What is being revealed from the finest minds in nutrition is unsettling news. What we have been told for the last 50 years by nutrition “guidelines” we all trust, was not correct, and was never founded on science. The truth has been known for years by many who studied the science, and the literature, and raised grass roots questions about our dietary guidelines. But it has taken years for new fresh controlled clinical trials and a new generation of scientists to say we refuse to accept guidelines not based on science, and guidelines that are instead based on observation, opinion, and selective emphasis.
There is a very large outcry among the best nutrition scientists, revealing that the guidelines were not founded on scientific studies. We are due for a large course correction in nutrition, but this time, the science that was always there, will be used instead of ignored. The studies are too big to ignore this time. This time the studies are controlled clinical trials (806, 1216), meta-analysis studies (1169, 1171, 1178, 1172, 1210), and global giant studies (1160-1162) that are calling our current US, European, and global nutrition guidelines into question.
We must prepare our minds to accept the overwhelming results of the studies that validate the basic science of nutrition, that was always there, but the policy makers ignored. This means what you read may not seem possible or true, because many people have been raised with the old guidelines to limit intake of saturated fats from childhood, and the guidelines have been burned into our memories, but this does not make them true or healthy.
We want to relax our minds and be confident we can start eating rich good tasting foods again, while we learn the 7 key nutrition actions that work to prevent heart disease, reduce mortality, and that normalize cholesterol and blood fats (lipids).
We hope the research data and facts about natural fats set you free from the cardboard tasting, low-saturated-fat diets, low-fat diets, and low-cholesterol diets, that have been proven not to work. (805, 806, 681, 1160, 1162, 1178, 1350) The aim of BATON Diet is to help people not feel guilty when they enjoy a meal with fats eaten in moderation. You will also be set free from the high carbohydrate myth that has ruined many athletic careers and fueled metabolic syndrome X, type 2 diabetes, weight gain, and increased mortality. (1160, 1162) Besides these course corrections in nutrition, we also present new research related to the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of how our circadian rhythm clock works. When we eat is as important as what we eat. (2025, 2029, 2030)
It doesn’t matter what we memorized our whole life, what matters is what is true and healthy. Learning the metabolism and science of the body helps us break the gridlock of memorized false information, so we can move on and accept the 7 true principles of nutrition. We term the composite whole of the 7 true principles of nutrition and their application in pleasurable dining the BATON Diet.
While each of the above 3 approaches have been shown to have an effect, the first 2 have been shown to be superior to the statin drugs and have no side effects; they are natural nutrition. Statin cholesterol drugs, however, have at least 16 adverse effects (side effects). We focus on new findings and their concerning consequences. Meanwhile, a recent 2015 meta-analysis of 11 statin drug studies found taking a statin drug postponed death by a mere 3.2 days in primary prevention trials and 4.1 days in secondary prevention trials. (Kristensen ML et al, British Medical Journal 2015.) (1592)
“The PURE study is an impressive undertaking that will contribute to public health for years to come. Initial PURE findings challenge conventional diet…the best medicine for the nutrition field is a healthy dose of humility.” -Drs. Christopher E Ramsden and Anthony F Domenichiello (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD), Lancet 2017 (1163)
“In European and North American countries, the most enduring and consistent diet advice is to restrict saturated fatty acids, by replacing animal fats with vegetable oils and complex carbohydrates (and more recently whole grains)”. Drs. Christopher E Ramsden and Anthony F Domenichiello, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD published in Lancet 2017 (1163) Mahshid Dehghan and the PURE team of physicians and scientists confirm the views of a growing number of researchers that advice to restrict saturated fatty acids “is largely based on selective emphasis on some observational and clinical data, despite the existence of several randomized trials and observational studies that do not support these conclusions.” PURE study, Dehghan M et al, Lancet 2017 (1160)
Our desire is that these facts about natural fats, and the more in-depth discussion of them below in PART I, will free people from the fat phobia of our culture. If we eat a low-fat diet, we are likely eating a high-carb diet. (1160) High carbohydrate intake is detrimental to health. (1160, 1162) High carbohydrate intake thwarts athletic performance and feeds weight gain. Our goal is to set people free from low-saturated-fat diets, low-fat diets, and low-cholesterol diets, that have been proven not to work. (805, 806, 681, 1160. 1162, 1178)
When we eat either supports or disrupts our circadian rhythm. Eating at the wrong time disrupts our rhythm; eating at the right time supports circadian rhythm. Our circadian rhythm is foundational to our health. Equally important, when we eat influences not only our health, but also our risk of accidents and injuries at work, driving, and at home.
Eating to support circadian rhythm via time centered eating is a fresh and exciting approach in nutrition research. After Gill and Panda published their stunning results of the first big study in humans in 2015 (2029), this field has become vast and rich. The literature is growing rapidly. In 2017 there were only 2 to 3 human trials in the literature on time centered eating. Since 2017 the literature of human studies has grown rapidly and we now have over 50 good clinical studies of circadian time centered eating in humans with more being published regularly.
The exciting life altering results of the Gill and Panda study endured over time. After people experienced eating to support their circadian rhythm, they liked it so much they voluntarily chose to continue circadian eating on their own after the study was completed. Follow up one year later found they kept the weight they lost off, they slept better, and. they woke up with more energy. (2029)
Once we step out of our home, we have little or no control over the quality of our food, but we always have control of our time. The beauty of circadian eating is that it is time centered. Eating to support circadian rhythm is free, and easy.
Eating right for your circadian type is now being proposed as part of healthy and safe lifestyle. Worldwide nutrition guidelines should include when to eat.

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.
Excess carbohydrates (and sugars) we eat are converted by the liver to triglycerides (fats) and cholesterol.
People who eat too many carbohydrates (carbs) can develop “fatty livers” because excess carbohydrates are converted to fat (triglycerides TG or fatty acids FA) in the liver. The fatty liver tissue is seen if a liver biopsy is taken. “Fatty liver disease” is usually a reversible condition. Large globules of triglyceride fat accumulate in liver cells. In the late stages, the size of the fat globules increases, pushing the nucleus to the edge of the cell. If the condition persists, large fat globules may come together (coalesce) and produce fatty cysts, which are irreversible lesions that can damage the liver.
