Rocco Castellano: Many of the research studies out there aren’t necessarily -- what the research studies are real but the quotes from those researches because people now use statistics as part of like a weapon, and I want more people to understand that because just because of the quotes of research study it’s a good idea to go find that research study and actually read it and on the Internet you can literally find abstracts from just about every single study that’s been quoted.
Jayson Hunter: Right, just to give you an example. I started study about --that a certain type of protein and carbohydrate in certain ratio was bad for you, for a woman and so I said, okay so most of them they think they are naturally bad. If you read much of the study it was 70-year-old equivalent female mice who had renal failure and diabetics. But the problem mentioned nothing about that carbohydrate women and carbohydrate and diabetes. If you have diabetes --
Rocco Castellano: The carbohydrates might be bad for you.
Jayson Hunter: You might have to because diabetics have problems with catalyzing carbohydrates, and this is the whole part of the study. And I am like millions of people reading that thing, I am a woman, I can’t eat carbs. Not to mention the woman that read it might have been 22 and not 70 and that the study was done with a 70-year-old mouse.
Rocco Castellano: Right.
Jayson Hunter: So obviously there’s always --
Rocco Castellano: Not a human.
Jayson Hunter: Yeah, and not to say that a lot of research with mice does not correlate to human study, it does, but not every research study does. I mean, you really want to also locate the human studies to see if there is correlation between the two. Oh yeah, and then the big one was the mice had diabetes and like renal failure. So they have two major diseases and one of the diseases is directly affected by the carbohydrate intake. So it’s like -- like you say, it’s good to go, look at the study itself and see does it relate to what this person is talking about. Take it with a grain of salt and do your own research, dig a little deeper, ask more questions to find out is this quote an accurate quote? Or is this information that’s being given to me is accurate.
Rocco Castellano: Well, yeah, I have read quotes from a study one time that talk about how a cup of carbohydrates affected the female reproduction system but they didn’t tell you that it was the female reproduction system of a snake, and you are literally, where is the snake in the whole human --
Jayson Hunter: In the human chain here.
Rocco Castellano: Yeah, I mean we may eat a snake, if you are in the plain desert or something like that, but it has nothing to do with anything in reality and it’s not based in reality.
Jayson Hunter: So yeah, you need to do your homework and pretty much, don’t take things for granted, take a lot of things with a grain of salt, build a trust with where you can get information from first and then you can start to believe --
Rocco Castellano: Like Jayson Hunter and the Carb Rotation Diet, Like what? There you go.
Jayson Hunter: Exactly, but yeah, I mean you need to be able to trust the source that’s giving you that information and you need to be able to ask question. Don’t be afraid to ask questions on things, to whoever providing that information because you want to know the whole story. You want to know does this apply to you and how does it relate to you.
Rocco Castellano: I enjoyed to tell anybody who asks any questions at askrocco.com that you really aren’t stupid when you ask question. Because so many people feel that they are going to sound stupid because they ask a question about something that supposedly they are supposed to know because they were in the help desk in second grade, but your life then ends in second grade, you may have forgotten a few things along the way about diet, nutrition, and fuels.
Well, this is Rocco Castellano with Jayson Hunter and we will talk to you later.
