The errors and fallacies of the Gabriel Method (1): Organic foods have more nutrients

Nope, does not work. The Gabriel Method does not work for weight loss, despite initially favorable. It was too cushy, eat what you want, all rich, not burden you ... And though I follow not do you any harm, unlike other methods and diets, some months have been enough to ensure that at least with me it does not work and to discover after researching and reading a bit, which is based on erroneous assumptions, fallacies and inconsistent theories. He had planned to write an article compiling all this, but so many things, which I will publish chapters. I begin:

Jon Gabriel says that one of the reasons why fat is obese because they eat more to compensate for the lack of nutrients that have current food Achaca this circumstance to intensive agriculture and livestock practices and recommends, as a solution, eating organic food, since according to him, provide the nutrients needed to reduce our appetite and cravings.

And what does the science say? For the initial premise is false. If you read in detail the study Nutritional quality of organic foods: a systematic review, which analyzes the results of related articles and studies for 50 years (from 1958-2008), we see that the nutritional difference between organic food and is not too normal significant. Rather like. Although there are other studies that give some advantage to green, small differences do not justify the recommendations of Gabriel.

Then comes the second derivative, which is also unsound: Eat more nutrients suppresses appetite and helps you lose weight? Well, no one has yet demonstrated. Things to think that no study on this and it would be very easy to do.

Some scientists, such as J. M. Mulet, author of "Natural products rip off!" Even think that organic products are overpriced, more hygienically unsafe, bring little added value and move too lax legislation and unspecific. For my part, I do not dislike organic food, but I feel a little strange when I buy in shops surrounded by miraculous herbal products pseudoscientific and mystical items. But it is true that they are expensive, and the benefit is minimal, is something to think ...

So one of the pillars of the Gabriel method seems very solid, if not false: Organic food not decrease your appetite will not bring too many nutritional benefits. I will continue soon with the rest.
