Ralph - cooking (heat) with most delicate oils such as hemp destroy the important nutrients.... lots of verification for that fact in a Google search. Perhaps the longevity comes from eating mostly vegetables...maybe some fish but little in the way of other meat for protein? ... it's well known that vegetarians enjoy longevity. And of course, maybe your observation is correct... being carby Jackie - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Alex - I agree it's difficult to sort out fact from fiction when it comes to supplements, health concerns... or even drugs for that matter. I've found over the years of research beyond was was taught in college on nutrition, that there are some experts in the field of 'natural health' that we can rely upon and some - not so much. Several of those physicians branching out inby Jackie - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Alex - this post belongs in the general health forum, but I'll respond briefly here and Hans can move the thread. When it comes to validating research findings, it's always important to learn who funded the study. As pointed out in other posts, there is a large amount of bias in result reporting as well as the 'ghost-writing factor' to consider. Of major consideration whenby Jackie - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Sue - Your TSH indicates you are hypothyroid...in case you didn't know that. Anything over 2.0 is considered hypo. Your potassium is probably low since your sodium is at the high end of the range and if your AF persists, this can be part of the problem... also the hypothyroidism. Please see the current discussion in the main AF forum on the need to maintain a proper sodium to potassiby Jackie - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM

Todd - check out Tropical Traditions for coconut oil. I buy mine from there and a quart lasts an eternity. Coconut oil has always been known to be healthy. It's the uninformed who think otherwise. The idea is not to use frying or high heat cooking. It's the high heat effect on foods that cause the Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs) that cause health problems.

Great link to Dr. Rosedale, George. I thought he had disappeared although I haven't tried to find him online in a while. I'm so glad to have the link to the downloads. Thanks! Jackieby Jackie - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM
Todd - Remember that olive oil is high in Omega 9's, and while healthy, we don't need huge amounts of n9's. Olive oil is to be used cold. Cold-pressed, extra virgin is the best and it's not recommended to fry with it since it destroys the antioxidants. High heat temps of any oil on foods cause heart problems. If one must fry, then it should be very quick and use a fullby Jackie - GENERAL HEALTH FORUM

Liz - there is no substitute for intelligence when it comes to understanding what constitutes a healthy eating plan. It does take a certain amount of studying to understand what Paleo eating is all about and it should not be confused with one of the fad diets like Atkins that allows bacon or other meats treated with nitrates.

Murray - There can be nothing unhealthy about a Paleo eating style.... no grains, no dairy, no white potatoes, all whole food, healthy fat, no packaged foods, no chemicals, additives, the more raw, the better. The only problem I see is if someone misinterprets the protein portions to mean a diet heavy on meat and nothing else, which it definitely is not.

These are really great links, Erling. The video clips are well done and while I am so disgusted at what they reveal, very important viewing.

Lisa - Then depending on how high the fluoride level is, I'd not want to be soaking in heated water containing a high level of fluoride as it would be quickly absorbed. Additionally, I'd not want to be drinking that water either. Undoubtedly, it's common to have minor amounts of fluoride in well water.

Sue - the way to approach that is just give up packaged products which aren't typically healthy anyway... and most all of them are expensive for what they are.

Thank you, Erling, for your valuable (as usual) contributions. Of key issue here for afibbers is the CoQ10 depletion factor by statins and how that affects heart cell energy production and function. I often entertain a speculative thought that possibly the esclating increase in prevalence of atrial fibrillation is linked to the increase and persistence in writing statin prescriptions.
