. Please forgive some ongoing audio issues; we are working to correct them in future episodes. Ms. Schoenfeld is a registered dietitian. Ms. Hite is a graduate student in the MPH/RD and PhD Nutrition Epidemiology programs at UNC-Chapel Hill School of Public Health. As discussed last week in episode 18, the proposed Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010 (the USDA “Food Pyramid”) are deeply flawed, and many scientists, physicians, nutritionists, dietitians, and the concerned public are voicing their opposition to accepting them without an extensive overhaul. Ms. Shoenfeld and Ms. Hite, joined by Professor Richard Feinman, Professor Richard Wood and Gabriel E. Guzman, PhD, authored an article, “In the face of contradictory evidence: Report of the Dietary Guidelines for American Committee.” They are here to give details of their viewpoints on this important issue. To help all Americans improve their health with healthy dieting, both Schoenfeld and Hite have organized “Healthy Nation Coalition.” You don’t want to miss this important opportunity to understand why both Ms. Schoenfeld and MS. Hite want to rectify the proposed Guidelines for improving your diet and health.

Professor Richard Feinman and Professor Richard Wood are the guests in this special episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast. Welcome back. The proposed Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010, was released on June 15. The proposed guidelines are not only virtually identical to the previous versions that promoted heavy carbohydrate consumption, but also go on to more severely restrict fat intake than its predecessors. The previous versions of the Dietary Guidelines have clearly led Americans into the path destined for more overweight and obesity, and more diseases such as diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, stroke, cancer, and others. However, the US Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services show in their 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, that they have not understood the concerns that are shared by scientists, physicians, nutritionists, dietitians, and the public. Professor Feinman and Professor Wood, joined by two nutritionists and one salt specialist, authored an article, “In the face of contradictory evidence: Report of the Dietary Guidelines for American Committee.” They are here to explain their viewpoints on this important issue. Make sure that once you listen to why Professors Feinman and Wood do not agree with the proposed Guidelines, decide what you should do for your diet and health.

Ms. Judy Barnes Baker is my featured guest in this episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast with Robert Su, MD. Welcome back! After following dietary advice favoring high carbohydrate, low fat diets from government agencies and organized medical groups such as the American Diabetes Association, American Heart Association, and American Medical Association, many more of us have become overweight, obese and diabetic; additionally suffering from diseases including — but not limited to — coronary artery disease, cancer, arthritis, and Alzheimer’s disease. So, many more of us have switched our diets to carbohydrate-restricted, fat-rich diets to restore our health and save our lives. We had hoped that organized medicine would realize that its dietary obsession injured and killed many of us, but it has not budged and continues to practice wrong-headed medicine on us. Ms. Baker is an artist, low-carb-dieter and author of Carb Wars: Sugar Is The New Fat as well as the upcoming book, Eating On The Edge: Menus and Recipes for Weight Loss, Diabetes, and Metabolic Syndrome. She will share with us a bizarre story about the American Diabetes Association and why she prepared her second book. You sure don’t want to miss this interesting interview with Ms. Baker.

Dag Viljen Poleszynski is my featured guest in this very special episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast with Robert Su, MD. Welcome back. During the recent decades, the Paleolithic diet of our ancestors has been mentioned frequently as it probably helped the cavemen avoid obesity and diseases such as coronary artery disease and diabetes mellitus. Many people around the world apparently employ this diet for restoring their health. Dr. Poleszynsk holds an undergraduate degree in business administration in Norway, studied language and social science, before taking a sharp turn and receiving a master’s degree in the science of nutrition. Then, he earned a PhD in the historical analysis of complimentary medicine. Dr. Poleszynski, a Paleolithic dieter, knows the diet intimately, including the details of its evolution and its impact on the health of our ancestors. We need to know if the Paleolithic diet, which is similar but not identical to the carbohydrate-restricted diet, is the answer to today’s health crisis. You surely want to learn about the Paleolithic diet from Dr. Dag Poleszynski. Wish to invite Dr. Su to speak at your meeting, contact us at jevpublishing@verizon.net Website:    http://www.vof.no

Donald Miller, M.D. is my featured guest in this enlightening episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast with Robert Su, MD. Welcome back! Physicians are supposed to be the people who believe and follow only the truth like scientists do. They should master what they have learned in both the basic and clinical science and know how parts and functions of the body is connected to each other with rationale. Unfortunately, we have witnessed many physicians today simply follow in the footsteps of organized medicine and the nose of pharmaceutical companies. They have lost the ability of judging the rationale of each piece of medical information. They just memorize the information and follow the standard of care, even when that has cost the patients’ health and lives. Dr. Miller, a cardiac surgeon and Professor of Surgery at the University of Washington School of Medicine, found that the postoperative dietary advice for his patients was terribly irrational with the high carbohydrate and low fat diet. To improve his patients’ postoperative outcome, he has adopted a low carbohydrate, high fat diet in his dietary advice. We need more good physicians like Dr. Miller who tells us what the real science is. Do not miss out this great interview with Dr. Donald Miller.

Dr. Jim Bjork, O.D.  is the our guest for this week’s fascinating episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast with Robert Su, MD. Welcome back! Many people, especially those who still think that they are young, always take a lax attitude toward the advice on health. They would say, “Oh, I am young and healthy. Disease will not happen to me.” Yes, they think that they are invincible. Unfortunately, many diseases do not happen overnight. Rather, it takes a long time for these diseases to become symptomatic. By the time when they notice the symptom and seek medical advice and treatment, they may find the medical advices and treatment are ineffective. Dr. Jim Bjork, a Canadian optometrist, thought he was healthy because he had been careful about his lifestyle including diets until he found that he was a diabetic. After he was dissatisfied with the medical and nutritional care for his diabetes, he went on to look into dietary changes for controlling his diabetes. In his research, he discovered many dirty secrets that have hurt all of us. Come and listen to what the secrets are that Dr. Bjork is going to unveil for you!

Mark-John Clifford is the featured guest on this week’s episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Show with Robert Su, MD. Welcome back! When I was a pharmacy and medical student during 1960’s, diabetes mellitus (DM) was a disease only found in about 5% of the US population. In 2007, 10.7% of it, aged 20 years or older was diagnosed with DM,. During the same period, 23.1% of it aged 60 years or older had DM. The total medical cost related to DM was 174 billion dollars for 2007. The rate for new cases of DM has increased rapidly each year. Worse of all, many people do not realize that they have developed DM, until their incidental blood and urine tests yield abnormal readings of sugars. By the time, when DM is diagnosed many of them have already developed other diseases, which are a result of hyperglycemia. If they had conducted semiannual or annual serial blood sugar tests, they would have found the mass of the insulin producing pancreatic beta cells is shrunk and could have restricted carbohydrates for preventing them from becoming DM. Mark-John did not know he was a diabetic even for a good while after he suffered from coronary artery syndrome. Worst of all, he could not improve his health conditions based on the ill dietary advices by the medical establishment. He finally had to do his own research and changed his dietary style for controlling his DM. With his terrible personal experience, he has initiated a crusade to raise public awareness of DM and its prevention. Do not miss this very revealing interview with Mark-John about Diabetes Mellitus.

Welcome back for another interesting episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast with Robert Su, MD. In this episode, British lawyer/nutrition writer, Ms. Hannah Sutter is the featured guest. We all have been repeatedly advised by the governmental agencies and the medical professional organizations about how dangerous the roles of fats on the health are, particularly the saturated fats. Most of their studies include the trans fats, the synthetic fats created by chemically hydrogenating their unsaturated bonds, which are recognized for their health risks. However, the governmental agencies and the medical professional organizations have never told us trans fats and saturated fats are two completely different things. Besides, they have also failed to realize that saturated fats are vitally important to our health and are not responsible for overweight and obesity. Ms. Sutter was stunned by the facts that two of her acquaintance had slimmed themselves by eating more fats. Sutter even gave up her successful law practice and began to research the truth of how dieting impacts the health and wrote a book, “Big Fat Lies: Is Your Government Making You Fat?.” Ms. Sutter will tell you in this interview how misinformation about fats and health has been played up and is leading us into the path of a big health hazard. Be sure to listen to this most fascinating interview with Sutter about the truths you have never been told that are hidden behind big fat lies.

Welcome back for another inspiring episode of the Carbohydrates Can Kill Podcast with Robert Su, MD. In this episode, Sofie Hexeberg, M.D. of Norway is the featured guest. Being aware of the rising trends in during the recent decades, more people have been trying different diets and increasing exercise to lose weight and their health. Among the diets, restricting carbohydrates have been most debatable, but yielded more success. Studies have shown restricting carbohydrate has so far produced better results not only in weight loss but also in improvement of health. However, we really need more physicians, like myself, who have the first-hand experience in restricting carbohydrate and are enthusiastic in helping their patients use carbohydrate restrictions for improving the health. Dr. Hexeberg in this interview will tell you about her success in helping her patients do the same that her did for herself in restricting carbohydrate for improving their health. Don’t miss this most informative interview with Dr. Hexeberg about how you should diet to improve your health.
