Heart poison

I specifically said: "But as Doug and I pointed out, the companies are just responding to what the mainstream opinion was which created demand for a product. You said the public was demanding it. It wasn't. It was PUSHED on the public, totally because of political, not scientific, considerations. You can claim otherwise until the cows come home, but that's exactly what happened. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbFQc2kxm9c * The public was told and accepted that margarine was a safe substitute for butter, which was bad. But the scientists KNEW it was bad! They protested vigorously (there are videos of it all over the net), but the politicians still won the day. Government is the enemy. Big Food are their cronies. No, that's in your jaundiced conspiracy world view, where the scientists decades ago knew that margarine was bad for you. The scientists knew that there was nothing wrong with butter (saturated fat, etc.), and that the long-term affects of eating trans-fat were unknown (until around the '90s). Do you think New Yorkers are clamoring for restrictions on salt, drink and meal size, etc? Or do you think that Nanny Bloomberg is just an ignorant fascist douchebag, like I do? What Bloomberg is doing isn't the issue. Yes it is. You make it sound like the people are creating this so-called "demand." They are not. It's the politicians. It's always the politicians (and their Big Food cronies). The issue is that the mainstream scientific and medical belief at this point in time is that excessive salt and super-sized sugary drinks are bad for people. Define: "excessive salt." If you have normal blood pressure, you can pretty much eat all the salt you want. Of course, morons like you don't like to test things like BP, cholesterol, BC, etc., so... Fact: ALL sugary drinks are bad for you. Why ban just super-sized ones? So, Bloomberg is REACTING to what is considered sound, mainstream science today. No he's not, because there is no consensus regarding salt! For the vast majority of us, salt is just fine, even desirable! Even necessary! Bloomberg is doing exactly what McGovern did: He's pushing an agenda that has nothing to do with science. Zero. Nada. Zilch. http://reason.com/blog/2012/06/04/salt-is-good-for-you Companies in turn made margarine products in response to that demand and people bought it. *You can't rewrite history, we were there and say it. Pointing out that it was PUSHED on a mostly gullible population is not rewriting history. It's simply telling the truth. See the above. No, you see the above. [...] This is not a matter of whether people should be forced to do what they have no interest in doing (I'm against that!). *It's all about doing things scientifically, and pointing out ways to do it and get the best possible results. There you go again. Forced? Who said anything about forcing anyone to do anything? You were speaking out against being a little bit low carb. That's exactly right. That's exactly my opinion. And I provided the reasons why I felt that way. You don't have to agree with them, I really don't care what you think about anything, anyway. But others might appreciate a different way of looking at the topic. They might want to improve their odds of success. If you're happy being a chubby little man, who has no idea what his actual health is (because you apparently don't want to know), by all means, keep doing what you're doing. I want you to. *And Darwin would want you to. Nice. Thank you! Wheat (even small amounts) stimulates appetite, and who wants that? If you have some studies that show that wheat as opposed to other similar foods has that effect, I'm sure we'd all like to see them. Read the book. In other words, as usual, you have no studies to support the assertions. I don't. But Dr. Davis and others do.

For others, here's a hint: gliadin "Modern wheat cultivars might contain more gliadins. Gliadins are also implicated in promoting appetite" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliadin -- Dogman "I have approximate answers and possible beliefs in different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything" - Richard Feynman |
