Summary
This episode is with Dr. Gary Fettke, world renouned surgeon in Tasmania. We discuss this thoughts on the origins of this virus, his advice to patients to stay healthy and well and a range of other topics including how our nutritional guidelines were created, and why cereals and juice are the worst things a person can eat for breakfast, among many other topics!
'Ex-Silenced' Orthopaedic Surgeon advocating real food. Healthy Eating advocate LCHF – Lower Carbohydrate and Healthy Fat.
"The consumption of Sugar and Polyunsaturated Seed Oils combine in our diet to create inflammation in every blood vessel wall and in every tissue in every organ of the body. The addition of refined carbohydrates including bread, white rice and pasta only aggravates the damage process.
Fructose (50% of Sugar), Polyunsaturated Oils and Refined Carbohydrates look to be the major contributors to most of our modern conditions including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, dementia, cancer and a raft of other conditions.
This is the problem for us all and our children – right now! Take back control by choosing LCHF – Lower Carbohydrate and Healthy Fat living." http://www.nofructose.com/
Dr Gary Fettke is an Orthopaedic Surgeon practising in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. He has a major interest in the preventative medicine and encourages his patients to lose weight before undergoing surgery. Although his speciality is surgery, Gary believes it is much better to help people avoid surgery if at all possible by taking preventative measures, which often involve altering the diet.
In recent years Gary has focussed on the role of diet in the development of diabetes, obesity and cancer. He has been speaking out on the combined role of sugar, fructose, refined carbohydrates and polyunsaturated oils linking together to be behind inflammation and modern disease.
He has incurred the wrath of regulatory bodies for his stand on public health, but he and his wife, Belinda, remain active defending the benefits of low carb healthy fat living. There ongoing work has uncovered the vested interests and ideologies shaping nutritional guidelines at an international level.

A ketogenic diet may or may not be appropriate if you have type 2 diabetes, so you must consult with your physician if you have this condition.
