Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 This study is extremly long to see the whole article go to: http://www.chelationtherapyonline.com/articles/p72.htm These men formed a front group, called the American Health Foundation about 1970. .. . . the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the American Health Foundation, David J. Mahoney, was also the President of Norton Simon, Inc., the leading producer of cottonseed oil (Wesson Oil), which is pointedly advertised as polyunsaturated. Click Here to read the fabulous credentials of this supposed philanthropist -- who made his money through corruption! Click here to read even more about his astounding " luck " in business -- all based on his giving the giant drug companies exactly what they wanted and needed -- a perpetual monopoly on cholesterol-lowering drugs that do not help, but create billions of dollars of profits for the drug companies. Click here to discover, finally, that David Mahoney was an apologist for psychiatry. He died in May 2000. This front group then obtained $6 million from the Federal Government for the purpose of educating the American public about the dangers of eating saturated fats [butter]! From now on I’m going to refer to these unethical businessmen as trolls or master planners! Their real purpose was not just selling their vegetable oil, but removing a natural and healthy product (butter) from the market and substituting a chemically created product (margarine). This helped set the stage to make people more and more dependent on all sorts of drugs -- from crops raised with artificial fertilizers, to medical drugs and finally, through the help of psychiatrists, street drugs. In July, 1972, the National Cancer Institute (a totally tax-supported organization) awarded this commercial foundation $2 million of tax money to further a program to prevent cancer and to assist in the construction of a new Health Research Institute. In August of the same year, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute [NHLBI] (another thoroughly tax-supported organization) awarded the foundation $3.3 million of our tax money to research lowering elevated blood cholesterol. The thesis being tested was that increased polyunsaturated [margarine] intake would lower serum cholesterol and by so doing reduce the risk of heart attack. In 1975, the NHLBI granted $1.1 million to the MrFit Program. It is interesting to note that the advisory steering committee for the MrFit Programincludes two representatives from the American Health Foundation, Drs. Peter Peacock and Lloyd Shewchuk The MrFit Program dealt with men with high risk of heart disease. They finally selected 12,866 for the final tests. Half continued to get whatever care they were getting from their regular doctors. The other half was called the " Special Intervention Group " because their lives were intruded upon greatly! The program was mostly psychiatric manipulation -- aimed at getting these high risk heart people to stop smoking, improve their diet and otherwise change their life styles. The first objective was a lowering of blood cholesterol by massive changes in diet. As far as behavior modification is concerned, the tests were very successful. Those being tested reduced their dietary cholesterol by a massive 42%! Saturated fat consumption dropped by 28%. Total calories dropped by 21%. What didn’t change was the amount of cholesterol in their blood! Of course. This had been the earlier findings of dozens of other studies. This MrFit Program was supposed to come up with different results. Originally the goal of the Program was to reduce blood cholesterol by a very modest 10%. Depending on how you measured it, they achieved either a 5% or 6.7% reduction. The researchers worked hard, with their psychiatric tricks, to stop these guys from smoking. About 50% actually quit smoking. But the ones who quit were the light smokers. The heaviest smokers were least likely to stop. So, the psychiatric tricks didn’t actually work much. The researchers also wanted to achieve a lowering of blood pressure with these diet and life style changes. They did reach a good success on that -- which suggests that diet and life style DO affect blood pressure even if they don’t affect blood cholesterol. I, personally, believe that excess weight is the number one factor in predicting disease of all kinds, and that proper diet is the number one solution for excess weight. The bottom line for all this research was to be the reduction in death rates among the people whose lives were intruded upon! They expected to reduce heart disease deaths by 25% in the group being tested. The tests failed completely! There was no significant difference in heart disease deaths when comparing the two groups! Actually, there were more heart deaths in the intervention group, although the difference was not statistically significant. More surprises? The group that got no special treatment? Their cholesterol levels dropped just as much as the group getting the $115 million intervention. Could it be that factors not even being examined were causing both groups to have a lower blood cholesterol? Twenty nine percent of the group that got no psychiatric treatments stopped smoking. Even the blood pressure of the untreated group came down, without the special intervention. All in all, the MrFit Program was a complete failure. Yet, when you read references to it, today, you’ll hear how it " proves " that cholesterol in your food is bad for you, and causes heart disease. Yet, here is the official conclusion. In other words, they found that changing the " risk factors " does not apparently change the risks. This necessarily means that the " risk factors " are not as important as was thought. Indeed, it should be concluded that the " risk factors " were no such thing, at least as far as this trial is concerned. Source It’s another example of the master planners finding something to be white, and calling it black. When they spend billions of dollars on promotion, you might believe it is black! Certainly your doctor believes it! You realize, of course, that it was NOT butter they were after, but the cholesterol contained in butter -- if the trolls could make cholesterol into a danger substance (which it is NOT), then they could find a drug to " lower cholesterol " (which they did) and make billions of dollars managing a fake disease. This is the ideal scene for a drug company -- a drug that " works " (because it does lower cholesterol) but doesn't decrease death or illness! -- *§ §* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
