What will future generations say about surviving?
 

Remember heart bypass operations and stints as a treatment for coronary artery disease, when all that was needed was a few dietary changes?

Cancer?

Diabetes?

Arthritis?

The aches and pains of old age?

Knee replacement?

Dementia?

Your leading sentence is significantly in error. Dietary changes, for many people, will not cure/prevent heart disease. Please provide the scientific basis for this comment.

When you say "heart disease" are you referring to coronary artery disease?

And when you say "many people" does that mean you also believe that many people can be cured?

Can You Reverse Heart Disease?

Scroll down to where it says, "Yes, You Can!"

I'm not sure a healthy diet works for dementia.

If you can't respond to my question then don't bother with a response At all please.

Oh my, here we go again. :ohdear: Just sayin'.

No, You Can't
 

This is a direct quote from the article you sited above:

"I wouldn’t say you can ‘reverse’ heart disease, because that implies you had something and now you don’t," she says. "You can’t cure heart disease, but you can slow its progression.”

Thanks for an objective perspective.

I read this book (Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease) and found it informative. The author provides links to his own and other medical studies demonstrating that diet can prevent and reverse heart disease in even the most severely heart diseased patients. I'm sure you can google the links to these studies without reading the book. (I don't have them handy or I'd have included them.)

Thanks. I'll take a look.

This is beginning to make sense to me. When I have my third Bloody Mary of the morning, I am going to skip the bacon....

I read that book by Carl Esselstyn and another by his associate, Dean Ornish. I've also read several books by other cardiologists who prescribe almost the exact opposite diet. They also show numerous studies that support their claim that sugar is the cause of most heart problems and that starchy carbs turn into sugar very quickly. So who's to know what is right.

The problem with any of these diets is that they are very difficult to stick to. Dean Ornish has actually admitted that. Esselstyn is still says that it is easy to follow his program. personally, I don't agree. I tried it and it takes a lot of willpower and a lot of work to find foods that are OK to eat and to prepare them. People who are advocates of that diet will say that that's not true and they find it easy. So I guess some of us may find it difficult and some may not.

It's funny that the medical establishment still talks about low fat, low protein diets but whenever I visit my doctor and my triglyceride levels are high, the first thing he asks is, "Have you been eating a lot of candy or drinking soda?".
So they evidently know what is causing the problem but they really can't go against the AMA and the ridiculous food pyramid.

I'll have 2 please ! :loco:

That's a fine looking piece of fried something on the top of that low ball glass.

A reflection.
 

What will future generations say about surviving.

Whew, that was close. Those potato chips almost did me in.

Wow, glad to be here, having a turkey sandwich could have been my last act but my insurance is paid up.

I am so sad I survived to see all of us being governed by Isis. Now I wish I had drunk more booze and had more sex.

I survived eating fourteen taco's to perish by being hit by a golf cart in The Villages Florida being driven at an illegal 16 mph.

I survived and I am so glad I did. I ate only lettuce, turnip and pea.

But look what happened to Fred. Dead.

sigh.

Poor Fred

Freddie's Dead?

Aw.... may he rest in peace !

Heart trouble ahead?
 

Cleveland Clinic researchers found a link between trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) and cardiovascular disease.

TMAO is produced when you digest choline (found in red meat, eggs and dairy) Those with the highest levels of TMAO had double the risk of death from heart attack and stroke compared to others with the lowest levels.

The link between iron (in red meat) and heart disease:

This is a correction: The link I gave was for a study pertaining only to red meat. The recent article in the AARP Bulletin dated May, 2015, includes eggs and dairy products. At the end it states, "The Cleveland Clinic expects TMAO tests to be commercially available this year." This test supposedly will lead to "personalized nutrition information". Notice this has nothing to do with lowering the one's risk for cancer. They are only looking at heart disease. That's what Dr. Colin Campbell calls "reductionism". When you only look at one thing at a time, it's likely you may get conflicting diet information

Keep moving! First wave your left hand and then your right hand, like this---->:wave:

A healthy diet started in midlife can be very helpful: (90% lower risk) Physical activity in midlife is very helpful too.

I expect to see him knocking at my door, brandishing a copy of the FoodTower, on a mission of conversion.:crap2:

Oh boy! I sure hope not. I'm a push over for dietary conversions.
