They also said at one point in time that eggs and shell fish were bad for heart patients...only to recant later...
In the meantime, many heart patients lost weight due to malnutrition....which was also considered good...

Mark Twain says about Huckleberry Finn’s aunt that she read every magazine about health, ignoring that the following issue reversed the findings of the one she just read. I noticed in reading study after study that sometimes they’re based on one or two observations. Whatever happened to double blind studies and peer review?
However...
Not having carnitine can be a very bad thing
The carnitines exert a substantial antioxidant action, thereby providing a protective effect against lipid peroxidation of phospholipid membranes and against oxidative stress induced at the myocardial and endothelial cell level
Carnitine is primarily used for heart-related conditions. Several clinical trials show that L-carnitine and propionyl-L-carnitine can be used along with conventional treatment for angina to reduce medication needs and improve the ability of those with angina to exercise without chest pain
it is required for the transport of fatty acids from the cytosol into the mitochondria during the breakdown of lipids (fats) for the generation of metabolic energy.
I'm now marinating my steaks in energy drinks before grilling them up!
How about we let them live and eat in their natural environment?
“These” people keep messing with our food sources, then turn around and blame the food.
They keep saying “there is an obesity problem”. Perhaps it has to do with all the growth hormones they inject our food supply with, let alone all the thing we don't know about. All these hormones being injected into our food supply could very well explain the "gender confusion" that seems so rampant these days.
The solution is not to stop eating red meat or energy drinks.
But to fix the gut bacteria so they don’t do this bad thing.
I have to wonder is some cultures fare better with heart ddisease because they have different gut flora.
We have chickens, so I eat a ton of eggs. Can you show me the research that says eggs are not bad for your cholesterol, please?
Steak Tartare shall never die........
I had a friend, a heart surgeon, who explained to me how I should live. He told me to enjoy my life. He also informed me of many studies of the diet and lifestyles in France and Italy, where heart disease is not the big problem.
Though high in fats, sugars and other SUPPOSEDLY/ALLEGEDLY bad-for-you foods, they also drink lots of red wine. He told me to drink red wine every day. I do.
I have twin brothers who are 3 years older. They both have had multiple heart attacks, and one is having liver problems from excessive alcohol use. He can kill a bottle of Jim Beam in a night.
I buy cheap boxes of Merlots and Cabs. I usually have a glass or two every evening. I'm 65, and God-willing, should follow many of my predecessors to be 100 or thereabouts when I die (unless I get run over by a Mack truck first!). I have moderately high BP, have not had any heart conditions, and enjoy eating a good steak, ENC-style PORK BBQ, and must finish that one with a good banana pudding or slice of pecan pie!
I am now living in the Philippines, and have a difficult time finding good beef, but pork and seafood here are fresh and most excellent. I may import some cows and let some of my new family members here on Leyte make me a fortune!
You like paying $15 a pound for ground beef and 30 for steaks? Thats what we would pay if followed your plan.
Any L-carnitine to be found in cheesecake, Stilton or ice cream?
Makes you think why don’t these fools make up their minds?
“I’m the enemy because I like to think. I like to read. I’m into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I’m the kind of guy that could sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs or the side order of gravy fries? I want high cholesterol. I would eat bacon and butter and buckets of cheese. Okay? I want to smoke Cuban cigars the size of Cincinnati in the nonsmoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-O all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I might suddenly feel the need to. Okay, pal?” - Dennis Leary Demolition Man
Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I’ve SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It’s a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing “I’m an Oscar Meyer Wiener”.
Best rant, ever.
Red meat also appears to increase the risk of colorectal cancer.
New culprit for red meat health risks
Gut flora metabolism of phosphatidylcholine promotes cardiovascular disease FReebie
"We next examined the impact of dietary choline and gut flora on endogenous formation of cholesterol-laden macrophage foam cells, one of the earliest cellular hallmarks of the atherosclerotic process."Those cells are often called foamy macrophages or just foam cells. Macrophages are part of the innate immune system.
"The human intestinal microbial community is an enormous and diverse ecosystem with known functions in nutrition, gut epithelial cell health, and innate immunity31. Intestinal flora also has recently been implicated in development of some metabolic phenotypes such as obesity and insulin resistance, as well as alterations in immune responses 11,3234."They didn't really describe the gut microbes, just how they wiped them out: "An antibiotic cocktail (0.5 g/L vancomycin, 1 g/L neomycin sulfate, 1 g/L metronidazole, 1 g/L ampicillin) previously shown to be sufficient to deplete all detectable commensal bacteria37 was administered in drinking water ad lib."
I think they still exist, but they don't make good Facebook comments.
The effect on different mixes of GI flora on many areas of health is a hot topic right now. It affects many things, including weight gain or loss. One theory says that the reason heart disease "runs in families" isn't genetics, but that family members have similar gut flora mixes.
