Heart organization keeps getting it wrong <\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a "simple" way to get fatter and sicker faster than ever, then the American Heart Association has a plan for you. <\/p>\n

It’s called "Life’s Simple 7." Aside from the name, there’s nothing new here — it’s just a repackaging of the same tired poppycock I’ve been fighting for decades. <\/p>\n

Four of these simpletons’ steps are just dead wrong: <\/p>\n

Step #1: Peck on a low-fat diet.
\nStep #2: Panic over your cholesterol levels.
\nStep #3: Exercise your way to misery.
\nStep #4: Quit smoking.<\/p>\n

I’ve got a one-step plan for them: Ignore steps 1-4. The only thing simple about their steps is how simply wrong they are. <\/p>\n

But really, what’d you expect? This is an organization that rakes in millions every year from Big Pharma and the major food manufacturers. If you think that kind of money doesn’t talk, then you’re just not listening. <\/p>\n

These are the same drug lords who sell meds to control blood pressure and cholesterol levels. And these are the food barons that make and sell the low-fat junk that leads to disastrous diets, obesity, and heart problems — followed by prescriptions for those medications. <\/p>\n

It all comes full circle — and the circle forms around the AHA. <\/p>\n

The clowns who run the AHA have been filling the airwaves and news columns with variations on this same bad advice for generations now. They’ve been so wrong for so long that they no longer have a choice — turning around now would cause the entire organization to crumble. <\/p>\n

I say let it. <\/p>\n

Enough’s enough — if they were right, we should be the healthiest nation on earth by now. Everywhere you turn you see hamsters running on treadmills and supermarkets full of low-fat foods. <\/p>\n

Are we any better off? HECK NO! <\/p>\n

There’s one way to get healthy and stay healthy, and it’s far simpler than any "Simple 7." Eat a diet rich in animal fats and proteins. Forget lean meats — you want the fatty cuts that would make an AHA board member faint. <\/p>\n

Don’t be afraid to fry ’em, either — just use healthy fats and oils: pig fat or real butter are fine, but you can also use peanut, coconut or palm oil. Don’t worry about your cholesterol levels, don’t be afraid to smoke a good cigar and — whatever you do — don’t exercise. <\/p>\n

That’s just about the worst thing you could do to you body, especially your heart. But what would the American Heart Association know about that? <\/p>\n
