Diet, Woman's Health - New Mad Cowboy DVD

April 15, 2008

Wow.. lotta traffic on the list the past few days, a little time to read it all

(and soooo many same subject titles...).

Two things of note:

1) Study just out of over 88,000 woman regarding low-fat near-vegetarian diet

and Cardiovascular Disease:

-healthDASH

" April 14, 2008 -- A healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low in fat

has long been touted as heart smart. Now, increasing evidence suggests that a

similar diet reduces blood pressure and decreases a woman's risk for heart

attack and stroke... " Our study provides, to our knowledge, the strongest

evidence to date on the long-term benefits of the DASH diet in the primary

prevention of CVD among healthy subjects, " writes Teresa T. Fung, ScD, of

Simmons College, Boston. [go read Esselstyn and/or Ornish... Essy's got 20 years

of peer-review research on the topic]

..... the diet comprises plenty of fruits, vegetables, and plant proteins from

legumes and nuts, and moderate servings of low-fat dairy products. It is low in

meat... Restricting salt while on the diet provides an even greater blood

pressure reduction... "

A good read. They'd get even better results cutting out the dairy, meat, and

reducing the fat further... oh well, a step at a time.

2) Howard's latest DVD: " Mad Cowboy Lecture: 2007 " is out and I've posted the

1st 6 minutes as two small trailers at:

Best to all (and glad Suz survived her near " Wizard of Oz " experience), Mark
