I have been using Dr. Rosedale's nutrition program with my weight loss clients for several years with excellent results! Getting blood sugars under control, as far as I am concerned, is the first step in any nutritional program. It's also important to read The China Study and to understand how to incorporate MODERATE protein and fats into one's eating plan.

So people here are saying past scientific facts can sometimes be debunked, so shouldn't always be taken as fact.Then the religious say you'll find only facts, in the Bible. I heard the Bible says the Earth is flat. Is that right? Mad concludes, "Form a relationship with our Heavenly Father". Does that mean you then won't have to concern yourself with science?

Research with twins has lead to evidence that religious belief is usually inherited.So having a relationship with something you can't see, hear, or feel, seems a childish fantasy to someone who hasn't inherited a religious brain. I know of the Bible's instruction, "Seek & you will find...Knock & the door will be opened." If after seeking, you don't find anything, or have the door open, it's basically not possible to believe in a God the way he presented in ancient text written by men. By observing life though, it can't be disputed it is intellegently designed.

Just a comment about absolute truth, in Levitcus, the Bible tells us that the life life of the flesh is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11), written by Moses some 1445 BC. Thats pretty good science and there are many other scientific observations in the Bible which would take more time to discuss than I have to write. As for science being something that is proven rather than believed, why are so many of the anthropological findings frauds such as "Lucy". How many people attained Phd's based on what turned out to be a total fraud and there are many others. I majored in anthropology in college and have since come to know that "Darwinian" evolution is impossible and Darwin even recognized that before he died and admitted that he may have devoted his whole life to a fraud which he himself called the "devil's gospel". One other thought, an earlier writer kindly mentioned that the Bible had a few historical facts, to qualify this again from a scientific vantage point, there are literally thousands of archaelogical discoveries in Israel that corroborate the biblical account of history in this area, whenever they want to find something they consult the bible and dig accordingly. Saying all that, God says we are "fearfully and wonderfully made" and I believe as most readers, that if we put in our bodies what God has created for us to eat and drink, we will have remarkable health. Unfortunately we know that the battle in most instances comes down to "follow the money", (big pharma, mass production, etc.) something again that the Bible talks about, the love of money (yes I'm aware of all the televangelist frauds on TV, the Bible has warned about them too). I hope this has not been offensive to some, Jesus said we are to be peace makers and that is my intent, speak the truth in love.

Grace and peace.

While I agree with the Dr.'s conclusion to limit sugar in the diet, I don't necessarily agree with the starting point of his reasoning. He said it doesn't matter what your beliefs are in relation to how long man's been here, etc., then goes on to assume man evolved from single celled organisms over billions of years. Now, if you believe that God created man in his image and that our ancestors (i.e. Adam and Eve) lived to be 900 years old, then his statement that we were 'made to reproduce young and nature doesn't care after that' just doesn't make sense. We WERE made to live long, but we've messed it up by polluting our food supply and replacing our natural foods with processed garbage, not to mention we sit on our fat behinds all day instead of getting plenty of exercise.

i wish this dr. rosedale's videos would be a bit more... easy flowing? not sure how to say it, but it seems like he's reading <b>veeeerrry</b> slowly. having a movie transcript available would be good for people who are pressed for time.

he's got great information, and i pass his videos along, but they'd be a little easier to watch and more stimulating if they were less monotone and more... lively, as if he were excited about the information, kind of like how dr. mercola sounds. you absolutely NEED that energy to grasp your viewers and have people listen to you otherwise they'll fall asleep.

maybe someone could let him know? he'll reach a wider audience that way i'm sure. this is constructive criticism, not bashing him, i think he's great. i'm super interested in this kind of stuff but honestly there's no energy in this recording. it could be done better. it's great information. if the recording is more interesting then more people would be able to benefit from it. if it's too boring, people aren't going to want to recommend it to their friends.

Wow...I learn something new everyday. I think that we should all have an open mind to do further research before "bashing" anything said on this video. I personally thought it was interesting and I will learn more about it.

Formula for Youth Is Beer and Cigarettes

15th April 2008

Old Buster Martin, the pint 'n' *** marathoner, keeps going strong.

Buster, of whom we have previously reported, completed the London Marathon (approximately 26 miles) on Sunday. A break at the thirteen mile mark for a pint of beer and a cigarette was all he needed to keep up steam. Buster still works and also sings with a rock group called the Zimmers. He has run in various marathons and completed them all under the power of his beloved pints and fags. The Guinness Book is not recognizing Buster as the oldest ever to complete a marathon unless he can provide definitive proof of his birth date. Mister Martin, born in France, insists he is 101 but records are inconsistent, some recording his year of birth as 1906, but others as 1913. If he’s been a rogue about the seven years’ difference we’ll say he’s been an amusing rogue. Most of us won't make it to our nineties, let alone to a hundred or more, so while moderation is a virtue, never ever stop enjoying what you enjoy. We link to several articles and a video below all about Buster. We also note that the Los Angeles Times and CNN reported on this story, including a humorous stress on Buster’s love of beer, but censoring absolutely that he smoked. Adopting the press policies of the old Tass and Pravda is something rather worse than roguish. Many of us learned long ago not to trust the press and that grows old fast: societies infected with ideology are very sick indeed.

I go along with others commenting on this and other articles. While I appreciate the subject matter, the audio quality is not always good and others do not often want to hear what is being said, no matter how good I think it is.

I would appreciate a written version under the screen so I could choose to watch or listen.

please don't forget, not all devotees of Mercola.com are American and sometimes we have difficulty with voice inflections regardless of the quality of the audio.

cheers David

Turn the lights down! The picture is totally blown out and the poor Dr. can hardly open his eyes. Simple video quality please.

About the title: 1) LIfe is not a 'game', and 2) how arrogant of its author that any one of us is or will be wiser than Nature. That's the same thinking as Big Pharma with their man-made chemicals.

Where did the oxygen come from that was found in the glucose used as an organism's fuel before fat was used as fuel? The chemical formula for glucose is C6H12O6 - imagine that, one oxygen for every carbon. I wonder where that oxygen came from? Just asking.

The subject matter was interesting enough to prompt further exporing.

I like to read what Dr. Rosedale has to say but I'm afraid we're experiencing a new chapter in the dumbing-down of society: the increasing dominance of online videos.
