Interesting.

When the Vegan Society, the Vegetarian Society, myself and many others used
to say that studies sponsored by the food industry years ago which used to
state over and over again that there was no link between Coronary Heart
Disease and what passed for a 'normal' omnivorous diet in those days were
biased, we were told we were wrong and sometimes even ridiculed!

Look what the opinion is nowadays - and at that time, my relations who
followed such a 'normal' diet were dropping like flies from coronaries and
strokes.

The evidence from Finland where even miscarried foetuses were found to have
coronary arteries already furred up with cholesterol was also ignored -
fortunately not by the Finnish government. And while they were busy
instituting a government-lead dietary health education scheme which has
saved a huge number of lives, our miserable apology for a government was
still saying that there was no link, nothing to worry about and that such a
scheme here in the UK would be unconstitutional! Meat etc. industry leaders
and MPs in the same Masonic Lodges, obviously!

And anyway - I *like* black tea, so there! ) I only hope they don't find
that a squeeze of lemon damages its health-giving properties as well.

On Nutritious Drink Studies, Consider the Funding Source

TUESDAY, Jan. 9 (HealthDay News) -- Before you take to heart any
research about the health effects of beverages such as milk, fruit
juice or soft drinks, find out who paid for the study.
If a beverage manufacturer or industry group funded the research, the
finding may be biased, researchers report.
