Evidence for has many, thus are generally known, so that no particular allegation. However, in recent studies and the reference information, there is evidence against it.
Scientists say that red meat and the full-fat dairy products do not represent such a big threat to the health of the heart. In the recently published book "Big fat surprise" (The Big Fat Surprise) journalist Nina Tejholc claims that foods rich in cholesterol might not have been so bad. She says that there is simply no scientific evidence that this is the case. She and the other critics have come to the conclusion that fatty foods unjustly blamed for heart disease.
However, Dr. Walter Willett, head of the Department of Nutrition at Harvard University, and his colleagues, however, advises caution when changing eating habits.
He says that although cholesterol may not be the only cause of heart problems, it is definitely not healthy and the contributes to weakening health.
"It's like a band - you have to bring all the parts and the find the right balance," says Willett. "There is only one factor that will solve your problems with the heart."
So, American woman Pearl Cantrell recently celebrated her one hundred and the fifth birthday. Believe it or not, she argues that the key to longevity so much that every day eating bacon!
- I love bacon and eat it every day. So much love, so I could eat it for every meal. Honestly, I do not feel so much that old really did - she told the old woman.
Finally, in ORIGINAL ARTICLE “Comparison of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Cholesterol Levels in the Prediction of First Cardiovascular Events”, by Paul M. Ridker, M.D., Nader Rifai, Ph.D., Lynda Rose, M.S., Julie E. Buring, Sc.D., and Nancy R. Cook, Sc.D. (N Engl J Med 2002; 347:1557-1565November 14, 2002DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa021993) presented the following information:
Both C-reactive protein and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels are elevated in persons at risk for cardiovascular events. However, population-based data directly comparing these two biologic markers are not available.
These data suggest that the C-reactive protein level is a stronger predictor of cardiovascular events than the LDL cholesterol level and that it adds prognostic information to that conveyed by the Framingham risk score.
Is fatty food enough convincing risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke?
No doubt that fatty food (saturated fat) could not be blamed for heart disease. This was a theory proposed by Ancel Keys. He analyzed 22 countries and found out that only 7 would prove his theory and so his theory was called the 7 countries theory. France is number one saturated fat consumer in the world, and yet it is a country with a low incidence of coronary heart disease.
Walter Willett is more than correct.He usually says small changes allow us to commit small mistakes. Big changes, may lead us to big mistakes. Concerning cholesterol being able to weaken one’s health, I can not agree to that. I know that low cholesterol levels can be more problematic to one’s life than when it is high. See chromosome 11q13 (SSLO).
Concerning the article COMPARISON OF CRP AND LDL…if they are elevated in persons at risk for cardiovascular events, it should not concluded that they should be blamed of any problem.
I would emphasize on diet as a whole unit rather than emphasizing specific individual foods. When talking about individual fatty food, I would like to ask two questions: how often does a person eat it; and how much does a person eat it every time. Responses to both questions will help knowing whether the way a person consumes the fatty food will potentially harm the cardiovascular health. Professional knowledge and skills are needed for the personalized assessment. For the public health targeting the population, of which the majority is layman, the reduction of fatty food consumption is the most efficient and economic way to reduce the dietary risk for cardiovascular disease as fatty food is rich in energy, fat, and animal cholesterol.
Why fatty food as a key risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), scientific papers already exposed the true fact about fatty food, cholesterol and CVD.
simple sugar or carbohydrate is the main contributing factor for CVD not the entire fatty food that we eat only trans-fat has role to speed up CVD.
