Saturated Fats, Really? Again?

I don’t know how many times we’re going to have to revisit the issue of diet and heart disease. I guess for as long as the medical establishment keeps promoting bad information despite countless studies from their own members telling them that they’re wrong. Unfortunately, correcting errors in the medical community, once they’re established, is glacially slow–often taking decades. There’s nothing so stubborn as a bad idea once it’s gained traction.

Cholesterol Comes Down, Heart Deaths Go Up!

Specifically, the study noted that corn and safflower oil, which are rich in omega-6 linoleic acid but contain almost no omega-3 a-linolenic acid, are not associated with beneficial effects on heart health. As part of their study, the authors reanalyzed a 2013 study that found that a “group [that] replaced saturated fat with sources of safflower oil or safflower oil margarine (rich in omega-6 linoleic acid but low in omega-3 a-linoleic acid)…had serum cholesterol levels that were significantly decreased (by about 8%-13%) relative to baseline and the control group, which is consistent with the health claim.” However, the rates of death from all causes of cardiovascular disease and coronary artery disease significantly increased in the treatment group.

A Quote From Wilferd Peterson

Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it. ― Wilferd Peterson

(If you are feeling down, chances are you are not applying this. Chances are you are letting the naysayers make nothing of you, your products and your efforts. If you ignore and avoid those who invalidate who you are, what you do and what you produce, not only will you regain your power, you reduce theirs. Then everyone benefits Avoid toxic people, toxic food, environmental toxins and build a better you!)

Quote from Richard Attenborough

There is a LIGHT in this world. A healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter. We sometime lose sight of this force when there is suffering, and too much pain. Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways. Richard Attenborough

(A man who, probably more than anyone else, has focused our eyes on the beauty and wonder which surrounds us.)
