The Oiling of Americia

[Donald Allen]

Taken from the Weston A. Price Foundation And I quote( In 1956,an American Heart Association (AHA) fund -raiser aired on all three Major Networks.At that time the Panelists presented the Lipid Hypothesisa as the cause of heart disease epidemic and launched the Prudent Diet,one in which corn oil,margarine,chicken and cold cereal replaced butter,lard,beef and eggs. But the television campain was not an unqualified sucess because one of the panelists ,Dr.Dudley White,disputed his colleagues at the AHA.Dr.White noted that heart disease in the form of myocardial infarction was nonexistent in the 1900 when eggs consumption was three times what it was in 1956 and when corn oil was unavailable. When pressed to support the Prudent Diet,Dr.White replied :"See here,I began my practice as a cardiologist in 1921 and I never saw an MI patent until 1928. Back in the MI free days before 1920, the fats were butter and lard and I think that we would all benefit from the kind of diet thet we had at that time when no one ever heard of the word corn oil) So why are the Companies that make margarine trying to force it down our throats ? Is it for the Money? Read all about it on the web site.
