Next time you hear someone say that all vitamins can be obtained from a good diet, know that person to be ignorant.” Dr John Cannell MD Vit D Council
 

Benefits of Multivitamins
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (Sept 22, 2010) published an article showing the association between multivitamin use and a reduced risk of heart attack in older women.  Who says vitamins are not important?  This up-to-date study had 2,262 women with a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and 31,671 women with no history of CVD who participated in the Swedish Mammography Cohort established 1987-1990. The participants’ questionnaires provided the Karolinska Institutet researchers with information concerning supplement use.

Over the 10 year follow-up period, those with a history of CVD taking a multinutrient had a 27% lower risk than those who didn’t use supplements, judging from heart attacks in the 2 groups. Those who used a multivitamin with other supplements had a 30% reduction in risk.  Great reasons to supplement!!

More on The Fatally-Flawed China Study
(this month’s quotes from Dr Mercola)
“Since this book is widely trusted and used to defend a no animal protein position I thought it was important to provide my views on why I believe this work has some fundamental flaws. Another nutritional physician who has taken a hard look at Dr. Campbell’s book, and the studies that form the basis of his conclusions, is Dr. Michael R. Eades, M.D. Dr. Eades has been in full-time practice of nutritional and metabolic medicine since 1986, and like myself, has treated tens of thousands of patients. Interestingly, Campbell, on the other hand, is not a practicing physician and has no real-world experience to support the veracity of his nutritional recommendations for the population at large.

Major Reasons Why the China Study is Fatally Flawed
The very title of the book is inaccurate. It is NOT a study but a comprehensive set of observations. While this approach can be valuable, it can never prove his assertion that animal protein should be avoided, as he never TESTED that theory on real live patients... The data from Dr. Campbell’s China study was first published in the tome Diet, Life-Style and Mortality in China. It contains several thousands of statistical correlations, which Campbell insists show that animal protein intake is convincingly associated with prevalence of cancer.  However, it’s important to realize two things:
1.   The China study was an observational study. Correlations deduced from an observational study do not – in fact, cannot - prove causation. As Dr. Eades points out, all you can really do with data from an observational study is to form a hypothesis, which must then be tested in randomized, controlled trials, to ferret out the truth about whether or not x actually causes y.
2.   In many cases, the data (presented in arduous detail in the book Diet, Life-Style and Mortality in China) do not show statistically significant correlations between animal protein consumption and disease such as cancer at all. On the contrary. It would seem that sugar and carbohydrates are correlated with cancer – not animal protein. In addition, the data indicate that fat is negatively correlated with cancer mortality, which again contradicts the claim that meat is harmful.

For more information, I highly recommend reading through Dr. Eade’s critique of The China Study.You can also review another critique of the China Study by Science Based medicine. It is particularly interesting because the reviewer was initially a strong supporter of the "study" until faced with the facts.

Don’t let anyone scare you to death about your cholesterol levels!  Cholesterol is good, unless you eat junk food often, which turns “good” cholesterol “bad” and causes problems.  And a bad diet cannot be rectified with drugs.  Lifestyle modification and a healthy, fad-free way of eating is always best.  Don’t forget to attend the Cholesterol Summer Health Breakfast on Tuesday 8^th February in Bishopscourt – where I’ll tell you how and what to test for, how to interpret your results, and what to do about them!

wealth in this life are people. Yes, we need money to live, and it’s always nice to have a little extra – but enrich yourself with precious relationships, enrich others by giving to those who don’t have – give your time, give your heart – and you will be building up treasures in a heavenly ‘bank account’.  But even if you are blessed to have riches in this life, realize that it is God alone who gives lavishly - and the amazing thing is that “… He adds no sorrow to it”.  What an amazing, loving, outrageously wonderful heavenly Father we have!  How can we not want to abandon ourselves to Him?
