Nutritional Critique
The Ambiguities of "Balanced Diet"
Why population-average dietary recommendations are insufficient to guarantee physiological integrity at the individual level — magnesium, vitamin D, omega-3, and other examples.
Behind Every Test, an Industry
Why the medical system measures the nutrients it measures. Behind every routinely ordered nutrient test — and behind every routinely fortified nutrient — stands a food industry aligned with that specific molecule. Industries do not invent biological priorities ex nihilo; they select, among genuine ones, those that align with their products, and amplify their cultural, institutional, and diagnostic centrality — while allowing others to remain invisible.
The Limits of "Healthy Eating"
Why the nutritional value of a food is never absolute — it depends on the individual's physiological context. Spinach, dairy, nuts: examples of foods that are beneficial for some and harmful for others.
Why There Is No Universally Good Food
Individual biological variability, nutrient-pathology interactions, and the importance of ratios such as omega-6/omega-3 and calcium/magnesium — why no food is intrinsically good or bad.
Practical Illustrations
Concrete examples illustrating the limits of general nutritional recommendations against individual physiological needs — deficiencies despite balanced diets, superfoods, and mismatched profiles.
The Hunger We Don't See
A taxonomy of diagnostic failure. Why the medical system misses widespread nutritional depletion — starting with the tests that are never ordered, and continuing with those that measure the wrong compartment, ask the wrong question, are distorted by confounders, or are interpreted against reference ranges built from an already-deficient population.
