He pōʻino ke olakino ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo. I ka waena o ʻAukake, ua ʻae ʻia ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i nā maʻi maʻi ola i nā huahana ʻiʻo. Ua kapa ʻia ʻo Intralytix ʻo ka hui ʻo Baltimore, nona nā maʻi viral ʻokoʻa ʻeono i hoʻolālā ʻia e pepehi i ka listeriosis. ʻAʻole koi ʻia nā hui ʻiʻo e hōʻike i nā mea kūʻai aku i nā meaʻai i hana ʻia a ʻaʻole i hana ʻia. He mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua aʻo mākou ʻo ka momona i loaʻa i ka ʻiʻo e hoʻonui i ka nui o ka cholesterol i ke koko o nā mea kūʻai. A ke alakaʻi nei i ka puʻuwai puʻuwai. No laila, ua ʻōlelo mai nā kauka iā mākou e hōʻemi i ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo a hoʻonui i ka ʻai me nā mea kanu. I ka manawa like, ua puka mai ka manaʻo o "carcinogens". ʻO ka ʻiʻo i kālua ʻia ka maʻi kanesa. Hoʻokumu ʻia nā mea kemika i kapa ʻia he heterocyclic amines ma ka ʻili o ka ʻiʻo, i loko o ka ʻōpala crispy. Mahalo i kēia ʻōpala e piʻi aʻe ai ka maʻi kanesa i ka poʻe ʻai ʻai. ʻO ka moa, e like me ka mea i ʻike ʻia, hoʻopuka ʻoi aku ka nui o nā carcinogens ma mua o ka pipi. Pehea inā ʻoe e hoʻolapalapa i ka moa? Ua hōʻike ʻia nā haʻawina he nui ka mercury, nā metala kaumaha ʻē aʻe, a me nā pesticides like ʻole i loko o nā ʻiʻo holoholona. Hoʻomanaʻo au i ka hoʻolaha ʻia ʻana o ka iʻa he moeʻuhane pōʻino loa: ua hoʻopuka nā ʻoihana mokuʻāina a me ke aupuni pekelala i nā ʻōlelo aʻo koʻikoʻi, ʻoi aku ka pilikia o ka iʻa no nā keiki a me nā wahine o ka makahiki hānau. A laila hoʻomaka lākou e kamaʻilio e pili ana i nā microbes i loko o ka ʻiʻo. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo Salmonella a me Campylobacter ke kuleana no nā kaukani maʻi i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Ua hōʻea ka hoʻoweliweli bacteria i kahi pae hou i ka wā i alakaʻi ai ʻo E. coli i kahi kaula o ka make ma waena o nā mea ʻai hamburger. ʻO kēia a me nā mea hoʻoweliweli ʻē aʻe e pā mau i ka pipi, ka moa a me ka iʻa. A ke hoʻolilo nei nā keʻena aupuni i nā miliona miliona e hoʻāʻo nei e hoʻopaʻa i ka nui o ka pilikia. ʻOi aku - ʻoi aku ka ʻino. Ua puka mai ka maʻi pipi pupule ma ʻEulopa a ua ʻike pinepine ʻia i nā pipi ʻAmelika ʻĀkau. ʻAʻole ia i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka momona, carcinogens, a i ʻole microbes, akā na kahi ʻano protein kūikawā i kapa ʻia he prion. Ke hoʻolilo nei nā luna mokuʻāina a me nā ʻoihana i nā miliona no ka hoʻāʻo ʻana, a ke aʻo nei nā neurologists i ka pilina ma waena o ka maʻi pipi pupule a me nā ʻano ʻano dementia. I kēia manawa, ʻike paha nā ʻepekema ʻaʻole hiki i ka asparagus a me ka eggplant ke kumu o ka rabies a me ka pupule. ʻAʻole loaʻa ka maʻi maʻi ʻavocados, a ʻaʻole nō hoʻi ka maʻi maʻi strawberry. Akā ua puka mai ka maʻi manu ma ke ʻano he maʻi maʻi. Pilikia nā manu i nā maʻi maʻi, e like me nā holoholona ʻē aʻe. ʻAʻole pilikia lākou i nā kānaka. Akā, makemake nui ko mākou kaiaulu i nā manu-ʻai nā ʻAmelika i kēia manawa ma luna o hoʻokahi miliona moa i kēlā me kēia hola-a ʻo ia hoʻi ka nui o nā moa, nā turkey, a me nā manu ʻē aʻe i hānai ʻia no ka ʻiʻo. I ka wā e noho ai ka ma'i H5N1 i loko o kahi pā'ai moa, laha koke ia.
A i kēia manawa, no ka pepehi ʻana i kekahi o nā microbes i loaʻa mai ka ʻōpū o ka holoholona a me ka honua i kahi ʻāpana ʻiʻo i loaʻa nā momona momona a me ka cholesterol, ua noʻonoʻo ka poʻe e pīpī i ka ʻiʻo me nā maʻi. ʻO ka manawa e ala ai a honi i ka pilikia. He ʻiʻo ʻole nā miliona o ʻAmelika i kēia manawa. I ka wā i hana ai lākou, ua hāʻule ko lākou pae cholesterol. Ua wehe hou ʻia ko lākou aʻa coronary. Hoʻemi ʻia ko lākou kaumaha, a hoʻemi ʻia ko lākou manawa e loaʻa ai i ka maʻi kanesa e 40 pakeneka. Hiki i nā meaʻai meaʻai olakino ke hoʻōla i ke olakino o ka lāhui. ʻO Neil D. Barnard, MD, mea noiʻi meaʻai a me ka pelekikena o ke Kōmike Kauka no ka Lapaʻau Kuleana.
