The original Food Pyramid & its corrupt history is something that could be made into a Hollywood movie.
Really, it’s that bad!
I was shocked the more I dug into it & was thinking, “You gotta be kidding me!”
Here are the 6 things I learned…

Here's 6 Examples Of The Food Pyramid's Corrupt History
1) Based On Really Poor Science
2) A Dogmatic Scientist Who Bullies Other Questioning Scientists
3) Research Data That Was Hidden for Decades

The nutritional experts that were on the committee for the Food Pyramid (who were overruled in their original recommendations) predicted we would have large increases in the following when the Food Pyramid released in 1980:
•Obesity
•Diabetes
•Heart Disease
•Cancer
•Obesity
•Diabetes
•Heart Disease
•Cancer

And that's what has sadly transpired over the last 40+ years.
One can look up & clearly see the increases in all of these predicted increases
…and they are not slowing down.
But you can change that for yourself.
Luckily, you don’t have to be another statistic.

I believe the 1st step is understanding how we first got in this health crisis and metabolic mess.
Once you understand how the Food Pyramid formed, and why certain dietary recommendations are still made to this day, you will know what to do differently.

Before we jump into how the flawed Food Pyramid was formed (really bad, deceptive science & financial influence), I need to cover a little history leading up to it so you will understand the “why behind the what” that started us down this path.

Way back in 1913, a young Russian experimental pathologist in Saint Petersburg named Nikolai N. Anitschkow, reported that simply feeding rabbits a high-cholesterol diet produced arterial lesions that closely resembled those of human atherosclerosis (clogged arteries).
9
We all know that rabbits eat grass and foliage in the wild.
This is a 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘳𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘵 diet for rabbits since they are herbivores.
So, what high cholesterol plants did Nikolai feed them?

10
He fed the rabbits egg yolks and concentrated sunflower oil….umm, I’m pretty sure rabbits never eat either of these in the wild. 🤔
11
Not surprisingly, this genetically non-congruent diet for rabbits produced inflammation in their bodies, damage to their artery walls, increased production of cholesterol by their liver, and the subsequent atherosclerosis in their arteries.
12
This was the origin of the lipid-heart hypothesis, which essentially states cholesterol and saturated fats caused clogging of the arteries.
It is still the basis for many providers making recommendations and national organizations giving providers guidelines to treat patients.

You can read the 100-year anniversary article here praising Nikolai’s work.
But just remember, this hypothesis was all based on feeding a genetically NON-congruent diet to herbivores.

Now fast forward to Post WWII in the 1950’s America.
Infections and injuries from war had drastically reduced as the top killers in America.
There started to be a sudden rise in a new condition- myocardial infarctions.
Also known as “heart attacks”.

Middle-aged men (predominantly) and women started dropping dead at alarming rates.
In 1955, then President of the United States Dwight D. Eisenhower was playing golf in Denver.
He had a severe case of indigestion from what he thought was a hamburger.

Later that night he had severe chest pain.

The next afternoon an ECG was performed on his heart, and it was learned that he had a heart attack.
He then was in the hospital for 10 days.

17
As you can imagine, this made all kinds of headlines and was major news to the nation (and around the world).
At that point in time, focus was amplified on finding the root cause of what was causing the death of so many Americans.

Looking back at Eisenhower’s lifestyle, he was smoking a reported ~4 packs of cigarettes a day!
Remember, this was at a time in history where ads were run with doctors promoting the health benefits of smoking.

19
Fromm WW1 until that point, smoking rates had continued to rise in America due to advertising stating how smoking was healthy.
And rates of heart attacks increased right along with it.
Now you may be asking yourself, “Why would smoking be promoted as healthy back then?”

Well, of course it was due to the “research” and the "benefits" of smoking.
Which just happened to be influenced by the financial incentives of the tobacco companies (but that’s a whole other newsletter/article).
Since smoking was “healthy”, the cause was looked for elsewhere.

21
An individual named Dr. Ancel Keys came up with a hypothesis for the sudden surge in heart attacks.
People listened to Dr. Ancel Keys because he had notoriety for being instrumental in coming up with the K-rations (portable, light weight and calorie dense food) for WWII soldiers

22
Dr. Ancel Keys proposed the Diet Heart Hypothesis which stated that clogging of arteries was caused by saturated fat.
Remember the young Russian pathologist Nikolai Anitschkow from 1913?

23
Dr. Keyes actually got his Diet-Heart Hypothesis from Nikolai’s work…. The research that was based on 𝘕𝘖𝘕-𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘳𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘵 diets.
24
Remember, heart attacks were a modern disease epidemic that started showing increased rates prior to WWII.
But then post WWII really started to rise and was affecting the American population significantly.

So one might think, “How did saturated fats (consumed by humans for millennia) suddenly create this modern disease?”
Well, in short, they didn’t.
Well, in short, they didn’t.
26
However, Dr. Ancel Keyes was very dogmatic about pushing his Diet-Heart Hypothesis.
In fact, if other scientists questioned him on the legitimacy of his hypothesis as the root cause, he would vehemently attack back and shun them.

It was reported that he would bully dissenting colleagues and scientists regularly.

It is not proven or a law (like the Law of Gravity).

A hypothesis is a theory, and should be questioned to see if it proves out. That’s how science should work, it should be able to be questioned.
If it is the truth, it will uphold the scrutiny of the questioning.

However, Dr. Ancel Keys did not like his hypothesis questioned, defended it vigorously and publicly attacked and disgraced any scientist who thought otherwise.
Ultimately, his Diet-Heart Hypothesis was a fundamental basis for the Food Pyramid released in 1980 by the USDA.

This (and the financial lobbying by several national organizations) resulted in one of the biggest scams perpetuated on the American public.
To this day, it is still affecting so many Americans and people all around the world.

31
Why?
Because heart disease is still the #1 killer in America and around the world! In America, heart disease kills twice as many people as the next leading cause of death: cancer.

32
And as a reminder again, this was a modern disease that did not start having any significant rates of mortality until the 1920’s & really elevated in the late 1940’s & 1950’s.
However, with the growing rates of deaths, health officials were open to Dr. Keyes message & hypothesis

33
In 1955, Dr. Keyes presented at the World Health Organization and presented a chart of 6 countries.
It graphed out the countries and their respective percentages of death from cardiovascular disease (CVD) and their consumption of saturated fats.

Those that consumed more saturated fats, had higher incidences of CVD deaths.
Logically, all would make the conclusion to lower saturated fats to lower CVD deaths.
That logic holds true if the data was correct...

35
A later scientific rebuttal in 1956 showed that with the same available public data from 22 countries, the graph was all over the place and showed no correlation of saturated fat intake and heart disease.
This information unfortunately came out a little too late.

36
With his 6 country studies presentation at the WHO, Dr. Keyes begun receiving an annual $200,000 grant from the U.S. Public Health Services in 1956 to perform his famous 7 Countries Study
That's ~$2.3 million per year in today’s dollars!

In the interim, Dr. Keyes kept pushing for the lowering of dietary saturated fat consumption.
And replacing them with unsaturated fats, including polyunsaturated fats (aka: “vegetable” oils, seed oils, or Omega 6’s).

And in 1960 he was appointed to the American Heart Association’s nutrition committee.

However, in 1961 Keyes had convinced his colleagues to make official guidelines for the reduction of saturated fats and consume more polyunsaturated fats (seed oils).
41
Of note, the AHA had received $1.5+ million dollars in funding from Proctor & Gamble (P&G) up until this point.
P&G happened to have a product that was very profitable: Crisco.

Crisco is made from polyunsaturated fats (seed oils) that the AHA was now promoting
There didn’t seem to be any conflict of interest there… I’m hoping you can sense my sarcasm!
The AHA guidelines ultimately had an influence on the U.S. government’s Food Pyramid in 1980 as well

The Seven Countries Study
When his 7 Country Studies was published in 1978, it again “proved” there was a direct correlation of percentage of deaths due to CVD and increased saturated fat consumption of that country.

There was only one BIG problem.
Dr. Keyes study is what is referred to as an epidemiological study.
Meaning you look at a group of people, and you measure the rate of a particular incidence or issue across that group of people.

The Minnesota Coronary Experiment (MCE) was conducted from 1968-1973.

They replaced the saturated fats in diets of individuals with polyunsaturated fats (seed oils).

The data from the MCE research was literally suppressed for decades.
Yes, DECADES!

Once the data was finally released, in 2016 the British Medical Journal did an analysis of the data.
Here’s 3 results the BMJ surprisingly found:
1) The seed oil group had a 13.8% decrease in blood cholesterol
2) However, they had NO decreased risk in death from heart disease

3) In fact, for every 30 mg/dL DECREASE in blood cholesterol, there was a 22% INCREASE in death!
So, the group that replaced saturated fats with seed oils had an INCREASED risk of death from heart disease!
No wonder the data was suppressed for decades!

If that wasn’t bad enough, the Food Pyramid had other unscrupulous influencers in its origin for public health policy.

For this, we need to rewind about 8 years prior to the 1980 release of the Food Pyramid.
In the summer of 1972, the Nixon administration passed significant farm subsidy export bills for grain and commodity crops.

Most of the grain went to Russia due to their droughts in the previous years.
That summer, it was the largest exported sale of grains in U.S. history.
This allowed grain companies to make substantial profits off these programs.

In subsequent years, the United States had surpluses of wheat and grain production.
This was due to the increase of approximately 62 million more acres planted in the 1970’s from these subsidy programs (an approximate 27% increase).

•”As a new Food Guide to replace the Food Pyramid is being considered, it appears our nutritional needs are being sold to the highest bidder ... again! “

•”When our version of the Food Guide came back to us revised, we were shocked to find that it was vastly different from the one we had developed. As I later discovered, the wholesale changes made to the guide by the Office of the Secretary of Agriculture...
62
... were calculated to win the acceptance of the food industry. For instance, the Ag Secretary’s office altered wording to emphasize processed foods over fresh and whole foods… it also hugely increased the servings of wheat and other grains to make the wheat growers happy. “
63
•”Where we, the USDA nutritionists, called for a base of 5-9 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables a day, it was replaced with a paltry 2-3 servings.”
64
•”Our recommendation of 3-4 daily servings of whole-grain breads & cereals was changed to a whopping 6-11 servings forming the base of the Food Pyramid as a concession to the processed wheat and corn industries. Moreover, my nutritionist group had placed baked goods made with...
65
...white flour— including crackers, sweets and other low-nutrient foods laden with sugars and fats — at the peak of the pyramid, recommending that they be eaten sparingly. To our alarm, in the “revised” Food Guide, they were now made part of the Pyramid’s base.”
