Heart Attacks And Strokes--- Another Medical Myth
Most cardiologists think pharmaceutically and not nutritionally—to the disastrous detriment of their patients. They also believe almost any and every medical study that comes down the pike. Long ago, saturated fat (meat, dairy, etc.) got a bad rap because it raised cholesterol levels. Since medical studies “proved” that higher cholesterol levels cause heart attacks and strokes (which they don’t), physicians automatically were duped into believing that saturated fats were bad for your heart.
The truth? There is no difference in the risk of cardiovascular disease between people who eat the most saturated fat and those who eat the least! This is proved beyond any doubt by examining 21 studies involving close to half a million people, monitored from 5 years to over 20 years. So eat your meat, have a little real ice cream, and feel good about it. To prevent cardiovascular disease don’t eat the real causes of heart attacks---processed foods that are loaded with sugar and polyunsaturated vegetable oils (corn, canola, and all the other crystal-clear, pure oils on store shelves).
These irritate and inflame your blood vessels and heart. And to be on the safe side, avoid margarines, “healthy” spreads, butter substitutes, and anything that is low-fat, zero-fat, low-cholesterol, zero-cholesterol, and anything recommended by the American Heart Association as heart- healthy. Instead, eat real food--- what a concept!
