GMO에 대한 기초 상식 – 2탄

Douglas Hong — Sun, 19 Apr 2020 09:48:09 +0000

GMO에 대한 의견을 드리려는 목적으로 이 기사를 올리지는 않았습니다. 단지 한국에서는 너무나 여러 통로로 GMO 식품을 대할 기회가 많은데, 이걸 표기 하지 않기 때문에 문제가 있다고 생각 합니다. 저희가 알 권리가 있다고 생각해서 공유 합니다. 선택은 각자 할 수 있다고 생각합니다.

GMO에 대한 기초 상식 – 1탄

Douglas Hong — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 05:13:40 +0000

아래 기사를 보시면 한국의 실정에 대해 알 수 있습니다. 2016년에 쓴 기사고 기사 안에 data는 2014년 data를 가지로 썼지만 그래도 배울 점과 현황 파악은 어느 정도 가능 할 걸로 생각됩니다. Genetically Modified Organism이 좋고 나쁘고를 떠나 얼마나 우리 생활 속에 많이 침투 되어 있다는 게 놀랍고, 한국이 일본 다음으로 GMO 수입국 이라는 것에 놀랐습니다.

Cholesterol and Cancer

The China Study shows that there is a very high correlation between cholesterol and cancer. But the article brings up a Dutch study where there was no correlation found between cholesterol and cancer. How could this be?

Looking at 3 different diets

Douglas Hong — Sat, 21 Mar 2020 08:44:10 +0000

Here are 3 diets that Americans face, that people, in general consider healthy. Obviously, if you are in the Keto camp, it would be a very different story. I am not making judgement calls but simply looking at who says what is good, less bad, and bad.

The First on on the list is the diet recommended by the American Heart Association. I would like to refer to this diet as the Standard American Diet (SAD). Then there is the Mediterranean Diet, which many people like following because it feels healthy. Then there is Dr. Esselstyn’s Heart Disease Reversal Diet or the Whole Food Plant Based diet on steroids because it asks to watch the intake of all types of oils including nuts, advocados and coconut.

Foods to…	American Heart Association Diet	Mediterranean Diet	Esselstyn Heart Disease Reversal Diet
EMPHASIZE	Fruits, Vegetables, Whole grains, Fish, Poultry, Nuts, Low-fat dairy products.	Fruits, Vegetables, Whole grains, Fish, “Healthy fats” like olive oil, Nuts, Avocados	Fruits, Vegetables, Whole grains, Legumes, Healthy starches (potatoes, roots, etc.)
LIMIT	Red meat, Sugary foods & beverages, Saturated fat, Highly Processed food, Sodium, Alcohol.	Slightly limit: Yogurt, Cheese, Poultry, Eggs, Wine, Significantly limit: Red meat Sweets	Sweets, Soy foods, Alcohol, Caffeine
AVOID	Partially hydrogenated oil, Tropical oil, Excessive calories.	Nothing	Added oils, Meats (including fish & poultry), Eggs, Nuts, Avocados, Coconut, Dairy (all cow’s milk and cheese), Fruit juices
OTHER		N/A	Include vitamin B12 supplement

*Dr. Esselstyn addresses the question about nuts, avocado, and coconut:

“As nuts are a rich source of saturated fats, my preference is no nuts for heart disease patients. That also eliminates peanuts and peanut butter, even though peanuts are officially a legume. For those with established heart disease to add more saturated fat is inappropriate. For people with no heart disease who want to eat nuts, avocado, and coconut and are able to achieve a cholesterol of 150 and LDL of 80 or under without cholesterol lowering drugs, some nuts, avocado, and coconut are acceptable.”
