Quotes
“It is the man-made, processed, nutrient deficient, toxic foods that are the problem.”
“The way to avoid that [the unhealthy effects of processed fats], is to get back to the animal fats”
“When we replaced the healthy animal fats with vegetable oils, we got sick.”
“These fats create mitochondrial dysfunction.”
“The processed food diet sits at the epicenter [of ill health], and that leads to catastrophic disease.”
“When we consume these oils, they don’t leave our body that day, they become us.”
