Eating saturated fat does not cause heart disease - Health Supreme NewsGrabs Tuesday, 19 January 2010

New study puts “saturated fat causes heart disease” meme to rest

The recent review I’m talking about is a meta-analysis published this week in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. It pooled together data from 21 unique studies that included almost 350,000 people, about 11,000 of whom developed cardiovascular disease (CVD), tracked for an average of 14 years, and concluded that there is no relationship between the intake of saturated fat and the incidence of heart disease or stroke.

Let me put that in layman’s terms for you:

Eating saturated fat doesn’t cause heart disease.


Germs That Are Good For You
Most adults are overweight, as are 15% of grade school children. We all know the culprits: too little exercise, too many videogames and too many calories.

But what if there’s more to it than that?

Maybe the culprit is bacteria–or, rather, the lack of the right kind of bacteria. That’s the radical theory of Martin Blaser, chairman of the department of medicine at New York University Medical School and former president of the Infectious Disease Society of America. Blaser suspects that chronic antibiotic overuse could be making kids fatter by killing off healthy gut bacteria necessary for efficient digestion.


World Health Global Innovation Commons and Social Networking Platform
The World Health section of the Global Innovation Commons is dedicated to the fields of disease prevention and public health. The list is comprised of the most neglected diseases that are prevalent in the most marginalized populations. Some of these diseases are known to have preventative measures or acute treatments that are not accessible in the areas which need it the most. Due to the nature of this section of the Global Innovation Commons, we would like to extend a message of honor to those who have died from, lost someone to, suffered from, or will contract these diseases. Without their sacrifice, the research for the treatment and prevention of these devastating diseases would not have been possible. Our goal is to create a massive global awareness about these diseases, thereby significantly reducing their effect and creating a more productive and engaged world for the future.


Codex Alimentarius - Dare you ignore it?
Behind the Codex Alimentarius Commission is the United Nations and the World Health Organization working in conjunction with the multinational pharmaceutical cartel and international banks. Its initial efforts in the US with the FDA were defeated, so it found another ally in the FTC. Now Codex, with the FTC and the pharmaceutical cartel behind it, it threatens to become a trade issue, using the campaign of Operation Cure-All to advance its goals.


World Health Organization Proposes Tax on Banking, Internet Activity
Such a scheme could raise "tens of billions of dollars" on behalf of the United Nations' public health arm from a broad base of consumers, which would then be used to transfer drug-making research, development and manufacturing capabilities, among other things, to the developing world.

The multibillion-dollar "indirect consumer tax" is only one of a "suite of proposals" for financing the rapid transformation of the global medical industry that will go before WHO's 34-member supervisory Executive Board at its biannual meeting in Geneva.

Individual countries have trouble paying for all the expenses of our overblown and ineffective pharma-centric western medicine health system. So now the WHO wants to tax all of us directly to perpetuate that dying dinosaur. There must be a better way ... perhaps some reforms??


America Must Reform Its Food Industry or Go Broke With Health Care Costs: Michael Pollan
"Even the most efficient health care system that the administration could hope to devise would still confront a rising tide of chronic disease linked to diet," Pollan wrote recently in The New York Times.

"Passing a health care reform bill, no matter how ambitious, is only the first step in solving our health care crisis," Pollan says. "To keep from bankrupting ourselves, we will then have to get to work on improving our health -- which means going to work on the American way of eating."


GM Crops Increase Herbicide Use in the United States
The rapid rise in herbicide tolerant crops is increasing the application of toxic herbicides to alarming levels in the US, according to a comprehensive report by the Organic Food Center, USA. Research based on statistics from the US Department of Agriculture revealed that from 1996 to 2008 pesticide use increased by 318 million pounds...


US National Library of Medicine Censors Nutritional Research
Did you know that there are "good" medical journals, and that there are "naughty" medical journals?

No kidding. The good journals are easy to access on the internet through a huge electronic database called Medline. This wonderful, free service is brought to you by the US National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health. In other words, by you. By your tax dollars. Generally it is money well spent, until you go searching for megavitamin therapy research papers. Then you will find that you can't find all of them. That is because of selective indexing.


Book: FDA: Failure, Deception, Abuse
This new book, a collection of articles from Life Extension Magazine, reveals closely guarded secrets about the relationship between the pharmaceutical industry, the government, and the medical research establishment. It documents how the FDA:

- Denies the introduction of life-saving therapies
- Suppresses safe methods of preventing disease
- Causes the price of drugs to be beyond the means of most
- Intimidates those who develop innovative methods
- Fails, by its own admission, to keep pace with science
- Criminalizes giving scientific information to consumers
- Censors medical information that would educate doctors
- Fails to protect the safety of our food
- Approves prescription drugs that prove lethal


Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe opens hearings on 'falsified' swine flu pandemic
The 47-nation Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe is conducting an inquiry into an alleged conspiracy between the WHO, the pharmaceutical industry and scientists which could "expose millions of healthy people to the risk of side-effects of insufficiently tested vaccines," caused damage to public budgets and to health agencies' credibility, according to a PACE resolution.

The motion was introduced by Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, head of the health committee, former German lawmaker and a specialist in lung disease, who called the current pandemic "one of the greatest medical scandals of the century."


Johnson & Johnson Charged With Kickback Scheme
The US Attorney in Boston says Johnson & Johnson paid tens of millions of dollars in kickbacks - in the form of special rebates and other payments - so Omnicare, the nation’s biggest provider of pharmacy services to nursing homes, would put more patients on its Risperdal schizophrenia med.


Is infant immunization a risk factor for childhood asthma or allergy?
The Christchurch Health and Development Study comprises 1,265 children born in 1977. The 23 children who received no diphtheria / pertussis / tetanus (DPT) and polio immunizations had no recorded asthma episodes or consultations for asthma or other allergic illness before age 10 years; in the immunized children, 23.1% had asthma episodes, 22.5% asthma consultations, and 30.0% consultations for other allergic illness. Similar differences were observed at ages 5 and 16 years.


Book: THE POISONED NEEDLE
Suppressed Facts About Vaccination
Our worst epidemics now are epidemics of vaccination in which more people are killed every year by "vaccinal diseases" than by the diseases that the vaccinations were supposed to combat.

Complete freedom from disease can scarcely be found except in remote islands or isolated communities that have not been invaded by medical mischief and commercialized products. Is our proud civilization to be degraded, corrupted, and destroyed by its own inventions designed for selfish profit and exploitation of the race?

Vaccination, instead of being the promised blessing to the world, has proved to be a curse of such sweeping devastation that it has caused more death and disease than war, pestilence, and plague combined. There is no scourge (with the possible exception of atomic radiation) that is more destructive to our nation’s health than this monument of human deception — this slayer of the innocent —this crippler of body and brain — THE POISONED NEEDLE.


Children In Bhutan Sacrificed For Corrupt Pentavalent Vaccine Research
The Global alliance for vaccines and immunization (GAVI), an alliance of government, UN agencies, vaccine makers and charities was formed in 2000 AD with a globally appreciated altruistic motive. The public private partnership, based in Geneva was set up with a seed fund of US$ 750 million from Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. When it began in 2000, there was only one company producing the pentavalent vaccine. Today there are at least four companies reaping profits from the alliance. The price has come down from $3.65 to $ 3.0 per dose, and profit swollen to 10 digits.

Without a pilot test or with no means to test, immunization using GAVI’s subsidized pentavalent vaccine was started nationwide in Bhutan on September 1, 2009. Within a month 8 children were reported killed by the vaccine. The parents of all these children are highly educated, who could track the cause. The actual deaths within this period are yet to be known. An unpublished draft report mentions that the ministry of health has registered at least 31 cases of deaths and hundreds of children sick who were immunized during this period.


WHO Advisor Secretly Pads Pockets with Big Pharma Money
According to documents acquired through the Danish Freedom of Information Act, Eskola’s Finnish institute, THL, received almost 6.3 million Euros from GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) for research on vaccines during 2009. GlaxoSmithKline produces the H1N1-vaccine ‘Pandemrix,’ which the Finnish government -- following recommendations from THL and WHO -- purchased for a national pandemic reserve stockpile.


The Pirate Party on copyright
by Christian Engström, Pirate Party, Member of the European Parliament
The right to privacy is more important than the right of big media companies to continue to make money in the same way as before, because the latter right does not even exist.

Today’s copyright also prevents or restricts many new and exciting cultural expressions. Sampled music on MySpace, remixes on YouTube, or why not a Wikipedia filled with lots of pictures and music in the articles? Copyright legislation says no.

The copyright laws must either be reformed or abolished outright. The Pirate Party advocates the reform alternative.

We want to set all non-commercial copying and use free, and we want to shorten the commercial protection time. But we want to keep the commercial exclusivity in a way that allows most business models that are viable today to continue to work.
