Oh - on the studies about coffee -- I haven't pulled them -- but Im skeptical. I know a lot are industry funded studies -- I think the probability is that coffee (like a lot of plants) is fantastic in medicinal settings -- but I was to the point where I drank 24 ounces a day --- not medicinal. Addictive.

My dad -- Arthur Lysiak - he was a college professor (don't hold that against him) - he had a photographic memory but used his intellect to live in the real world and experience a life of joy.

The ghost of Ancel Keys - followed by the ghost of John Maynard Keynes..

Great question - HFCS --

This is a sweetener that only exists due to fiat subsidies...

I'm half Italian - so yeah, when I'm not strict carnivore I'll do a granny slice

Thanks! Let me know what you think!

I'm a bit shocked by the books popularity. This was a passion project - but has taken off a bit - being translated into four new languages and already out in Polish.

Not familiar with Saltins - will look into..

Kelloggs and the Seventh Day adventist occupy a great portion of my book :)

Appreciate the question - hope this helps ---"When egg prices rose in the spring of 1966 and Agriculture Secretary Orville Freeman told him that not much could be done, Johnson had the Surgeon General issue alerts as to the hazards of cholesterol in eggs." - this is from an aide to LBJ Joseph Califino as quoted by Robert Samuelson in the Great Inflation and its aftermath

This is a great forum. Appreciate it Ben - hope everyone has a great day! For any future questions please hit me up @matthewlysiak on Twitter

I do THINK this is true - but finding a smoking gun is difficult - the fiat money printer and the (captured) agencies controls the grant process that funds the studies...it would be like big tobacco funding a study that linked its own product to cancer...

I think the smoking gun exists all around us - we don't need a study - just look at the state of the country!

All great points. The dream thing is a huge red flag - I mean, wtf?

The corporations are simply following a corrupted incentive process...punching down at them is just low-hanging fruit. They have an obligation to their share-holders - not to the public.

Yeah - Calley is doing great work in exposing the issue that our food has been corrupted - but he is missing the mark. And it is disappointing.

I know, I know...:)

I need to make this happen soon! Your not the first to get on me about it..

Have you tried giving up coffee?

This is a tough one - and I can only speak personally - without data -I was prompted by a friends experience - It hasn't been life changing for me like carnivore - but it has improved my sleep, which I think has a trickle down effect.

Oh - I have a lot of thoughts. Most of them piss me off - because we have this moment where the attention of the nation is on how the food supply has been corrupted - but the messengers (although well intentioned) - are missing the mark. The source isn't corporate greed - that has been around long before people were sick. The primary is the degradation of the money supply - and until this is recognized - we are only treating symptoms while ignoring root causes

Hey Ben - yes - the corruption in the money supply/diet is intertwined with the field of medicine. I wanted to give this more coverage in Fiat Food - but decided it needed a book of its own
