Last week I had the pleasure of seeing Dr Peter Dingle speak about

this coming weekend (November 12-13) in Mandurah. Let’s start with a few shocking facts: • 50% of all men over 50 in this country WILL have a heart attack or some form of heart disease; • 12,000 people die in Australia every year from the correct dose of prescribed medication! • Processing food can double the calories; • Elevated cholesterol isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but the side effects of cholesterol medication can be very serious (see Peters book on the

Pasta 3. Pane (or bread!) 4. Processed Breakfast Food 5. Processed Oil 6. Pasteurized Milk Some food for thought!....If you want to find out more about healthier options, then have a look at our
