Big Load o' Crap (being sold to you and shoved down your throat)

[Guest guest]

Well, , one thing we agree upon is that the Standard

American Diet (SAD) is SAD indeed. Americans are dying like

flies from EVERYTHING. We've fallen to the 29th-37th

(depending on what statistics are used) healthiest country in the

world. The topic of fat is just one of many issues affecting this,

and it is indeed a hugely multi-faceted disease epidemic.

America is enduring a holocaust of cancer, heart disease,

diabetes and chronic disease. The annual 600,000+

cholecystectomies in the US alone is just one grim signpost

along the road to oblivion for our country.

REGARDING FAT INTAKE, as Dave sez, it's more about the types

of fats we eat as well as the the quality of the fat being eaten. It

has virtually nothing to do with excess quantity as you state. The

satiety levels of both natural (not man-made) protein and natural

fat shut off one's ability to over-consume them. Yet, Americans

are saturated with TRANS fats and, thanks to the huge vegetable

oil cartels such as Cargill, we are innundated with nasty

vegetable fats to the extent that our ratio of essential fatty acids,

Omega 6:Omega 3 has reached the shocking ratio of 25:1 in

spite of the fact that traditional cultures are around 1:1 or 2:1.

These outrageous levels of Omega 6 create the inflammatory

prostaglandin cascades which are the root of almost every

inflammatory disease, not the least of which is cholecystiasis.

The argument about fat is far, far too time consuming to debate

in this format but I will wager you that the modern fat-phobic

nutritionists such as Pritikin and Ornish (and now Weil has been

bought) will soon be shown to be the " fad " foodists that they

really are. (See the staggering " Nutrition and Physical

Degeneration " by Weston A. Price)

---If you read truly scientific epidemiologists from the 1930's

such as Price, Pottenger and others you would see why I know

the full fat diet to be the only true path to health and happiness.

Incidentally, I DO lust for fatty foods. It's natural to do so too!

Here's a handful of concepts to ponder....

~~Before 1920 coronary heart disease was rare in America, so

rare that when Dr White introduced the German EKG

machine to his collegues at Harvard they laughed and advised

him to switch to a more profitable form of medicine. He

searched for years for a patient with clogged arteries. Today it

causes 40% of the deaths in America.

~~From 1910-1970 traditional animal fat consumption dropped

from 83% to 62% with butter going from 18# a year to 4#. During

the same period consumption of vegetable oils in the form of

margerine, shortening and refined oils increased 400% and

sugar and processed foods increased by 60%. Americans today

consume an average of 57 teaspoons of sugar a day (2/3 hidden

in food). (See Sally Fallon's " Nourishing Traditions " for a real

eye opening)

~~The Japanese, who have the longest life span of any nation

eat very little dairy fat so some assume it is a low fat diet. Careful

analysis shows their cholesterol intake to be HIGHER than

Americans. This is due to moderate amounts of eggs, pork,

chicken, beef, seafood, shellfish and organ meats. What they

don't eat is much vegetable oil, white flour or processed food

(white rice consumption and junk food intake is now increasing,

of course and the death rates are rising accordingly).

~~The Swiss live almost as long as the Japanese, and tied for

third are Austria and Greece, all of whom live on the fattiest diets

in the world!

~~Ever been to France? They low fat gurus here refer to their

heart attack rate (1/3 that of the US) as the " French Paradox "

because it screws up their faulty studies.

~~The Framingham study (of which I am one of 500,000

subjects) had been widely touted as corroborating evidence for

the hideously flawed Lipid Hypothesis. Then, after 40 years of

study, the director states (direct quote) " The more saturated fat

one ate, the more cholesterol one ate, the more calories one

ate, the lower the person's serum cholesterol...we found that the

people who ate the most cholesterol, ate the most saturated fat,

ate the most calories, weighed the least and were the most

physically active " . (See Al 's " 21 Days to a Healthier

Heart " for a full analysis)

Recent studies that completely debunk Ancel Keys beloved Lipid

Hypothesis of cardiovascular disease have been squelched by

the medical and processed food industry (and their government

lackeys). Keys tracked 22 countries and published results only

from the 7 countries who's dots lined up on a graph. His studies

are crap. (See The Cholesterol Myths, Uffe Ravnskov for the

complete destruction of Keys work).

This list could go on and on for page after page.

It's irrefutable that the American " Diet Dictocrats " have created a

completely BOGUS MYTH about fat consumption. Government

" health " officials trot out a new pyramid every few years (funny

how their " truths " change?!) and university research hacks churn

out boxcar loads of bogus research, all FUNDED by the powerful

grain cartels, the vegetable oil producers and the massive food

processing industry. The medical industry, now turned in to

soulless hacks, survive by preying cannibalistically on the flesh

of their victims, I mean, patients. Me and you! The

pharmaceutical industry is the second largest industry in the

world!

Sadly, the faddist Diet Dictocrats and the Politically Correct

Nutritionists don't even need to sell you on their " cooked book "

research themselve, they have fleets and squadrons of Junior

Leaguer lay people regurgitating their sick, obsolete and dead

wrong advice in self-published books, websites, and, yes, even

discussion groups. People who are STILL perpetuating the Lipid

Hypothesis ---and the Low Fat Diet Model--- have to have their

heads buried in the sand for at least 15 years.

Virtually every single gall bladder patient is a victim of this

horrible nutritional advice. It's time to get back to reality. It's time

to get back to real food, real exercise, real stress levels, and to

work together for a cleaner environment. Throw the bastards out

of office (start with DR " BLIND TRUST " FRIST!)

If you wait for The Government, Corporate America or any other

Big Brother to do it for you, well, have a nice funeral.
