Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted March 21 Moderators Posted March 21 Nutritional health has long been a part of the SDA Message. "Nutrition Action" has long been a publication on this subject. I read it in printed forum. However, it also exists on the Internet. (NOTE: I am not certain if the Internet forum constitutes the entire printed forum.) I believe that the March/April current issue has a lot for Adventists to consider. The following is a link to Internet editions. https://www.cspi.org/page/nutrition-action-archive Gregory Matthews phkrause 1 Quote Gregory
Joe Knapp Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Quote “There is no question that high saturated fat diets raise LDL, or ‘bad,’ cholesterol,” says Hu. Twenty years old advice. People are not dieing of cholesterol. They are TOO FAT !!! Quote That’s misleading, though it’s true that the trials that have been done are far from perfect. For starters, many were conducted in the 1960s and ’70s. Their research is more than 20 years old. Quote n 1962, a committee supported by the National Institutes of Health estimated that a randomized trial to test the impact of fats on coronary heart disease in middle-aged US men would require a whopping 100,000 volunteers and take 4 to 5 years. Then, in 1971, a follow-up analysis by a federal task force concluded that a so-called National Diet-Heart Trial was not feasible, in part because it would need to be so long and so large that it would cost an estimated $500 million to $1 billion or more in 1971 dollars. And the volunteers would be unlikely to stick to their diets over the length of the trial. Quote
Joe Knapp Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Quote In a recent study that followed more than 220,000 people for up to 33 years, participants with the highest intake of vegetable oils (like olive and canola) had a lower risk of dying during the study than those with the lowest intake. Substituting about two teaspoons of butter a day with plant-based oils was linked to a 17 percent lower risk of early death. Canola has been known for years to be very bad stuff. Butter is very healthy. Quote “It’s okay to have some full-fat dairy or even red meat occasionally in a healthy diet,” Hu notes. “But those animal foods should not be the foundation. It’s not a good idea to go back to the meat-centric plate of the 1950s and 1960s.” This is why Adventists are so fat. They do not have enough protein in their diet and do not have good muscles. Without good muscles, you get insulin resistance and diabetes. Quote
