While "fusion cuisine" has at its core the timeless exchange of food traditions, shaped by the movement of people, trade, and innovation.

Dr. Ancel Keys helped popularize the belief that saturated fat was the primary cause of heart disease. Critics argue that his Seven Countries Study selectively used data supporting that conclusion. In the 1960s, the Sugar Research Foundation funded Harvard researchers who downplayed sugar's role in heart disease and emphasized dietary fat instead. This influenced decades of low-fat dietary guidelines. Later research renewed scrutiny of these recommendations.

In this video, Dr. Anthony Chaffee interviews Jayne Buxton about her book The Great Plant-Based Con, which challenges the health and environmental claims of plant-only diets. Buxton exposes how such diets can harm health, benefit Big Food and Big Pharma, and are promoted by biased media and powerful institutions. The book advocates for ethical, regenerative farming and omnivorous eating.

Many industrial seed oils—including corn, soybean, canola, peanut, grapeseed, cottonseed, and sunflower oil—and margarine are high in omega-6 fats, especially linoleic acid. These oils are widely used in processed and restaurant foods. At Comfort Keto, we avoid seed oils and margarine, choosing avocado, olive, and coconut oils, plus grass-fed butter and organic lard for cooking, baking, frying, and dressings.

Chef Janine’s keto Salisbury steak reimagines the classic American comfort dish with grass-fed beef, rich mushroom gravy, and low-carb sides like mashed cauliflower and garlic green beans. Originally developed by Dr. James Salisbury during the Civil War as a therapeutic minced beef dish, Salisbury steak evolved into a beloved TV dinner staple in the 1950s. This hearty keto version honors its rich history while delivering deep flavor and modern low-carb comfort.

Industrial seed oils now account for nearly one-third of calories consumed in the American diet, while chronic diseases affect approximately 60% of adults and account for roughly 90% of healthcare spending. In this interview with Dr. Eric Berg, Dr. Chris Knobbe explores the possible relationship between rising seed oil consumption and today's chronic disease epidemic, along with practical steps for reducing exposure to industrial seed oils.

Food sensitivity testing may help identify foods worth evaluating during an elimination diet. The Everlywell Food Sensitivity Test measures IgG reactivity to 96 foods and provides results ranging from normal to high reactivity. While it is not a diagnostic tool for food allergies, celiac disease, or lactose intolerance, it may offer useful insights when interpreted with the guidance of a physician, registered dietitian, or nutrition professional.

Aspartame is one of the world's most widely used artificial sweeteners and one of the most controversial. Critics have questioned its safety, approval process, and long-term health effects for decades, citing concerns about its breakdown products, industry influence, and regulatory decisions. This article explores the history of aspartame, the debates surrounding its approval, and why many consumers have turned to alternatives such as stevia while questioning products markete

Diet soda may be marketed as a healthier alternative to regular soda, but growing research suggests otherwise. Studies have linked frequent consumption of artificially sweetened beverages to increased risks of heart disease, declining kidney function, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, weight gain, depression, and disruptions to the gut microbiome. While more research is needed, water, unsweetened tea, and black coffee remain healthier choices for hydration and overall well

Dr. Paul Saladino argues that eating nose-to-tail animal foods provides all essential nutrients, while plants contain defense chemicals that may harm health. He questions the assumed benefits of polyphenols, fiber, and plant-based diets, highlighting that early humans were likely high-level carnivores. Organ meats are nutrient-dense and affordable. He advocates for fat-based metabolism, moderate protein intake, and challenges common views on plant compounds and supplements.

Struggling with sleep? Stress, poor diet, blue light, or an offbeat schedule could be to blame. But nature offers help: pistachios are packed with sleep-promoting nutrients like melatonin, B6, and magnesium. In fact, they're one of the most melatonin-rich plant foods — making them a safe, natural alternative to supplements. Just 2.6 oz (about 4 dozen) eaten 1–2 hours before bed can support restful, restorative sleep.

We’re in a metabolic health crisis driven by processed foods, sugar, and seed oils. On the Dhru Purohit Podcast, Calley Means reveals how corporate lobbying distorts nutrition science and public policy. They explore how misleading health guidelines, pharma influence, and lack of real education are fueling chronic illness—and why understanding how our bodies work is key to taking back control of our health.

Fructose can set the body on a pathway toward metabolic syndrome by triggering a cascade of metabolic changes that begins in the liver. In a study by Kimber Stanhope and colleagues, participants consumed sugary beverages instead of carbohydrate-rich foods such as rice, pasta, and bread. The findings highlighted how fructose affects metabolism and underscored the value of understanding what happens inside the body when making dietary choices.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading global cause of death. For decades, the conventional wisdom has been that the consumption of...

Robert Downey Jr. selling cricket kibble? Nicole Kidman nibbling bugs? “Eat the bugs” became a meme—but is it safe? This video dives into industrial insect farming, parasite risks 🦠, and the shady “Circular Economy” where bugs eat trash—and you eat the bugs. 🔁 💩➡️🍴 Is this really sustainable—or corporate control in eco-packaging? ♻️ Question the hype, read the labels, and don’t swallow the narrative.

Food manufacturers often replace healthy fats with sugar to enhance taste and increase sales. Sugar does not always appear as "sugar" on ingredient labels. It may be listed under dozens of different names, including glucose, fructose, sucrose, dextrose, maltose, lactose, and galactose. Multiple sugar names may even appear within the same ingredient list. Being aware of these alternative names can help you make more informed food choices and avoid products containing more suga

The body needs high-quality protein for muscle, hormone, and cell function. Not all proteins are equal—animal proteins like eggs and meat are more bioavailable and complete in essential amino acids than most plant proteins. Research shows most people, especially Americans, don’t get enough quality protein. A 135 lb person needs 75–100g daily, not just 50g. Plant-based claims from films like The Game Changers often ignore real nutritional science and amino acid bioavailability

Minerals are crucial for physical and mental health, with some being essential since the body cannot produce them. Imbalances can lead to issues unless regulated by diet. For those on a keto diet, sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium are key electrolytes. They help with fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle health. Foods like avocados, yogurt, leafy greens, and fish provide these minerals, supporting overall wellness and preventing deficiencies.
