I don't get it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Yeah, no. This isn't the 1950's. "The medical researchers found no association between intake of saturated fat and a greater risk of heart disease. To combat heart disease a diet rich in the anti-inflammatory compounds often found in extra virgin olive oil, vegetables, oily fish, and nuts, and drastically cutting down on the use of processed foods and sugar, is the key to heart health." That animal fat is bad for you is a myth. In 1900 there was almost no heart disease, and people ate bacon and sausage and steak and fried chicken and pork chops on a regular basis. What they didn't eat was much sugar, processed cereal, or any processed food for that matter. Look at the average shopping cart today and it's loaded to the top with sugary starchy processed foods made with processed grain and seed oils. Sure a bag of salty Doritos tastes great, with a frozen pizza for dinner. They should have a skull and crossbones on the packaging.  If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

In 1900 most people didn’t live long enough to develop heart disease and ca. The expected lifespan for someone born in 1900, was 47 years. Someone born in 1880 had a life expectancy of about 40 years at birth. |

Those numbers are totally unreliable because of the huge number of kids that died before the age of 5 of an infectious disease. The truth is, if you made it out of your teens, there were statistically just as many old people in 1900 or 1000 years ago as there is now. Look it up. Life expectancy rates are always given for newborns, not for 20 year olds. In 1900, the top 3 causes of death were infectious diseases— pneumonia and flu, tuberculosis, and gastrointestinal infections. By 1930 it was heart disease because so many of the infectious diseases were under control by then. The epidemic rise in heart disease is blamed on processed food, smoking, and stress. As more and more people moved from farm life into the cities, their lives dramatically changed for the worse. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

In medical school we were often given survival rates AFTER the first year of life to account for high infant mortality rates in certain populations. But your overall point has some validity. I prefer more pictures from you and less discussion...... |

Where did you pull that one out of? Adults live much longer today vs 1900. Life expectancy for a 20 year old in 1900 was 62 years vs 77 years in 2011. Life expectancy for a 30 year old in 1900 was 65 years vs 78 years in 2011. Life expectancy for a 40 year old in 1900 was 68 years vs 78 years in 2011. Life expectancy for a 60 year old in 1900 was 74 years vs 85 years in 2011. Fats, Cholesterol, and Chronic Diseases |

When I started practicing after residency (1989) it was shocking to see an octogenarian come to the OR. Now we don't blink an eye when a nonogenarian goes under the knife. |

My point was, there have always been old people. People confuse life expectancy with how long they themselves will live. There have always been 50 and 60 and 70 and 80 year olds. And before 1900, heart disease was almost unknown in them. It's an epidemic of the 20th century, when our smoking habits increased, stress went thru the roof and our diet became loaded with crap. People on farms ate a high fat diet of pork and beef and butter and lard and cream. And didn't die of heart attacks, even in old age. What got them was infectious disease. No vaccines, no antibiotics, no nothing. Everyone Was Wrong: Saturated Fat Can Be Good for You By a mile, the biggest enemy in our food is likely refined sugar. Even the American Heart Association agrees that sugar is a far bigger contributor to heart disease. https://greatist.com/health/saturated-fat-healthy#1 If you take a risk, you may lose.

Coated the outside with a thick mixture of 3 kinds of mustard, mayo, and olive oil Then coated that with crushed pork rinds. The result was an incredibly juicy and tender roast. Look how pink it is at 145 degrees. I think I almost teared up, it was so good.   If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
