<p>"Antioxidants are there to protect the plant from its own sugar. They're not there for you!" </p> <p>It's something like that, but I can't find the exact quote or source at the moment.</p> <p>Edit: Found the original quote:</p> <blockquote> <p>You just have to ask yourself why a plant should manufacture an antioxidant in the first place. You can bet your bottom dollar that it was not for the benefit of herbivores! </p> </blockquote> <p>Credit goes to Petro Dobromylskyj at the <a href="http://high-fat-nutrition.blogspot.com/2007/12/fruit-and-vegetables-re-post.html" rel="nofollow">Hyperlipid blog</a>.</p>

<p>"If we are what we eat, and we <em>don't know</em> what we are eating, then do we still know who we are?" -- Claude Fischler</p>

<p>We dye our hair. We lather up our skin with chemicals, and spray more chemicals into our armpits and onto our hair. We use more chemicals to clean our homes and to sweeten the air. And when our bodies give out, we blame our genetics rather than consider the possibility that our lifestyle could be at fault. When we seek out treatment, will we choose the fix that requires a complete overhaul of the lifestyle we have chosen? No. Not a chance.  We choose the treatment that aligns with our values. We choose to be the victim. We choose to place our lives in the hands of our doctors. We choose what is easy, even when our lives are literally at stake. </p> <p>Allene Edwards</p>

<p>I have to paraphrase again as I don't have the exact quote, but it's by Gary Taubes in Good Calories, Bad Calories:</p> <p>"When there is abundant food in nature, the animals don't become obese; they reproduce more." </p> <p>Since we should expect likewise for humans, if people are obese, it doesn't mean that they ate too much. It means that they're eating the wrong types of food.</p>

<p>As Gary Taubes pointed out, blaming obesity on eating too much is a bit like saying the cause of alcoholism is drinking too much.</p>

<p>Everything in excess is opposed to nature.</p> <p>If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.</p> <p>It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has. </p> <p>Science is the father of knowledge, but opinion breeds ignorance. </p> <p>There are in fact two things, science and opinion; the former begets knowledge, the later ignorance. </p> <p>Walking is man's best medicine. </p> <p>Wherever the art of medicine is loved, there is also a love of humanity. </p> <p>All quotes of Hippocrates.</p>
