I have heard that high fructose corn syrup, that is put in our soft drinks and even in our frozen juice concentrates, gets credit for triggering arterial inflammation, which is the primary cause of all of our circulatory system disease. There is a chemical component in corn that triggers a reaction much like your teenage son gets that skin inflammation called acne. This same chemical component gets in the fats of livestock that are fed corn.

Other scientists say that it is the hydrogenation of oil that is causing heart disease; a disease that was practically unheard of 100 years ago.

I am suggesting that heart disease must be approached on a scientific level. Until it is understood what exactly is happening to cause heart disease, everything we do is based upon superstition. The sooner we find the cause, the sooner we can make corrections to eliminate effects of the cause. The real question should be asked: with all the billions poured into heart research, why has there come no answers and no cure for a disease that has happened upon us only in the last 100 years?

None of this food kills you. That is a myth. What kills you is eating food and laying on your barca lounger watching "Law and Order" reruns.

200 channels on TV and the only good show is an animated one about 4th graders tackling todays issues. And the start of the show is fat.
