Prepare for 7 Shocks… Aftershocks...
Durable results
Unlike fad diet books, the enjoyable and surprising principles in BATON Diet have been found to bring durable long lasting and even lifelong results. All nutrition principles are fully referenced and backed by recent strong medical literature.
Even better, people liked the principles so much that follow-up found they voluntarily continued eating according to the principles years later. (1415, 2029)
Current nutrition guidelines have misguided us for 50 years about what to eat, and worse yet, omitted when to eat. All this despite an avalanche of medical literature challenging worldwide nutrition guidelines. Seven new principles of nutrition will be presented in easy to understand laymen’s terms. Finally, nutrition based on science will make sense and not be a fad moving target based on observation or “expert opinions”.
Besides affecting our health, when we eat affects safety and injury incidence in the workplace, on the road, and at home extending the influence of food intake beyond the individual to the group corporate level. A multibillion dollar business has already sprung up around optimizing lighting to support circadian rhythm, but when we eat has just as profound influences on circadian rhythm and safety. The stakes are large for individuals and groups willing to participate.
BATON Diet is presented in 3 parts.
PURE Rocks the Nutrition Field: Finds Higher Fat Intake Beneficial.
The large international PURE (Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology) study has shown definitively that much of the conventional wisdom surrounding dietary fat intake and cholesterol is wrong. In fact, contrary to popular belief, the large international PURE study found higher fat intake--including saturated fats--reduced risk of death. The lower risk of mortality was seen for all the major types of fat found in whole foods. The individual types of fat from whole foods were not linked to higher risk of heart attacks or death from cardiovascular disease. Higher fat intake reduced mortality. On the other hand, high carbohydrate intake was associated with higher risk of death. “Global dietary guidelines should be reconsidered in light of these findings.” PURE study, Dehghan M et al, Lancet 2017 (1160)
The PURE results and others challenge US and Global Dietary Guidelines.
PURE is not alone in calling for adjustment in dietary guidelines.
“Recent high profile medical opinion writings, powered by systematic reviews of randomized trials (1171, 1172) and prospective cohort studies, (1171, 1169) have called for a re-evaluation of dietary guidelines for intake of saturated fat and a re-appraisal of the effects of saturated fat on health. At the same time, public health efforts to remove industrial trans fats from the food supply in several countries have intensified.” Meta-analysis, de Souza, Russell J BMJ 2015 (British Medical Journal) (1178)
Large randomized controlled trials (1171, 1172) and meta-analysis of observational studies from North America and Europe in the last few decades agree with PURE. (1169, 1178, 1209)
We need to prepare to accept 7 shocks—7 shocking new principles of nutrition backed by strong peer reviewed medical research.

Buy a bottle of olive oil, enjoy 100% grass fed meats and grass fed butter, eat some fish, to be on your way to controlling cholesterol and heart disease.
“The people who ate the most fat, and the highest cholesterol diets, weighed the least of any group...”
William Castelli 1992 director of the famed Framingham Study (2151)
A Low-Fat Diet is a High-Carb Diet
Almost twice as much food was eaten at the next meal if the person had a high-carb low-fat meal at the previous meal. (807) Dr. David Ludwig, Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard, and Children’s Hospital in Boston.
