Hey, lookit!

 

<< Why, then, after all these years is heart disease still our No. 1

killer? It seems that the simple facts of life are still unknown to most

people and their doctors, on top of which our traditional diet

supplemented by junk food is an addiction too difficult to shake.

Government funded health organizations like the National Heart

Foundation do their best to educate the masses, but their out-of-date

information is still advocating too many protein, fat and cholesterol

foods. Conventional dietary advice is still based on the four basic food

groups concept devised in 1956 by the US Department of Agriculture

[NOTE: In Australia the basic foods are divided into five separate

groups], and supported of course by the meat, dairy and cereal

industries, thus leading the most conscientious people nutritionally

astray.

 

Be that as it may, the answer to the problem of avoiding heart disease

is not to eat the foods that cause atherosclerosis. Remember that all

foods of animal origin, including dairy products and eggs, contain fat

and cholesterol and too much protein. Lay off them and preferably avoid

them. Replace them with fresh fruit and vegetables and don't make

Pritikin's mistake of overindulging in grain products. Foods from

vegetable sources contain no cholesterol, they contain proper amounts of

protein and fats, and provide better nutrition with less toxic

by-products if consumed uncooked. It is easier said than done, but is

preferable to coronary bypass surgery. And of course if it is done

properly there will be no toxemia and therefore no cancer, arthritis,

diabetes and all the rest.>>
