John Frederick Ashton FRACI (born 1947) is an Australian food scientist, a young Earth creationist, and an advocate of a chocolate-based diet.
Biography
Ashton has bachelor's and master's degrees in chemistry from the University of Newcastle and the University of Tasmania, respectively; he earned honours and the CSR Chemicals Prize for his bachelor's degree.[1] He also has a Ph.D. in epistemology from the University of Newcastle;[2] his thesis outlined a holistic model for the interpretation of biomedical and environmental data. Ashton was elected a Fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute in 1992,[3][1] has been a Professional Member of the Australian Institute of Food Science and Technology since 1998, and was elevated to Fellow of that institute in 2006.[1]
He has been strategic research manager for the Sanitarium Health and Wellbeing Company in Cooranbong, New South Wales;[4] Adjunct Associate Professor, School of Biomedical and Health Sciences, Victoria University, Melbourne;[5][6] and Adjunct Professor in the School of Applied Sciences in the College of Science, Engineering and Health, RMIT University.[7][8]
Ashton was a principal food research scientist at the University of Newcastle.[9] He has authored 18 university research publications including three books.[10][11] He has co-supervised eleven doctoral students,[1] taught science and philosophy, and held senior research positions in the food industry for over 30 years.[12] He and his wife Colleen live in New South Wales, Australia.[12] He is a member of the Hillview Seventh Day Adventist Church in Morisset, New South Wales.[6]
Food research
Ashton has researched on topics including soy milk, maca, and wheat. He has conducted ARC-funded research with RMIT University on whey protein products[7] and with the University of Wollongong on sorghum products.[13]
Ashton's book A Chocolate a Day, coauthored with his daughter-in-law Suzy Ashton, claims that a single chocolate bar contains more antioxidants than six apples and has a stronger antiaging effect than red wine,[14][9][15] and that two ounces (50 grams) of chocolate per day are sufficient for a high intake of potassium, magnesium, calcium and polyphenols.[16][17][18][19] Low in sodium, chocolate is recommended to counteract imbalanced high-salt diets.[9] Because chocolate is high in phenylethylamine, Ashton also believes chocolate may help people fall in love.[4] His followup book, The Chocolate Diet, coauthored with Dr. Lily Stojanovska, recommends a weight-loss diet including 10-20 grams of chocolate per day.[20] A Chocolate a Day was regarded by Food Australia as the first popular book highlighting the health benefits of chocolate and has been translated into nine languages.[1]
Ashton takes a strong stand against the abuse of alcohol and advocates that drinkers should be required to be licensed and encouraged to practise duty of care. His views were published in the book Uncorked! The Hidden Hazards of Alcohol. He has written several books on general health and a text on food poisoning.[improper synthesis?]
Creationism
![]() | This article may present fringe theories, without giving appropriate weight to the mainstream view and explaining the responses to the fringe theories. (May 2012) |
Ashton is a Young Earth creationist who has stated, "I am convinced that a literal understanding of the Genesis account of creation is the most reasonable explanation out of all the current theories of how we came to be here."[21] He is the editor of In Six Days: Why 50 Scientists Choose to Believe in Creation, an anthology of testimonies of creationist scientists that has been reviewed negatively by skeptics[22] but positively in the journal of the Christian American Scientific Affiliation.[23] Notable contributors include Jack Cuozzo, John D. Morris, Jonathan Sarfati, Andrew Snelling, Kurt Wise,[22] Monty White,[24] Andrew McIntosh,[23] John Baumgardner, Werner Gitt, J. H. John Peet, Ariel A. Roth, and Larry Vardiman.[25] In a followup book, On the Seventh Day, Ashton relates forty scientists' testimonies of belief in a Creator, including conversions from atheism, exploration of questions of Biblical accuracy, dramatic experiences, and claims of miracles.[26][27][28]
Ashton coauthored a book on Egyptian archaeology, as well as editing several books on the evidence for the existence of God.[improper synthesis?] The God Factor, like In Six Days and On the Seventh Day, is one of several collections wherein a number of scientists[29][30][31] describe their belief in God;[32][33][34][35] it is a prescribed resource at Alphacrucis College.[36]
Other views
Ashton collected evidence of people seeing the future and proposed a metaphysical model to explain this. This work was published under the title The Seventh Millennium: The Evidence We Can Know the Future,[37][38] with a foreword by Brian McCusker, emeritus professor of high-energy nuclear physics at the University of Sydney. He states a belief that some dreams, premonitions, visions and ancient prophecies are accurate.[39] Australian skeptic Colin Groves criticized the book as relying on discredited research and creationist views of history.[40]
In the 1990s Ashton coauthored The Perils of Progress with Harvard- and Oxford-educated philosopher Ronald S. Laura (with foreword by Templeton Prize winner Charles Birch), based on their papers on environmental issues. This book discusses electromagnetic fields, radiation poisoning, microwaves, gasoline, sunscreen, food additives, polyunsaturated fats, chlorine, fluoridated water, aluminum, sound pollution, artificial light, and sick building syndrome.[41][42][43] While Publishers Weekly regards it as "thoroughgoing neo-Luddism",[41] it contains copious references and information about several current environmental controversies.[42][43] This was followed by their New Insights in Environmental Education, a text outlining philosophical views on environmental issues, and their popular book Uncorked!.
