As I said in my previous post, diet is controversial. There are cardiologists advocating meat, but they seem to be in the minority. There is loads of evidence that increasing vegetables and reducing meat is the healthiest way to go. I didn't know about the Crisco and American Heart association link but will look it up. As you are suggesting a vested interest I have to point out there are quite a few cardiologists who advocate for no oil at all such as Caldwell Esselsyn, who reversed heart disease in patients following a strict vegan , no processed food diet, zero oil.Actually the American heart association was founded by vegetable oil company Crisco and its all bullshit.. All heart disease studies based on epidemiologic studies, and cherry picked. Its all just marketing for healthcare profit. Our disease actually stems from carbohydrates and plants..
Fat is the most dense calorie available. You have Water soluble, and Fat soluble nutrients..
Ive been watching a cardiologist who supports high fat, meat based diets, and explaining the science behind it.. Very interesting stuff...
Just think of your veins like a rubber hose. Plant debri, and low fat causes the hose to dryrot and form scar tissue.... While plant debri called lectins leak from the gut into your cardiovascular system.
Also your adrenal gland is attached to your kidney and caffeine directly affects how well you filter toxins, and dramatically agitates your adrenals/heart.
The danger of only following one persons views is that you miss the big picture. There are loads of cardiologists advocating a vegan diet, or advocating reducing meat. I think you can be reasonably healthy by just reducing meat intake rather than cutting it out. I do think that you can be even healthier by cutting it out altogether.
I am on this diet to reduce the risk of prostate and bowel cancer mainly, but also to reduce the risk of heart attack. All my markers and tests have shown reduced risk since starting this diet. See my first post.
About the only thing most experts agree on, is that reducing processed foods is healthy.
Dr. Kim Williams, recent president of the American College of Cardiology, follows and vigorously recommends a vegan diet to both patients and other physicians for optimal health.
Are you following his advice?
Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in the world. It is also the number one cause of death among physicians and cardiologists, so unfortunately they are often not role models in healthy nutrition themselves.
But apart from his advice to not eat processed and refined foods, like cupcakes or sodas, Dr. Williams recommends not eating any animal products whatsoever, including fish, chicken, eggs and dairy.
