Who eats healthy, dies earlier? Ten nutritional theses
Thesis 1
Women on diet avoid, as do non-swimmers the deep pelvis: chocolate. Epitome of edible sin. The Dichmacher reputation clings to her like a layer of marzipan on a cake.
And what does Udo Pollmer say about it: "Does chocolate make you fat?" There is no proof to this day. "
Thesis 2
Salad is considered a healthy and reliable companion on the way to the dream figure. But instead of chewing green leaves, women could chew toilet paper like that, Pollmer thinks, "How nutritious is lettuce, like a wet tissue." Salad's composition is nothing but water with some cellulose, green with chlorophyll are also minerals included: especially nitrate from artificial fertilizers. "
Thesis 3
They are often called in the same breath with words like "greasy" and "unhealthy": fries. According to Udo Pollmer, completely wrongly:
"The fries in the most famous fast food restaurant contain about 16 percent no more fat than a butter."
Thesis 4
An apple on a day keeps the doctor away. What the Anglo-Saxon so well-sounding and convincing propagated, Udo Pollmer question:
"Many a body can not stand the natural apple wax, which protects the fruit from drying out, and its liver is overwhelmed." In all seriousness, unintentional consumption of apples has caused deaths, and the cause of death, if you bother, to autopsy the dead - paraffin livers. "
Thesis 5
Omega-3 fatty acids are true heroes of the diet: they are designed to protect the heart and blood vessels, reduce the risk of cancer and Alzheimer's and relieve rheumatic complaints. On the other hand, if you believe Udo Pollmer, you are completely overrated:
"The omega-3 fatty acids in sea fish do not protect against cancer or heart attack, and fat has no beneficial effect on mortality."
Thesis 6
Drinking is healthy and you can not really drink enough. That is also true, according to Udo Pollmer, not so.
"The advice to drink as much as possible is not only nonsensical but potentially dangerous as well, yes, you can even die from it."
Thesis 7
Are you looking for a balanced vitamin C balance? Orcing out oranges, chewing peppers and grabbing vitamin pills? Everything superfluous, says Udo Pollmer. A dish of meat salad does it? S too.
"The highest levels of vitamin C are found in sausages and ham, and they often surpass even the much-loved citrus fruits, simply because vitamin C is added to the sausage factory to speed redness and prolong shelf life Your needs better than with lettuce. "
Thesis 8
It hides in chips, French fries and roast coffee: acrylamide. For a while, it made headlines as a carcinogen. Udo Pollmer gives the all clear:
"Numerous studies have looked at the question of whether acrylamide promotes cancer in humans, without exception, the result is a misnomer, because, first, acrylamide is not converted into a cancer-promoting compound in humans, and secondly, many other substances are produced during roasting the dark-colored ones are especially cancer-protective. "
Thesis 9
He is the measure of all body-conscious: Who wants to know whether he is underweight or overweight, calculates his BMI. All nonsense, says Udo Pollmer:
"The BMI has almost nothing to do with the fat content of the body: the longer the thighs, the lower the BMI The broader the shoulders, the higher the BMI Women with large breasts have a higher BMI than flat-chested ones The BMI is so popular in the commercial diet scene, because countless healthy contemporaries can be classified as 'overweight' and then to pull the money out of their pockets. "
Thesis 10
Nutritionists make every effort to give good tips for losing weight. All in vain, says Udo Pollmer.
"Everybody is different and that's why there is not a healthy diet for everyone."
