The War on Cholesterol

I am an LPN Nurse and recouping from being very sick; this is how I ate myself back to health

By Joan McDaniel                                    July 4, 2012

Current Media blogs and headlines are covering SCOTUS recent ruling officially legalizing Obama Care. The Conservative Media’s covering SCOTUS’s further destruction of our freedom’s is truly justified and very alarming.  But, if we take a brief step back in time and review some history, we will see government’s control of our health, health care, and food has been in effect for some time now. We will also see the ‘unintended consequences’ has cause the increased risk of serious diseases, diabetes, health problems and death.  One thing for sure  was a  tremendous growth of the Health Care, Big Business and Pharmaceutical Drug Industry. Many drug companies became a “over- night” success with the release of the drugs under the class called Stains.

Government health advisors were influenced by Dr. Ancel Keys warnings about the harmful effects of cholesterol in the diet and his recommendations  of the Mediterranean Diet, Diet-Heart Hypothesis, Cholesterol Hypothesis, Fat-Free Diet and Lipid Hypothesis.

In the early 1990, the U.S. Government released its ‘Food Pyramid’, making Low-fat/High-carb diet the official America's food plan. The Low-Fat/High-carb diet became the fad and law of the land. It was “Good for You” and you were un-American, if you ate anything else. At the same time, the Drug industry released the high-cholesterol fighting drugs called Statins.

No one talks about my problem- too low cholesterol.

LoveMyTown.
Your correct I did not in this article. I have the same problem. I believe that it is as serious as a high cholesterol. But if you really look into it, the whole thing about cholesterol is really over blown. I have been eating coconut oil and my LDL did increase, The doctors don't are about LDL but in his books Dr. Fife thinks it is an indicator of an imbalance and is as important as HDL. But coconut oil fixes it.

Aerial of United Water's proposed water treatment plant location

Untrue. Perhaps if United Water wasn't sending over 2 million gallons a day from Deforest Lake toRead More they're customers in Bergen County we would not have this shortage. Hydrologists have shown that there is enough water regularly collected in Rockland's reservoirs and aquifers for our current and growing needs. Many of the "facts" that United Water is putting forward are outdated, and are based on they're own mismanagement of our water basin. Lets remember that United Water has repeatedly been removed as a water provider of major cities throughout this country (6+ last time I checked, notably even from Camden NJ) for mismanagement of water resources. I think its a prudent choice to look into a plant that we will be stuck paying for for the next 4 years from a company that has repeatedly lied and provided water with toxin levels high above legal limits to they're customers. Better safe than sorry.

Rockland has grown to the point that it needs more water. Terminating the flow of a river and takingRead More the water resources away from other communities (stealing what we need) isn't going to happen.

A Response to the Response Mr. Michael Pointing, writing on behalf of United Water, opined in theRead More Journal News (June 7) and the Nyack Patch (June 11) that an Issues Conference on the pending desalination project is unnecessary. When it is so greatly to his personal and professional benefit to support this project, how can he expect to be taken seriously? Comments on the "desal" plant have only rarely mentioned that the radioactive tritium, which each day leaks into the Hudson from Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant - just 3 miles upstream from the plant - will end up, in diluted form, in our drinking water. Problem is, although highly diluted, there's no way to filter out tritium since it is chemically identical to water. Worse, there's no known safe exposure level. Like "normal" water, tritium goes into your body as fast as you drink it. Good news: about half of the tritium you do drink is filtered out by the kidneys within about ten days. Bad news: When your kitchen faucet keeps providing you with small amounts of tritium day after day, it tends to keep whatever levels you have in your body elevated. Welcome to your future, Rockland. Say, how about cracking open a nice plastic bottle of Deer Park for mixing up that baby formula? Why does United Water want this project to go forward so quickly as to necessarily preclude a thorough public education process in which all the variables and all the options can be openly discussed? What if one day you decided you don't like UW anymore and you wished the water utility was still owned by the government and not the private sector, because at least that way through your vote, you could democratically elect new people who would shut the plant down (whereas you can never "vote out" a private corporation from owning the pipes that carry your drinking water)? Let's just say arbitrarily that for the first ten years following completion of this more or less irreversible project there was an average of 500 additional picocuries of tritium per liter showing up in drinking water in Rockland County that was not there before. Even the NRC says Indian Point emits tritium into the ground water and presumably into the Hudson as well, since Hudson water is what flows - 24 hours a day - into and out of the power plant, cooling the atomic reaction that creates electrical power). In 1976 the EPA decided (more or less arbitrarily) that 20,000 picocuries of radioactivity would be roughly the "safe" upper limit for human consumption (due to drinking tritium or any other radionuclide). I say "arbitrarily" because I am aware of no one who has actually tried this since then, to see if it really turned out to be safe. Whose insurance policy would make Rockland homeowners whole again if at some future point tritium (or other radionuclide) levels skyrocketed while property values plummeted? Maybe something so terrible could never, ever happen. I certainly hope it couldn't. But why are we residents the guinea pigs, and how come we pay more - not less - for our water just so UW can do more business and, of course, collect more in utility bills? By the way, Fukushima was also never ever supposed to happen. Human health is not something you go back and study all over again once you realize you've lost it. Doesn't Rockland County have enough cancer already? Dan Rostan Nyack
