Very interesting! Whilst reading through the posts, I had a few ideas pop into my head. I don't know if I can remember them all, but I'm going to try.
One person said something along the lines of it's not like the government hasn't been wrong before.
So true! How many years have we listened to the government tell us we should eat margarine, because it's so much healthier for us? Another example was my grandfather. In 1972, he had a massive coronary that resulted in open-heart surgery. Naturally, he was put on the Pritikin diet, which is super, super low-fat. Now here's an old fellow who smoked pretty much all his life, ate whatever he wanted, was an alcoholic a good part of his adult life (I don't know when he quit drinking--sometime in the early- to mid-60s probably). AND he feared for his life. My grandpa was afraid to die. So naturally he did everything the doctors told him to do. He cut out beef and all saturated fats. He ate margarine, if anything. He'd make a turkey soup by baking the turkey to death in the oven, then taking the turkey and boiling it, putting that in the fridge, skimming off the grease, then re-heating it, refrigerating and skimming again. Then he'd heat it, add rice and veggies. Let me just say it was gross! On top of this, Grandpa never had a problem eating packaged cookies--of course, we all know packaged cookies contain transfats. He never ate a lot of them, but enjoyed a couple occasionally.
Okay--that paragraph's just getting too long! Anyway, seven years later, Grandpa had a massive stroke, which killed him. A few years after that, I remember reading an article that said cutting red meats from the diet was a huge culprit in promoting strokes in people. So, Grandpa's heart attack didn't kill him; his diet did. But then again, it was his time to go I'm sure, and nothing would've prevented that.
We all know the bull we've been fed by our government for years now--it's nothing new. We're nothing more than guinea pigs. They claim to be trying to save people's lives when in reality they aren't. There is enough evidence out there to show the government (not just our country's government, but the clandestine group that basically oversees the world) has decided the world can't sustain its growth rate (and they're right on that count), so they are out to remove a lot of us. What better way to off us than through what we eat? Turn us into a bunch of cancer-ridden, diabetic, heart attack patients! Hey, at least we'll die happy, right? Look at all that wonderful junk food!
Oh my! This is going to be so long, no one will read it!
Another thought that came to mind was that of my sister. Now here was a woman who'd had some health problems her whole life (allergies, etc.). Partly because of the allergies and partly because she likes an excuse for consuming junk, she's a junk food addict. She also suffered from low blood pressure (and yes, I do mean suffered). No doctor even began to figure out what the problem with the blood pressure was.
A few years ago she was diagnosed with diabetes. A very short time after that she had her first heart attack. It was just chalked up to the fact she's diabetic. In the ensuing years, her heart got worse and worse, and she had a few more mild heart attacks. Yet for whatever reason, no tests were ever performed. She was told to go home and take it easy. (She's on disability, government-funded health care--does this sound about right to anyone else?) A few months ago, she was at an appointment a few blocks away from one of the local hospitals. She started to look very ill. Her caseworker noticed before she did, actually, and called an ambulance. I never did get whether she actually had another heart attack or not, but the problem was definitely her heart. She was taken to the hospital for an angiogram. They wanted to decide whether they should do an angioplasty, so of course needed the test results. Well, they shot her up with all the dye, etc., etc., and did their work.
Now this is where it gets interesting, so if no one's been paying attention, read now! LOL The angiogram showed absolutely no blockage in her arteries. What they did find, however, was shocking. One of the arteries leading out of her heart, splits into two, with one of them re-attached to the bottom of her heart. She can't get proper blood flow because half the blood that should be pumping into her body is recirculating right back into her heart! Okay--so here she is, 40+ years old, and they just now discover this!
So listed are a few people following the Atkins Nutritional Approach who suddenly die from a heart problem. Who knows when these problems even occurred? (And as some said, may well have been medication.) If their doctors were anything like my sister's they very well could've been walking time-bombs for years.
Okay, enough rambling!
