The bottom line is that research creates health claims, and health claims sell
products. Whether the product is some new ‘functional’ food or the latest diet
program, if research says it works, it will sell more, guaranteed.
Very soon into my readings I began to realize that the research on weight loss had
become so skewed with politics that it has turned into the world’s most ironic
oxymoron. After all, the research was trying to uncover the completely backwards
idea; ‘what should we eat to lose weight?!’
When I realized that almost all nutrition research was working under this completely
backwards paradigm, I understood that I had only one choice. If I was to avoid all of
the bias and vested influence in today’s nutrition research then I had to go back to the
absolute beginning. I had to conduct a thorough review of exactly what happens to
human beings in the complete absence of food.
