    Saturated Fat A Serial Killer Or Just Another Witch Hunt Victim

    Once again science is tested and found wanting. For years the wankers in white coats, with the

    approval of their political masters, the support of the media and the complicity of the medical

    professions have been telling us saturated fat is the Heart Disease Villain.

    Some of us were sceptical of course, having received the character forming Renaissance

    Education which teaches us to question everything, we examined the claims of those brainwashed

    blockheads who had been dumbed down by the ultra conformist STEM* education we subjected

    claims that saturated fats was the culprit, a lone psychopath responsible for many thousands of

    murders. While the PhD prostitutes were producing the results their paymasters required of them

    (science was ever fascism's whore) and a caricature heart attack victim, a fry up chomping, beer

    swilling, chain smoking labourer named Joe Bese and his girlfriend Marcie Muffintop were paraded

    as a figures we must learn to hate, fat, stupid, lazy, slobbed out in front of the TV, burger in one

    hand, beer can in the other, a five gallon bucket of pork scratchings never far away.

    Meanwhile the scientists of the Big Pharma profit sweller's academy were conspiring with foodcorporations to sneak the real villain of the heart disease and diabetes pandemic into our diets under

    various guises.

    Healthy food and good for your waistline

    We sceptics, already bloodied but unbowed by our long and bitter fight against the

    Warmageddonists and CAGWARTs** of the Anthropogenic Global Warming scam had to join

    battle on a second front. We took up the gauntlet without complaint, we pointed out to these science

    worshippers who are always raving about evolution that in fact evolution had engineered out bodies

    to deal with saturated fat, that the Eskimo, Inuit and the Sami all of which tribes live inside theArctic Circle had huge amounts of highly saturated fat in their diets, that the people of france,

    Germany and the Scandinavian nations all consume on average more saturated fat and salt than

    British and American people but have lower rates of heart disease

    and live longer.

    It was to no avail, the science was settled we were told. The

    scientists had produced the results their corporate and political

    bosses wanted, taken the money and moved on to their next scam.The food police were running around as if eating a steak or a pork

    pie, a lasagne or pizza, enjoying a cake and a coffee with cream

    were forms of treason more heinous that selling your country's

    secrets to the enemy.

    Oh you evil person, you had butter on that bread roll instead of low fat spread. You shook a

    little salt on your fish and chips when you should not be easting fried fish and chips but steamed

    fish and wilted spinach. We must burn you, spawn of Satan, they would cry.

    It was all bollocks of course. Pure propaganda, a crude attempt to divert attention from the real

    villiain behind the high rates of heart disease in the English Speaking world, refined sugar and the

    other highly processed foods created by scientists to swell our bodies and the profits of the food

    processing companies. And as a secondary effect to boost profits for Big Pharma as people were

    debilitated by cardio vascular disease, diabetes,

    Meanwhile the Dr. Evil style chemist whose plan is to turn us all into addicts to his creations

    with quick fixes, sugar rushes that soon wear off but will not do us any harm he promises, is lauded

    as a prophet of the new global religion of Scientism.

    While Joe Bese and Marcie Muffintop were being pilloried in the town square the propaganda

    was ramped up. You eat the hamburger, steak, pork chop, buttered bread, cheese sandwich,

    scrambled eggs, the saturated fat forms plaques that attach to the walls of your arteries, the arteries

    clog up like the plumbing in hard water areas. And once that plaque is there, it cannot be got rid of.

    Not a day would go by without us seeing

    some earnest, semi anorexic 'nutritionist'

    outside a supermarket waving a frozen ready

    meal at us and screeching about how eating just

    one of these would shorten our lives by severalnanoseconds and pointing out the amount of

    saturated fat it contained. Those ready meale are

    not good for us but it is not the saturated fat we

    should fear, the additives, preservatives,

    colourings, flavourings and other stuff nature

    could never have created is a bigger threat to health. The sell was plausible and easy to understand.

    So easy, in fact, people closed my ears to heretical suggestions from independent scientists andnatural health advocates that there was no conclusive evidence to link saturated fat to death from

    coronary heart disease.

    Then, to quote Snoopy Versus The Red Baron, in the

    nick of time a hero rose. As mistrust of scientists and the

    media reached a pinnacle, Dr. Lundell stepped up to the

    mark.

    Having performed over 5,000 open heart surgeries, I freelyadmit to being wrong, says Dr. Lundell, a retired US heart

    surgeon who is now pointing the finger at sugar in his book

    The Great Cholesterol Lie which is attracting the usual hate

    attacks from the progressive liberal wing of the global

    fascist movement and generating a storm of controversy as

    critics in the acadmic world dismiss Lundell as a quack as they always have before when any honest

    doctor threatened one of their research grant generating sacred cows).

    The theory that refined sugar, processed (hydrolized) oils and processed ('simple') carbohyrates

    goes like this:

    Processed foods are very easily assimilated by the body, the normal metabolic process which

    regulates the release of energy is bypassed because the parts of the food that balance it with the

    body's processes are removed.

    Sugar and other processed carbohydrates, together with supposedly healthy oils, inflame

    artery walls. When you spike your blood sugar level several times a day, it is like taking sandpaper

    to the inside of your delicate blood vessels, says Lundell, Also, infections can cause the same

    damage.

    The reason aspirin seems to prevent heart attacks is that it soothes inflammation. Cholesterol,

    meanwhile, is an innocent bystander, in fact cholesterol (which is produced naturally in the body

    (the stuff we take in through our diet is broken down by the digestive system and the liver)is

    essential to our wellbeing and too little is more dangerous that too much according to many

    independent experts.

    Sugar however, refined white sugar, is one of very few foodstuffs thats addictive: it stimulates

    the brain in a manner similar to cocaine. Has anyone anywhere ever opened a box of chocolates in

    the office and had any left to take home? Well OK, but apart from the Coffee crme?

    The problem is devastating in the USA where a quick glance at the ingredients list on food

    packaging will reveal the presence of something called ' high fructose corn syrup' in almost

    everything. Well high fructose corn syrup is worth a story of it's own but it's perhaps best if you

    read it elsewhere ( here here ... here here ... and here ) as this is an article not a book. In the

    developing world, among the huge populations of Brazil and India for example, poor people have

    leapfrogged from malnourishment to obesity to to the introduction of cheap, highly processed food.

    How can it be that food grown in the normal way and then shipped to cities (sometimes on

    different continents) subjected to energy intensive processing in large factories, packaged in

    expensive materials, shipped to air conditioned supermarkets and sold in small portions be so muchcheaper than stuff grown organically on a local farm, picked and sold in the street market a few

    miles from where it was grown, you might well ask?

    That is down to the insanities of globalisation and modern accounting practices and again is

    another article (or several). This is only a warning about the misleading propaganda we are fed

    (sweetened and bulked out with corn syrup) about the dangers of heart disease. There are a few sites

    highlighted below where useful information on natural health can be found. Now you might see

    some stuff at these that is a bit new agey and might seem weird. Well you are an intelligent human being, you have a built in Bullshit detector, use it. If you find something about eating natural whole

    food or using herbs and spices to prevent / treat problems, consider it but look for other sources to

    back it up before you act. If you find something about communicating with aliens, it's up to you to

    choose how you react.

    And if you decide to go cold turkey on the refined sugar and processed food, remember there is

    no need to turn it into a religious crusade. Our bodies are wonderfully resilient and a modicum of

    restraint combined with a discriminating attitude when making our choices in the supermarket will be enough to keep most of us healthy. Remember Joe Besze and Marcie Muffintop were not born

    Heart Disease, Health And The Big Fat Lies Of The Medical Industry

    For forty years health scientists and medical professionals have waxed hysterical about the

    evils of saturated fat, just as they have about that other dietary evil, salt. None however has been

    able to answer the European question; why do the French who eat much more saturated fat and saltthan we do have lower rates of heart disease. The answer of course obvious to anyone except a

    scientist because scientists are genetically unequipped to think anything they have not been told to

    think by the people funding their research. Or so it would seem.

    Over the decades there have been a few mavericks such as Dr. Robert Atkins, who have

    challenged this saturated fat "science is settled" dogma. Also a few specialist health journalists in

    mainstream newspapers, such as the Daily Telegraph's James Le Fanu, have repeatedly exposed the

    flawed logic of the saturated fat / cholesterol theory of cardio vascular disease. Dr Le Fanu has

    always maintained that (most) people should stick to the boiled eggs and buttered soldiers for

    breakfast and avoided margarine as if their lives depended on it. But the mainstream view for 40

    years, as dished out to the public in health campaigns and via the NHS, mainstream media and

    government propaganda has been "avoid saturated fat like the plague, don't even look at butter,

    cream or lard.

    Use only oil-based low fat spreads or you will surely die an early and horrible death (of

    boredom?).

    But this view is changing, the dishonest science lobby forgets there are intelligent people out in

    the real world, people capable of understanding chemical notation and therefore sussing out that the

    much hyped "low fat spread" (hydrogenated vegetable fat) was in fact as close as the food

    processing could possibly get to manufacturing arterial plaque, the stuff that bungs up arteries and

    causes heart disease, most strokes and blood clots. If you doubt it, if you are one of those fools who

    is thinking, why should I believe this blogger chappie rather than a load of medical experts, well

    just remember this blogger is not paid by big Pharma. Then consider that we have a leading young

    cardiologist, Aseem Malhotra, writing in the British Medical Journal today, saying quite plainly: "If

    you have a choice between butter and margarine, have the butter every time."

    The evidence is pretty persuasive. The essence of it is: recent studies have failed to support any

    significant association between saturated fat intake and cardiovascular risk. Indeed, saturated fat has

    actually been found to be protective though it should come from natural sources, not processed

    food where it's mixed with harmful chemical additives. That is to say, steak is all right, but an Ulster

    Fry sausage slice, black pudding, bacon etc should be for special occasions only. Basically what

    the science has done (as always) is to bury the logic and common sense again.

    "Oh look," they say, "people who eat a lot of saturated fat get very fat a lot of heart attacks therefore

    saturated fats causes heart attacks and we must stop people from eating any." Such a failure of logic

    must be at least partly deliberate, a more realistic conclusion is, "People who eat a lot of everything

    eat more saturated fat than others because they eat more of everything. Therefore we must look at

    other dietary factors associated with weight gain such as highly processed sugars and starches,

    chemical additives and trans - fats," (the kind of fats that could never be produced in nature). News

    report: BBC News

    What has happened over the past forty years is that public health propaganda campaigns have

    relentlessly plugged the"natural fat equals bad fat, scientifically frigged about with fat is good and

    healthy" message. The general public has responded, egged on by the food companies flogging

    "low-fat" processed snacks and meals. The trouble is, fat makes substances palatable to eat, and if

    you take it out the food will taste bland.

    So what did the food processors do? They replaced all that natural fat with highly refined sugar

    (high fructose corn syrup - which you will find in almost all American food brands) to provide a

    substitute taste hit.

    And did obesity decline in this period? No it did not, it expanded faster than a junk food

    addicts waistline. Over the past 30 years in the US, as the proportion of energy derived from fat in

    the diet fell from 40 per cent to 30 per cent, obesity rocketed. And there is plenty of evidence thatrefined sugar is an independent risk factor for the metabolic syndrome.

    Dr. Malhotra is not the only one questioning the dishonest and dangerous orthodoxy imposed

    by the establishment. Apart from the article above this one, there is a steady stream of docxtors and

    researchers questioning the received wisdom.

    For years alternative health practitioners, i.e. a mix of seriously competent and committed

    medically qualified professionals and a few seriously flaky mavericks with rather dubious

    qualifactions, have been telling us the advice on heart disease pumped out by the government / big

    pharma propaganda machine is wrong. highly processed foods like margarine are not healthy and in

    fact are worse for us that much maligned natural fats like butter and lard. Well it is no surprise to

    learn government and corporate 'experts' lied, that's what they are employed to do. Everything they

    said is bad for you is good for you

    They have also told us time and again that the main culprit in the pandemic of heart disease is

    not cholesterol, a compounds manufactured naturally in the body, but processed foods.

    Foods like white sugar, white flour and table salt are so highly processed they are stripped of

    almost everything that balances them to our body's natural processes. Thus we have not been

    engineered by evolution to cope with these unnatural substances.
