Last week on Oprah, that doctor guy who always wears his scrubs on

T.V., Dr. Oz, was telling people why Americans are fat…again!

Something useful that came out of his reports was his study on

cholesterol. This is a major problem that seems to exist only for

Americans. He took 7 people all different sizes and race, which have

bad cholesterol and put them on a primitive diet. Meaning they were

only allowed to eat raw foods, like vegetables and fruits, uncooked.

They ate 11 lbs. of raw food a day for 7 days. Not only were they

unbelievably “regular” they all cut their cholesterol by 25%, which

is phenomenal for the average American, considering that heart

disease is the number one killer of men and women. Not only did they

drop in cholesterol levels, but in weight as well.
