The Steak, Tomatoes, and Bourbon Diet

By Brad Lemley Posted August 7, 2015

My uncle Gordon, an eastern Oregon rancher who died in January at age 89 after a rip-roaring life, always told me that the foundation of a healthful diet was the “three basic food groups: steak, tomatoes, and bourbon.” While I wouldn’t endorse this as a complete diet (and he did branch out -- the man loved all vegetables), the fact is that Gordon remained sharp, slender, and energetic until the end.

Exposing Congress’ GMO Secret

By Brad Lemley Posted July 31, 2015

The bill: Blocks states from labeling foods that contain genetically modified organisms, or GMOs Allows food companies to describe products that contain GMO ingredients as “natural” Guarantees that the FDA will never conduct independent, pre-market safety testing on GMO food.

A Nugget of Icelandic Wisdom

By Brad Lemley Posted July 24, 2015

Whether the subject is finance, politics… or nutrition, Iceland’s frigid climate seems to yield hardheaded people with abundant common sense. That enviable perspective is on display in this short comment by Kris Gunnars. He perfectly illustrates what’s wrong with most of the mainstream nutrition information we’ve heard for the last few generations, particularly surrounding heart disease and obesity.

The Only Kind of Egg You Should Eat

By Brad Lemley Posted July 17, 2015

Every time I cruise my natural food store, I’m struck by an odd pair of words printed on some of the egg cartons. The birds that laid these eggs, the copy proclaims, were “vegetarian fed.” Pardonne-moi?

Hydrogen-Rich Water... Miracle or Hype?

By Brad Lemley Posted August 2015

More than any other substance, we are water. Our bodies consist of about 60 percent water. For some tissues, the proportion is much higher. Our brains are 75 percent water. Our blood, 92 percent. Given these facts, it’s vital to drink water that’s optimized — in other words, that’s as close as possible to the natural, spring-fed water with which human beings evolved. This means that at the very least, it should be free of contaminants. But according to Underground Health Researcher Nate Rifkin, purity is just the start. So what kind of water really is best to drink? Read on…

The Weird Stuff Healthy People Eat

By Brad Lemley Posted July 10, 2015

A young friend recently told me that he had never eaten liver, but had “smelled it cooking once -- I thought I would hurl.” And a quick Internet survey reveals that Americans describe natto as smelling like “sweaty feet” or “burning inner tubes,” with a taste that evokes “death itself.” So I realize these eating habits make us unusual. But -- and this is a vital point -- one reason we selected these foods is because they are nutrient dense.

An Odd, Essential Reason to Go Camping

By Brad Lemley Posted June 26, 2015

I write to you from the bottom of Palo Duro Canyon, 10 miles southeast of the Texas panhandle town of Amarillo. I’m in a folding “camp chair.” My MacBook Pro balances on my bare knees. All around rise the 800-foot crimson cliffs of this immense rift, second in size only to the Grand Canyon. My wife Laurie and I are camping. Primitive camping.

The Weight Loss Myth: Why You’re Most Certainly Doing It All Wrong

By Brad Lemley Posted June 19, 2015

The conventional wisdom (now there’s an oxymoron) is that the best way to lose weight is to “eat less and exercise more.” Note the symmetry. Both tactics in this common phrase (and it is common -- this precise string of words brings up 93,000 Google hits) get equal billing. Except… it’s not true.

The Real Secret of Successful Sleep

By Brad Lemley Posted July 2015

I’ve read many — likely too many — scholarly papers and popular articles about “optimizing” sleep, “maximizing” sleep, and wringing “efficiency” out of limited sleep hours. It’s the key, these articles contend, to a happy, productive, turbocharged waking life. But consider: How well would this imperative work in a relationship between two people? Do you believe your spouse’s sole purpose should be to optimize, maximize or otherwise turbocharge you?
