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
01.08.07, 12:00 AM ET


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.


Don't worry. I always take everything with a small pinch of salt.

Sea salt of course because they put a cyanide compound in ordinary table
salt as an anti-caking agent!! It's true. Sodium Hexacyanoferrate, using the
form of the chemical name where the word 'cyanide' isn't all that obvious to
the average member of the public.

They used a calcium compound up to a decade or so ago but the new stuff is
probably cheaper - probably a waste product from some industrial process or
other.

I wouldn't say I'm paranoid, but if someone tells me 2+2=4, the first
thought that comes into my head is: Why does he want me to believe that?
