Marc Bates announces the release of a groundbreaking YouTube video series that challenges the scientific foundation of calorie counting by revealing how food labels measure energy through combustion rather than human digestion.

The series exposes a shocking truth: calorie measurements on nutrition labels come from bomb calorimeters that literally burn food to measure energy content. This process bears no resemblance to how the human body actually processes nutrients.

"Food is not just fuel, it's information," explains registered dietitian Michelle Hurn, whose clinical observations revealed the failure of calorie-controlled diets in hospital settings. "Two people can eat identical calorie amounts yet experience completely different health outcomes."

The video series demonstrates how human digestion differs fundamentally from combustion. While bomb calorimeters burn food at extreme temperatures, the human body processes nutrients through complex biochemical pathways involving hormones, enzymes, and metabolic responses.

Clinical evidence shows dramatic differences between calorie-matched diets. Hospital diabetic patients consuming 1,800 calories of whole wheat toast and low-fat dairy maintained dangerously high blood sugar levels. In contrast, patients eating equivalent calories from red meat, eggs, and low-carb vegetables experienced normalized glucose levels within weeks.

The series offers practical alternatives to calorie counting, emphasizing food quality over quantity. These include focusing on whole foods, monitoring hunger and satiety signals, and prioritizing metabolic health over mathematical calculations.

"The 'calories in, calories out' model is biochemically ignorant," notes the series. "Your food sends coded information directly to your cells, genes, hormones, and mitochondria."
