Some of the following information is a repeat of other pages and categories on this website.

 

Good old fashion simple empirical  evidence is really hard to beat. Rather than listening constantly to the world of experts, at times it might be wise to simply use good old common sense and make your own observations.

 

We the people are constantly lied to by politicians, government agencies, mega corporations, non-profit health organizations, the corporate media, the medical industry, the pharmaceutical industry and the list goes on and on. We are bombarded constantly with new studies informing us what we should do for good health. This is good, and this is bad. If you've read another link on this site #10 Studies,  you have seen that one study will tell you one thing, while another will tell you just the opposite. It can be very frustrating to say the least. 

 

I'm personally drawn to good old fashion empirical evidence - What I see with my own eye's. I don't think it can be beat. We all know about the two big culbrits for bad health that we were informed about after the mid 20th century. That  nasty tobacco and saturated fat & cholesterol.

 

Let's take a serious look at what has happened since we were given this great advise. Today, millions of people apparently can't see the forest through the tree's as they say. As Albert Einstein once said, when people keep doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result -  that's insanity.

 

When it comes to health, we can easily observe that millions of Americans today  seem to be doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.  The power of non-stop propaganda the past few decades is unbelievable. Today, for us to observe and begin to change direction, it often literally takes decades.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A quick overview with some observations and photo's.

Let's look at where we are today since we gave up the tobacco habit and began eating low fat food as we were told we must do for good health.  

 

1 - First it was to give up that nasty tobacco habit because of a rise in cancer, particularly lung cancer, heart disease, and  today just about any medical problem one could think of that is blamed on tobacco. Millions traded the dreaded tobacco for more food, low fat processed of course. 

Results: Americans now smoke the least in the developed world. We now enjoy one of the highest rates of premature deaths from lung cancer and  heart disease and many other illnesses. See 1st chart at link #7 Health country comparisons. We have the highest death rate from Alzheimer's disease (by far) in the developed world.

 

2 - Then we started eating everything low fat. Low fat nutricianless white colored water for milk, low fat sour cream and cottage cheese, more grains, genetically  modified (GMO) of course,   and of course less red meat.

Results: We are now the most over-weight and obese developed nation on the planet. We have more premature deaths from diabetes in the world. We have the shortest life expectancy from birth in the industrialized world. We have the shortest number of healthy productive years lived. We spend by far more money per capita on health care in the industrialized world. We use more prescription drugs than any nation in the world. We have overall more medical procedures performed in the world per capita.

We also have more deaths from bad medical care and procedures in the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where are all the over-weight and obese people? Did they know what a low fat diet was? Did they know what choleserol was? 1 in 25 to 30 had diabetes. Almost 1 in 3 have diabetes in the USA  today. And this is increasing every year.

 

 

 

Obesity and all the medical problems  that go with it were rare in the early 20th century when nobody new what a low fat diet or cholesterol was.

Note - Russia has an increase in tobacco users over the USA of approx. 202% with no PD deaths.

 

Americans have a 2000% increase in AD deaths over Russia.

 

Also interesting to note, Belgium smokes the least, and has the highest rates of both AD & PD among all these countries -- Hello!
