Several months ago, I received an email from Iver Mysterud, a reporter for the Norwegian Health Magazine “Helsemagasinet”. This magazine is available in stores as well as online. I was asked to not share openly anything until May 13, 2026, the date of the new print out, so there is no conflict. So here it is, today is the 13th of May and in Norway it is already the 14th, so I can share both the original Norwegian and the English translation. The original 5 articles are on pages 21–30 in the magazine.
Since the agricultural revolution, humans have converted roughly 4.8 billion hectares — nearly 12 billion acres — of land into agriculture, land that once belonged to wild ecosystems and free-roaming animals. About one-third is cropland and two-thirds is pasture/meadow, showing that cultivation and managed food production together displaced enormous wild habitat (see here). About half of the world’s habitable land is used for crop growing (see here).
And while we are told that most of this stolen land is growing crops for the animals, we must keep in mind that these animals lived on the land without the need for cultivating, fertilizing, spraying against weeds and pests, and without water. They were able to feed themselves without our help! The only reason these animals are now on feedlots is because we took their land.
Surely, no one believes that we took the land and worked hard back-breaking work for years on the fields, just to feed the animals that were on that same land without anyone needing to work to feed them?! The idea is ridiculous.
In this post I am sharing a discussion I had with a vegan on LinkedIn. I use only their initial SA for the blog, but if you have LinkedIn membership, you can see this conversation here.
Below you will find SA’s original post “as is” on LinkedIn, I copy-pasted together with the picture, which SA likely created by AI. So the credit for this picture with the animals goes to SA.
The subject of domain names and my studies in various universities came up today in a discussion with my hubby. Suddenly, the image of a long-forgotten paper I wrote and presented to ICANN in Washington DC, popped into my mind. I wrote that paper in 2006 and presented it to an audience—not in person, but over a phone via loudspeaker. The title of the paper had a “rhythm” of sorts, but I didn’t quite remember the title.
While I could not remember the title of the paper, I suddenly had this burning desire to find what I wrote. However, without the title, I was unsuccessful finding my paper online or on my computer. I remembered that the subject was “domain name” but nothing else.
A FB friend shared an article with me: Scientists Discover Cancer Tumors Are “Addicted” to This Common Antioxidant, which cited a research article titled “Catabolism of extracellular glutathione supplies cysteine to support tumours” published in Nature (here) with a second research paper that is mentioned in the summary article, which is titled “Taurine from tumour niche drives glycolysis to promote leukemogenesis”, found here.
What is important to know about these articles is that they explain that taking excessive antioxidants can lead to serious harm by supporting cancer development and growth! While cancer lives on glucose and glutamate, we now understand that it can recruit other elements with specific functions and use them to achieve its goal of getting access to food (glucose, primarily)! This is how:
Here is a product that hit my junk bin on social media, which I found very curious (and quite disgusting) upon further examination. It is now added to my top-of-the-line junk foods list to be avoided!
WiO Tortilla Chips
Take a look at the advertisement: No artificial colors. No added sugars, no erythritol, no preservatives, no artificial colors, and no synthetics.

With the release of new dietary guidelines (check out my deep dive on that here) a new high-protein craze has taken the public by storm—especially the ultra-processed-food (UPF) manufacturers. To be clear, “craze” isn’t necessarily a bad thing—protein is vital for health—but the haste with which people are grabbing anything labeled “high protein” is concerning.
Context is everything. When it comes to your health, the most important question isn’t just how much protein you’re getting, but what on earth are you eating to get that protein?!
If you eat a donut pumped with a high-protein filling, is it a health food? No. It’s still an UPF.

The new DGA (Dietary Guidelines for Americans) was released a few days ago. Everyone is talking about beans these days! People want to eat beans! Why do they, might you ask? Because of the many years of misinformation campaign! And because the new DGA reduced the amount recommended.
I just returned from a wonderful 2-week trip to Africa. I was an invited speaker to present on the topic of migraine in a conference, the World Nutrition Summit 2025, in Cape Town, South Africa. After the conference, my husband and I flew to Zimbabwe and Botswana for an additional week of the most amazing experience. I am sharing some pictures and videos for you to enjoy at the end of this article—here just one, my favorite time with two cheetahs—they are trained, not sedated.
Picture of me with two cheetahs. It was an amazing experience walking and caressing these amazing creatures!
Beauty and the Beast
When we arrived in Zimbabwe, the world changed from a quite familiar civilized world of Cape Town, to something very strange. In a lovely (5*) hotel, which had no TV though had WIFI, in a room without internal walls with a double shower without curtains, we woke in the morning to monkeys jumping on the roof from a couple of trees in front of our balcony (these were 1-story attached “huts”). It was quite surreal. The following day I discovered that on the other side of the electric fence, a stone throw from my glass sliding door, wild animals—elephants, zebras, lions, warthogs, cheetahs, mongooses, ostriches, giraffes, etc.,—could be expected to pop up anywhere, at any time. It was the most amazing and exhilarating experience. It isn’t like we were “in nature” but somehow nature was “in” our room.
As defined by its authors, EAT-Lancet is a “new evidence-based insight on nutrition and human health, within safeand just planetary boundaries”. Once I crossed everything out that it is not true, this is what remains: “Eat-Lancet is a new insight within planetary boundaries”. There is absolutely nothing evidence-based in what they present, nothing focuses on true human health and nutrition, and nothing is safe and just. Let me hammer the Eat-Lancet 2.0 into a heap of dust by discussing some of its main tenets.

Do you eat foods rich in fiber? Why? Chances are, you are eating a fiber-rich diet because you have been told repeatedly it is healthy and essential, and you may have even heard something about the gut-brain connection and that it is very important to keep your gut in good health. But have you ever asked why your gut would need something that is not food? After all, your gut is the center for digestion and nutrient absorption of the foods you eat. Therefore, everything you eat is assumed to be digested and absorbed, yet most fiber is indigestible, and no fiber of any kind has nutrients for your body to absorb.
So why are we told to eat fiber? And is the need for fiber really true?
