Simplicity Through Modern Biology
Step 1 of 6
Warm-Up
It’s all good if you don’t know the answers. You will get another shot at this quiz later in the lesson.
Q1
Today, eating manufactured products is treated like smoking cigarettes was a few generations ago.
True
Correct! You are about to learn exactly why.
False
Try again and don’t worry…today’s lesson will clear this up.
Q2
If a calorie is a calorie and the type of food we eat is irrelevant, then oxygen is oxygen and the type of air we breathe is irrelevant.
True
Correct! You are about to learn exactly why.
False
Try again and don’t worry…today’s lesson will clear this up.
Q3
It is healthy for a smoker to “breathe less.”
True
Try again and don’t worry…today’s lesson will clear this up.
False
Correct! You are about to learn exactly why.

Addictive and Deadly Products are “Healthy” in Moderation & Addictive and Deadly Products are Not Part of a “Balanced” Diet
Listen
Note 1
Could you imagine how hard it would be to avoid lung cancer if we were told smoking was harmless and society behaved accordingly?
Note 2
Why do we think telling someone “just smoke in moderation” is silly?
Note 3
Why aren’t cigarettes part of a “balanced” breakfast?
Step 3 of 6
SANE
Eating Edible Products in Moderation is Like Smoking in Moderation & A SANE Approach to Making Healthy Simple Again
Listen
Note 1
Two simple steps: (1) Identify the cause of disease. (2) Make it as easy as possible to avoid that cause. This is why you are eating more SANE foods…so you will easily avoid inSANE foods (the cause of obesity and diabetes).
Note 2
Beware of “balance” bull. Who is defining what “balanced” looks like?
Note 3
Like nobody is saying “breathe less,” but rather, “Don’t breathe the cigarette smoke. It causes lung cancer.” “Experts” should not say “eat less,” but rather, “Don’t eat inSANE ‘foods.’ They cause obesity and diabetes.”

Quiz
Remember these? Give them one more try now that you’ve spent a few minutes going SANE.
Q1
Today, eating manufactured products is treated like smoking cigarettes was a few generations ago.
True
Correct! A few generations ago, “experts” told us smoking was not only harmless, but could be part of a “healthy” lifestyle when done in moderation. Today, we know starch-, sugar-, and trans-fat-based edible products—in any quantity—can be as addictive and deadly as smoking.
False
Try again.
Q2
If a calorie is a calorie and the type of food we eat is irrelevant, then oxygen is oxygen and the type of air we breathe is irrelevant.
True
Correct! Polluted air is deadly despite the fact that it contains no calories. Similarly, starch-, sugar-, and trans-fat-based edible products are deadly independent of the calories in them. You need calories to live just like you need air. How well you live is determined by the quality of what you eat and inhale, not the quantity of calories you eat.
False
Try again.
Q3
It is healthy for a smoker to “breathe less.”
True
Try again.
False
Correct! Someone who smokes isn’t struggling because they are breathing a lot of air. It’s the quality of what they’re putting in their body that’s making them suffer. Likewise, someone who is obese or diabetic isn’t struggling because they are eating a lot of food. It’s the quality of what they’re putting in their body that’s making them suffer.
Step 5 of 6
Support
The number of people keeping you accountable is your #1 predictor of long-term success.
Sharing your SANEity enables you to enjoy instant accountability and support from your social networks. The science is 100% clear: The more you share your SANEity, the more success you will enjoy.
