- 1. How to create a secure password and how to keep it safe august 23, 2013 by ige ebima 1 comment (edit) In the digital era we live in, creating a strong password is essential. We need our password for more activities than ever before such as online shopping, socializing and banking. To get into our accounts we need our password. When someone gets hold of your personal login details, he or she gains access to a lot of sensitive data. Creating a secure password is not as difficult as many people think. On the one hand youll need to make sure your password is strong but also easy to remember. Lets explore how you can achieve this. How to create a secure password If a password is predictable it means it is weak. ABCD, 1234 and password are no good for that reason. Youre almost asking a hacker to access your account when you use a password like that. To make a secure data transfer, a password has to be good and youll have to use a larger variety of characters. The obvious downside of this is that it is more difficult to remember. The upside of things is that you make it a lot more difficult for a hacker to access your account. In other words: the best thing is to have a password with a large variety of characters that is also easy to remember. A good solution is to come up with a phrase. If you use every first character you can come up with great passwords. Here is an example: I really like watching football every Saturday night at 9:30. Irlwfesna930 Your password becomes stronger when you use both capital letters and normal letters. You could choose to capitalize all the nouns. The above password would look like this then:
2. IrlwFeSNa930 Using numbers and symbols will add a little to your password security too. An exclamation mark to show that you really like watching football every Saturday night at 9:30 would not hurt. How to keep it safe Once youve created your first password you need to be creative yet again. Having one strong password is great but as soon as a hacker gets hold of your one password the hacker will be able to open all the accounts you use. To prevent this from happening, having more than one password is an absolute necessity. Another thing youll need to be weary of is that you dont fill in your password when using someone elses WiFi in places such as libraries, schools and cafes. Keep in mind that the computer does not remember your login details and that the safest way to access the net is by using your own computer at home. Creating a secure and strong password is just one way of combating hacking.Do not forget to keep other information safe. What other methods do you use to generate your passwords? you can share it with us in the comment below.

Online Casino Games with America Bet
At America Bet we make a number of slot games available for our visitors to play. As well as providing a freeplay version, we also review the slot games to give you an idea of what they entail. Online Casino games offer a lot of value to players, but it's a good idea to understand them as much as possible before heading to a casino to play for real.
If you love gambling, and are connected to the internet, the chances are you'll have heard of online gambling. Long gone are the days when eager players had to drive to a casino, before then spending the evening grinding it out on a slot or table game – nowadays, people can simply log onto their favourite online casino, open up the game (or games) they want to play, and start playing. Never before has it been easier to experience the fun found when gambling.
Latest Slots
Slot Game Info All Microgaming
Of course, there are absolutely loads of online casinos out there, which can make it confusing when trying to find the best one for you. But that's where we come in. We'll give you all the information you need about the world's biggest and best online casinos, as well as info on loads of the games, so you'll be able to make an informed choice.
- A Brief History of Online Casinos
- Why Play at Online Casinos?
- What Games Are at Online Casinos?
Unbelievably, online casinos have been around since way back in 1994, as the first fully-functioning online gambling software was made in that year by Microgaming – a company that still has a major foothold in the gambling software industry. It wasn't until the late 1990s that online gambling really took off though, with the number of players increasing from just a few thousand in 1996 to around 8 million by 2001, Nowadays, the figure is far higher, with millions of people logging in to gamble online every day.
Over the years, online casinos have developed and grown, offering a much larger range of games and pastimes to players. Slots have become 3D; multiplayer games have proliferated; and casinos have added other features to their sites as well, such as poker and sports betting. While some countries, most notably the USA, now ban people from gambling online, the industry continues to flourish, and will undoubtedly continue expanding well into the future.
There are absolutely loads of reasons why playing at an online casino is great. Perhaps the biggest reason is the range of games though. A land-based casino might have a few table games, and a reasonable selection of slots, but some online casinos over more than 500 different slots alone, alongside numerous table games, most of which come with different variations. This means that every player will be able to find the perfect game for them – a game combining fun and the chance to win some really big prizes.
Speaking of prizes, they are often also bigger at online casinos. The reason for this is simple: online casinos have a much larger customer base than land-based casinos, so they can afford to offer more impressive jackpots. Some jackpots are even progressive, which means that they keep on rising as more people play them. The result is often a jackpot worth millions of pounds, and the world-record win is a whopping £13,209,300, won by Jon Heywood of the UK while playing the popular slot Mega Moolah.
That's not all of the reasons why playing at an online casino is a great idea though, as there are loads more advantages, including:
You can gamble when you want, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
Most online casinos offer stunning bonuses
Games at an online casino are quicker, as there's no waiting for other players
Online casinos are secure, protected by state-of-the-art technology
Online casinos can also often be accessed from a mobile device
Of course, you might also have your own reasons for playing at an online casino. Whatever their reason for playing though, most people agree that online casinos represent the very best way to gamble!
You'll find a massive range of different games at online casinos, however slots are the most commonly seen type of game. As already mentioned, some casinos offer 500+ different slots to players, and they come in all shapes and sizes, from simple, traditional slots, all the way through to 3D slots with loads of features and huge jackpots.
It would be a mistake to think that slots are the only reason to visit an online casino though, as they are also the best place to play all table games, from blackjack through to roulette, as well as games such as scratchcards and keno. More and more casinos are also offering live dealer games, which are the closest thing to playing at a casino without actually being there, featuring real dealers broadcast to your computer via webcam.
What to Look for at an Online Casino
When you're searching for a new online casino, there are a few different things you should keep an eye out for, however the most important ones are:
Bonuses. Does the site give you a good welcome bonus and, perhaps more importantly, will they keep giving you bonuses well into the future?
Security. Most well-known online casinos are incredibly secure, but it always pays to make sure they are regulated, and that they are robust in protecting your personal details.
Games. Have a look through the casino first and make sure they offer all of the games you like, plus make sure the prizes match up well with other casinos.
Mobile. Does the site have a specific mobile site, designed to use with any mobile device? Or will you simply have to access the desktop site through your device's browser?
Banking. It's really important to make sure that a site accepts your preferred method of banking. Luckily, most have a comprehensive set of depositing/withdrawing methods.

The Basics
There are many pieces to every application, including your GPA, standardized test score, personal statement, list of experiences, letters of recommendation, and biographical information.
Some health professions schools review applications holistically, while others rely on metrics to determine eligibility. The best way to prepare is to develop ALL of the pieces in an application, including yourself. Your personal attributes will play a big role in your success.
The best advice is to stay involved in the advising process. The Health Professions Advising office is here to support you on your journey, but we can only do so much. You must show up to learn about important topics and concepts, all designed for your future success.
Preparing Academically
Each health profession has its own unique set of prerequisites that every student must satisfy in order to be admitted to a school. The "Prerequisite Course List" button on the right will provide you with a list of UC Davis courses that are commonly used to fulfill these requirements. Use the Prerequisite Advising Sheets in the right column to identify required courses for various schools for your health profession.
Some things you should consider about prerequisite coursework:
Different majors require different series. Follow your major requirements.
Complete all of your prerequisite courses for a letter grade - DO NOT take any of them P/NP.
Most medical schools DO NOT accept AP credit to fulfill a prerequisite course for their program. The best course of action is to take the courses recommended below, even if the university has given you AP credit for those courses.
Pre-Health Course Options
Please see our Prerequisite Course List Options for the list of prerequisite subjects across many health professions. Keep in mind you do not have to take all of these classes just the ones required by your health profession and major.
Health Careers Information Chart
Please see our Information Chart for more information about GPA averages per profession. Keep in mind, these are averages, not requirements.
The Safe Zone
In HPA, we often refer to the "Safe Zone", which is a GPA above 3.0 (overall and science). A GPA of 3.0 would be barely meeting the minimum requirements for many programs. You cannot have too high of a GPA. If you are struggling to maintain a 3.0, please make an appointment with the Director of Health Professions Advising. Everyone is capable of earning above a 3.0. In almost every case, the lower grades are the result of time management, study techniques, test anxiety, poor reading comprehension, or another skill that can be developed. There are many resources on campus to assist you in achieving your goals.
Take two minutes to learn some quick tips from the Director of HPA, Joanne Snapp.
Being Proactive
Being proactive in your success means making decisions that lead to better outcomes before finding out that there is a problem.
For example, many students say, "I'll wait and see how I do on the mid-term before I decide whether I need tutoring."
Being proactive would mean going to tutoring, office hours, study groups BEFORE the mid-term to prevent the low grade.
Another example, many students say, "I don't have time to study 30 hours per week."
Being proactive would include keeping a paper planner, writing out all of the quarter's assignments at the start, breaking those assignments into manageable tasks, and assigning each task to a day and time, and following a schedule.

I can't believe it's time for a Friday garden update again. Please don't hate me for posting only outdoor photos this week. The only other alternative was to take you on a spring window washing adventure and that really sounds boring! But, the windows do look fantastic. Or at least they did until it rained all week. Let's hope the rain helps this garden to grow!
The spinach is almost ready to start picking. I might make myself a mini salad this weekend to promote its growth. The chard and peas are also doing very well. We planted the cucumbers this weekend and transplanted the brussels sprouts from indoor to outdoor. We have our fingers crossed that the rain this week didn't wipe them out.
We also added some begonias to the landscaping at the end of the driveway. I've never planted begonias before and only chose them since their label said they like no more than three hours of sun.
I'm hoping these are perfect for our shady driveway!
We also planted the pumpkin seeds but in a different location this year. We chose the back of our lot next to the wood pile so the pumpkins have room to spread out. Last year they kept trying to inch their way into our garden and made mowing the lawn a challenge.
It looks like the rain will finally end here in time for the weekend and we'll have a sunny Saturday. I can't wait to spend some more time outdoors. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Conservative Book Club Combats Liberal Bias by
Launching New Online Community
Interactive Portal Will Be Trusted Source for Conservative Readers
Despite the explosion of digital data on everything from politics to prose, conservatives still struggle to find a one-stop shop for reliable information on conservative books. To answer this call, the Conservative Book Club (www.conservativebookclub.com) is launching a brand new online community for conservative book lovers -- providing book reviews, news, and previews about hundreds of conservative-themed books and authors.
"We are incredibly excited to launch our new online community, and this reinvention of the Conservative Book Club for the digital age," said Christopher Malagisi, Editor of the Conservative Book Club. "Visitors will have access to hundreds of book reviews, an author directory, the latest bestsellers, interviews with their favorite authors, sneak previews of upcoming books, and the opportunity to post comments, rate books, and build their own custom bookshelf."
Conservatives have long bemoaned the unfair treatment of books by the New York Times and other liberal publications. Even Amazon.com doesn't have a "conservative" category, despite the fact that conservative-themed books sell by the millions. The new Conservative Book Club will provide a trusted resource for conservative readers and a welcome alternative to the liberal bias of most mainstream media coverage.
"For 50 years, the Conservative Book Club has been an oasis for free market-thinking, freedom-loving book enthusiasts looking for an alternative to the biased mainstream media," said former House Speaker and bestselling author Newt Gingrich. "It features the 'Who's Who' among our nation's most talented conservative writers and commentators."
Since it was established in 1964, the Conservative Book Club has served as "the guiding light" for millions of conservative book lovers, connecting its members to the best in conservative literature from leading authors such as William F. Buckley, Jr., Russell Kirk, Dinesh D'Souza, David Limbaugh and Ann Coulter.

Within a matter of weeks, participants placed on the vegan diet outlined by the prophet Daniel experienced improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol and insulin levels, insulin resistance, and C-reactive protein levels, a marker of inflammation within the body.
Flashback Friday: Biblical Daniel Fast Put to the Test
Doctor's Note
Also see the prequel video, Tightening the Bible Belt. Can the drop in biomarkers of inflammation actually translate into an improvement in inflammatory disease progression, though? See Dietary Treatment of Crohn's Disease and Diet & Rheumatoid Arthritis.
The decrease in inflammation is likely a combination of the anti-inflammatory effects of many plant foods (see Fighting Inflammation in a Nut Shell), and the pro-inflammatory effects of animal foods (see the three-video series ending with Dead Meat Bacteria Endotoxemia).
The improvement in antioxidant capacity is also not unexpected, given the different Antioxidant Power of Plant Foods Versus Animal Foods.
Since this video originally came out, I have published a lot more on inflammation and antioxidants. Here are a few of the popular ones:
- Preventing Crohn's Disease with Diet
- Anti-inflammatory Diet for Depression
- Which Spices Fight Inflammation?
- Food Antioxidants and Cancer
- Antioxidant Rich Foods with Every Meal
- Minimum "Recommended Daily Allowance" of Antioxidants
- Antioxidants in a Pinch

This is exactly the same as the Ethiopian fasting cuisine. They are the only society I have found that has a naturally vegan diet. (Most are vegetarian at best allowing dairy such as Indian food) And Ethiopians are an old school form of Orthodox Christianity, hence the diet.
Nice I will have to research this more as I am down over 100 pounds doing my own mix of all the stuff I read online
I forgot to say Super Jen says….
Good for you! That is awesome! I am just reading this because I need to lose a lot of weight and am hoping this will work for me.
Laughing at the compliance rate. Some of us didn't even know that we were doing a vegan diet at all. I don't even remember what I ate, but I did comply in my share of 21-day Daniel fasts. Plus, we would do fasts during Lent. If I had found the WFPB community a long time ago, I would have had food concepts of what to eat.
I have valued your sharing of the Ethiopian culture and cuisine. I have been eating salads since the end of March, but I have switched to recipes and Ethiopian is on my list and you are the one who inspired me.
Thanks for that, Jimbo. Ethiopian Orthodox Christians survived the Islamic sword by living quietly in isolated areas, and preserved a variety of ancient traditions for nearly two millenia. Their liturgy carries on much of what was found in the earliest Christian communities.
Their well-established vegan diet also renews interest in the world's oldest dietary traditions, as you point out. In my city, there is an Ethiopian restaurant I intend to visit, soon. At least, I won't to worry about modern derivations or additives.
My last visit to a Chinese restaurant brought up the concern about MSG. When I asked the kindly older waiter about whether his restaurant added MSG, he brightened, and said, "Yes!" So emphatically, it was clear he believed that was a good idea. Maybe something was lost in the translation, so I asked again, but in reverse terms– "Does your restaurant avoid using MSG?" Again, his face brightened, and he assured me, "Yes!"
The whole MSG scare thing was aapparently a miney-making scam by a notorious quack.about 25 years ago.
'Since then, we've learned that MSG was unfairly maligned. It doesn't cause cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. It has not been shown to cause headaches, according to a meta review of MSG studies done in 2016 for the journal Headache Pain. The Food and Drug Administration noted that while there is evidence that consuming 3 grams of MSG at a time without food may cause mild, short-lived adverse symptoms, this is unlikely given that most servings are around .5 grams — and, of course, the MSG in question is always served with food.'

No wonder the waiter was smiling/ when you asked about MSG.
Mr. Fumblefingers,
Though MSG — mono sodium glutamate — does contain sodium, so if a person is on a low sodium diet, then that person would want to avoid MSG for that reason.
Maybe a better question to ask at a Chinese restaurant — or any restaurant, for that matter — is: does your restaurant use salt? To which the answer is of course, yes. Does it avoid using salt? Probably not. And "low salt" options can still be high in absolute amounts of salt.
Interesting, Monkey Face. No need to avoid Chinese restaurants anymore, huh?
(Just checking in….the whole month of August has been one "Don't Ask" month for me!.)
No Monkety Face please. A chimpanzee is not a monkey, it is an ape. Humans are apes too. Call me Ape Face if you will – not Monkey Face. That makes me sound like a character from a Cary Grant film.
True that. Chimpanzees are much cuter than monkeys. How 'bout just "Ape Man"?
Nah…."Fumbles" is best.
Most Orthodox Christians follow a Vegan Diet while Fasting, which they do for nearly half of the year. However, it is done one day on and one day off generally. On some days, steamed fish is allowed and fish can be oil-sauteed or fried on select days. But outside of those exceptions, the Orthodox Christian Fasting Diet is practically WFPB. Coliva, a food eaten in church to remember those who have died, is made of boiled wholegrain berries like Barley and Wheat with sugar, biscuits and fruit. It is very nice and is vegan.
What about the new studies thay claim that vegans have a 22% increased risk for stroke ?
The increased stroke rate for Vegans & Vegetarians is true (10 fewer CHD but 3 additional strokes). Dr. Fuhrman has been warning about it for a while now. Eat too much salt and your risk of hemorrhagic stroke increases. Excessive added salt causes micro vascular hemorrhaging. My solution was to bring your cholestol up to 150 (so it not too high to cause a heart attack or too low to increase hemorrhagic stroke risk) and reduce salt intake.
Intervention studies have found no increased rate of adverse events like stroke, where cholesterol has been lowered to very low levels by drugs.
The possibility therefpre remains that observational studies reporting an association between stroke risk and low cholesterol may be confusing cause and effect.
We know that cardiovascular events like heart attacks and angina cause cholesterol to decline.and that various disease and infections also cause cholesterol to decline. Why not haemorrhagic stroke?
'The "key point" is expressed by the authors themselves, she pointed out: "individuals with very low LDL-C levels may be less healthy than those with higher LDL-C levels, making them more vulnerable to brain bleeds."
The findings therefore "do not change my practice at all, since I remain skeptical about the residual confounding from a single lipid measurement in an epidemiology study," she said.'
According to Dr. Fuhrman, the process of atherosclerosis whereby the plaque builds insides the arteries provides kind of a buffer whereby the salt can't damage the arteries. My idea was not not only to obviously lower salt intake, but also increase chocolate and coconut milk intake. The saturated fat tells the liver to produce cholesterol. The trick is to get the total cholesterol around 150 (not too high or low). Mine is 155.
I was looking things up yesterday and, yes, lowering salt is important.
Not smoking, not drinking alcohol and not having diabetes are things that help tremendously. (Did the English vegans drink alcohol?)
Eating enough vegetables and fruit lowers the risk – particularly foods with lycopene and folate
Eating foods with potassium and magnesium lowers the risk
Eating soy lowers the risk
Eating chocolate lowers the risk
Getting enough Omega 3 lowers the risk
Supplementing B12 and keeping Homocysteine low lowers the risk
Getting enough Vitamin D lowers the risk
Calcium supplements increase the risk.
Oops, I forgot
Eating fiber decreases the risk
Eating Vitamin C decreases the risk
Keeping your blood pressure low decreases the risk
The Adventists were not having the same risks as the study in England and they mentioned that the Adventists ate way more fiber and Vitamin C. I will add that they lived in a place, which got more sunshine. They were also spiritually and health motivated, rather than protect the animals motivated.
Intervention trials suggest that the lower the better.
Associational studies finding low cholesterol associated wih high mortality and disease are almost explained by the fact disease and traima cause cholesterol to dcline.
When the body fights infections it creates new killer cells. These have to be built using cholesterol When the body attempts to repair tissue damage, it creates new tissue (even if it is only scar tissue). This new tissue is constructed from new cells which in turn are constructed using cholesterol. Dragging free cholesterol from the blood stream is a quick and easy way for the body to construct all these new cells. That's why injuries and disease states are associated with low cholesterol
If cholesterol lowering by drugs does not cause excess stroke risk, why should we think that simple associations found in observation studies demonstrate that low cholesterol causes haemorrhagic stroke when haemoorhagic problems might well cause low cholesterol?
almost always explicable by the fact disease and trauma cause cholesterol to decline.
Yeah, it's fascinating how the media spins these things.
Vegans and vegetarians had a significantly lower rate of total cardiovascular events (7 fewer per thousand people) compared to meat eaters
Yet the media chooses to focus on the 3 extra cases of stroke and largely ignores the 10 fewer heart disease cases, thereby giving a completely contrary impression of what the study's overall findings were.
Tom, I disagree with you. The studies that I read clearly indicated that since strokes were a more frequent occurrence that heart attacks the experts felt that the vegan and vegetarian diets that reduced the risk of heart attacks were still optimal
There was no spin
Sorry that should have read that strokes were a more infrequent occurrence
I agree with Tom that this is being presented from the stroke risk side, and when they do the positive health benefits such as decreased heart attack risk, they say that could be caused by other lifestyle things than dietary benefit.
They announce that they want to be careful to not attribute the heart benefits to vegan but they are not equally as careful to look for the lifestyle factors for stroke, such as alcohol, smoking, stress, etc.
The title could have been:
Vegans have lower heart attack risk, but increased stroke risk
Versus just the stroke risk.
But it was pointed out in Mic's video that technically, the vegans had fewer strokes, but they had to keep adjusting for things because it is hard when one group has lower BMI and lower blood pressure, etc.
Somehow the fact that vegans and vegetarians have lower stroke risk gets lost in research translation.
Yes I guess you would've had to get to the end of the articles that I read to see what the conclusion was, which is that the vegan and vegetarian approach is still very worthy since it reduces the possibility of heart issues.
I am not sure how to evaluate science when the vegans technically had fewer strokes to begin with.
Is there a level where adjusting ends up making the data misleading?
Could we take the 600-pound SAD diet people and compare them to the vegans and have to adjust so much that it would be less about reality and more about trying to compare two things which are too far apart.
I guess I don't disagree with you in that way. It being worthy is the subheading. It being dangerous is the heading and that is what the world learned and most of them won't analyze it.
The fact that vegans have fewer strokes and they only have more because they had to adjust so much is something I don't understand how to deal with yet.
I go back to the SAD versus vegan concept. They just have to find 600-pound vegans with high blood pressure, but they can't, so they have to be fair and adjust away. But somehow they are adjusting the benefits of going vegan away at the same time.
It is over my head that the results could switch from vegans have fewer strokes to vegans have more strokes.
Did they intentionally choose vegetarians who were high in dairy and high in sodium and low in fiber and low in fruit and vegetable intake in the first place?
Is that how they adjusted to make sure it was all about the meat?
In other studies, heart problems and stroke are generally highly correlated with the same risk factors and they always say that there are more ischemic strokes and yet they are saying that the vegans have more strokes.
Anyway, since the vegetarian group was high dairy, that part is one that the dairy community maybe should be having to deal with the competing logic, not the WFPB community.
I go back to Brenda Davis (I think it was Brenda Davis) talking about a researcher who submitted an article, which was rejected because it wasn't juicy enough and the person took it back and re-wrote it for the opposite conclusions based on a sleight of hand and, then, the journal gladly published it.
I wonder why this information wasn't framed that "vegetarians who eat high fat and low fiber and high sodium have higher risk of stroke"
or adding dairy and fat and salt changes the rate of stroke away from the standard correlation between heart attack and stroke.
I feel like this process of needing to be juicy in science and nutrition because the press is more interested in saying something dramatic is so ridiculous.
Sorry but I can't quite follow your argument'
Yes there may be higher rates of non fatal strokes than non fatal heart attacks but so what? More people die of heart disease than strokes
The fact is that there were 7 fewer cases overall per thousand in so-called vegans and vegetarians.
The spin I was referring to was simply the headline used by the BBC …. "Vegans and vegetarians may have higher stroke risk"
In other words, a study that found that "vegan" and "vegetarian" diets were protective overall was presented in the headline as a study that suggested that "vegan" and "vegetarian" diets delivered higher risk.
These "new studies" were on mostly vegetarians, not vegans and suffer from several problems that in my opinion invalidate their conclusion. See this in-depth response for details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFAOdAmGoho
Thanks, Johann!
I love Mic and I had been researching it all on my own and hadn't watched his video yet.
Just watching it, I started laughing looking at the data.
The fact that the vegetarian group didn't have much difference in cholesterol, fat, fiber, and sodium as the meat-eaters, it is surprising that the health numbers for the vegetarian group were as good as they were.
I looked at fruit and vegetables and the fish eaters ate more fruit than the vegetarians.
The whole concept that the vegans had lower stroke risk, but that they had to keep adjusting the data to even out the risk factors makes me laugh.
The overuse of "adjusted for" already interests me as a topic.
It's a complicated and pretty technical subject but overadjustment is certainly a potential risk.
I may be being cynical but there is possibility that some researchers may deliberately overadjust data to produce a result that is more congenial either to them or the study's sponsors. For example, in studying saturated fat consumption and heart disease, you might deliberately control for BMI or blood LDL cholesterol levels to try to bias the data to a null result.
' Rothman and Greenland6 discuss overadjustment in the context of intermediate variables: "Intermediate variables, if controlled in an analysis, would usually bias results towards the null.…. Such control of an intermediate may be viewed as a form of overadjustment."
Underadjustment may also be a risk. That;s why there are now specialist epidemiologists and biostatisticians who specialise in these types of questions.
I believe it was a saturated fat study where the researchers wrote a journal article against eating it and then, had it rejected and wrote a pro-saturated fat article and that is the one the journal liked and that is the one the press liked. I do believe it was Brenda Davis who spoke about it.
To me, that means you could just choose which direction the press would like better and just skew away.
Great link!
I am not casting any aspersions but isn't Mic the vegan just a blogger?
Mic the Vegan creates evidence-based YouTube videos about veganism and a whole-foods, plant-based lifestyle. Just like Dr. Greger's excellent NutritionFacts.org site, Mic always cites verifiable evidence, usually in the form of peer-reviewed research articles and studies, in support of plant-based nutrition. I find Mic's channel a valuable resource.
Appreciate the responses
Mike is now on my radar
He is a student, who is going toward a degree.
The studies author also states the following – "nutritional deficiencies are common among those who don't eat meat, like low levels of vitamin B-12, vitamin D, amino acids and fatty acids – could put them (non meat eaters) at risk, states Dr. Tong
Yes, Greg, those are things which non-meat-eaters sometimes don't supplement.
I'd like to see the evidence for Dr Tong's statement about nutritional deficiencies being common.
Talking about common nutritional deficiencies, are you aware of this below?
'Just 1 in 10 adults meet the federal fruit or vegetable recommendations, according to a new study …………… "This report highlights that very few Americans eat the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables every day, putting them at risk for chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease," said Seung Hee Lee Kwan, Ph.D., of CDC's Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity, lead author of the study. "As a result, we're missing out on the essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that fruits and vegetables provide."
Of course it is worth remembering that Dr Greger also has long been warning us of the problems with poorly planned 'vegan' and 'vegetarian' diets which seem to deliver mortality rates that are no different to people eating meat based diets
That's why he urges us to adopt whole food plant based diets not any old 'vegan' or 'vegetarian' diet.
it was debunked
It was debunked, but there are things like vegans can get high in Homocysteine if they don't supplement B12 and eat their vegetables, for instance, or they can not get their Omega 3's, and their risks do go up.
It just is that the data was analyzed as if being vegan is a stronger risk for stroke and that doesn't make sense because the risk for heart attack and stroke usually correlate.
IGF-1 is a legitimate protection for hemorrhagic stroke, from what I saw, so being low in it is something to consider. Eating soy would be something which lowers risk and possibly that keeps IGF-1 from getting too low? I am not a scientist. I just knew to look up soy because that is a way IGF-1 gets raised. We don't want it high because that increases the risk of cancer, but maybe we don't want it too low either and that deserves a discussion within the community, I think.
I don't want to see us debunk it all the way out of the discussion zone. The vegans are more prone to stroke sounds ridiculous to me, but vegans who don't eat vegetables and who don't eat fiber and who don't eat soy and who don't get sunlight and who are low in Vitamin C and Magnesium and Potassium and Folate and Lycopene really could possibly be at greater risk.
It is just hard to tell what is real when you are dating a magician.
I just hate that they handled the data in a way that is anti-vegetarian and vegan.
I do not like it when studies are reactionary to the Whole Food Plant-Based movement.
Yesterday, I was reading the prediction that a full quarter of Great Britain may go vegan by 2025 and I feel like that article was in response to that movement.
What I will say is that if there are any magicians out there who know how the adjusting every single thing to get any outcome you want to write any type of juicy journal article, so that everybody can make money analyzing it, could you tell me, did it prove that high dairy causes an increased risk for a hemorrhagic stroke? Or maybe if vegetarians and vegans eat as poorly as the rest of us, they have a greater stroke risk than we do?
I need Penn and Teller for this.
"Yesterday, I was reading the prediction that a full quarter of Great Britain may go vegan by 2025 '
Extrapolating data to make predictions is always fraught wuth difficulties. I've seen people extrapolate similar statistics to 'predict' that the entire population of the USA will be Elvis impersonators by 2050.
Just in Vegas.
That article went around in a big circle just to come back and tell you to eat more plant food. Just another insipid dramatic attention- seeking journos article to confuse people who watch "Survivor","America's Got Talent","General Hospital"etc… 'perceived health benefits'…do me favour…
I have a client who is observant Copt and they too are fasting so often that they end up being de facto vegetarian most of the year and often vegan beyond that.
I eat a whole-food, SOS-free vegan diet and discovered that the various Orthodox churches are a treasure trove of delicious recipes because when they come down the home stretch to Easter, they observe "The Great Lent" where they take the olive oil out of their already healthy and wonderfully spiced vegan Lenten dishes. I use them all the time, especially when I'm entertaining company and get rave reviews from the culinary sceptics among my friends
That makes me laugh.
I was doing the fasting, but never developed the treasure trove of delicious recipes.
Right now, I have decided to do 2 recipes per week and I will be looking up some of these cultures.
Ralph Rhineau, can you provide links to some sources for the 'treasure trove of delicious recipes' from the Orthodox churches?
When I look online for recipes, I keep finding oil and margerine in almost every Orthodox Christian 'great fast' or 'lenten' dish. Ralph, can you recommend a source for oil-free recipes or a way to substitute for oil in those dishes?
I, too, am interested in those recipes.
Ralph Rhineau, our church fasts a lot in one form or another for Lent, Advent, fridays, holy days etc, but I did fast with my copt friends for a few years. 210 days per year it was.. something like that. What was interesting to me was that was my first intro to 'no oil' rule in cooking. Fruits and veggies, but no oil/fat.
210 days per year. So close to just doing it.
There were years when I was part of a very vibrant prayer community when we would do a 21-day fast, followed by a 40-day fast, followed by the 40-day fast at Lent.
But I have never done a 210-day fast.
I did do a 3-day Esther fast where I passed out and hit my head on the concrete (happened to be the steps of the Supreme Court) and came to the wisdom that people who do not start off eating healthy to begin with maybe shouldn't be doing that type of fast.
Once again the wisdom of God prevails. It all started in Genesis 1:29:
Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.
Except for those who defied this mandate, humans were vegans until Genesis chapter 9.
Dr. Cobalt,
I love the simplicity of that verse.
I was meditating on that the other day. This way of eating fits like a lock and key with the purity of the scriptural way of eating.
There is a reason Christians eat like this during seasons of prayer and meditation. It feels nice to stay in that space and live in it and not wear it like a coat.
Really? A recent study in Nature makes clear, not only did processing and eating meat come naturally to humans, it's entirely possible that without an early diet that included generous amounts of animal protein, we wouldn't even have become human—at least not the modern, verbal, intelligent humans we are. According to Harvard University evolutionary biologists Katherine Zink and Daniel Lieberman, the authors of the Nature paper, proto-humans eating enough root food to stay alive would have had to go through up to 15 million "chewing cycles" a year. They found that it required from 39% to 46% less force to chew and swallow processed meat than processed root foods. A brain is a very nutritionally demanding organ, and if you want to grow a big one, eating meat will provide you far more calories with far less effort than a meatless menu will. This, in turn, may have led to other changes in the skull and neck, favoring a larger brain, better thermoregulation and more advanced speech organs. "Whatever selection pressures favored these shifts," the researchers wrote, "they would not have been possible without increased meat consumption". Saying no to meat today does not mean that your genes and your history don't continue to give it a loud and rousing yes.
Greg, The brain needs glucose, sugar, not found in meat. I saw a study last year that proposed that the human brain grew larger in order to find more fruit. The other primates subsisted on leaves and didn't need larger brains to obtain "harder to find" fruits. Also, as early humans moved out of the tropical areas they needed larger brains to find starchy foods which would provide the sugar the brain needs.
You seem to highly selective in the articles from Nature that you like to quote. You presumably didn't like this one?
According to the authors
"We view starch as a transitional food," Dominy adds, helping us get from fruit to meat but also important in its own right. What abundant, ubiquitous resource was out there in the environment? "Fruits just don't do it," Dominy says. "For one thing, they're seasonal. Meats are hard to get, and we didn't have tools or spears yet. So we think that the shift to eating corms, bulbs and tubers gave our ancestors enough sugar resources to develop a large brain."
In any case, it doesn't follow that foods we ate at some stage of our evolutionary history necessarily help us to live long healthy lives. Evolution doesn't work that way and many know that this is an argument that attempts to bamboozle people by using the appeal to nature fallacy.
The question is what does meat eating do to our health and how does it affect our mortality risk? The study quoted in that BBC articel showed that meat eaters had 7 more cases of cardiovascular disease per thousand people over 10 years compared to non meat eaters.
Even in people who eat lots of fruit and vegetables (FV), meat increase the risk of early death
'Conclusion: High intakes of red meat were associated with a higher risk of all-cause and CVD mortality. The increased risks were consistently observed in participants with low, medium, and high FV consumption'
if you choose to eat meat, that's your business Greg (however ghoulish many of us think it is) but attempting to persuade other people to adopt an unhealthy practice like that by using blatant logical fallacies is not an entirely honest thing to do. You should point out the health risks when you do so just like the pharmaceutical adverts on TV.
Sorry, but I maintain there isn't a shred of empirical proof supporting the putative evolution of humans from "proto" humans. Darwinists routinely forthtell this absurd dogma without ever adducing any real empirical proof. Why? Because there isn't any.
Think about what you wrote: The Nature authors, Zink and Lieberman, postulate that early humans had to chew softer comestibles in order to grow a bigger brain (something about a calorie to chew-count ratio). This in turn facilitated growth of the neck and skull, which in turn facilitated the development of speech organs… Wow.
I'm speechless.
I give glory to God the Creator. As Psalm 19 says: The heavens declare the glory of God; the firmament showeth his handiwork. What that means is that if you study the heavens and the earth with telescope and microscope, a reasonable person must conclude that these things reveal the stunning Design work of the Creator.
The Great God Crom says you have it all wrong, mortal. Humans were designed to eat dinosaurs but there was a delay in the human product delivery, and the dinosau product line was discontinued for other reasons, which is why there is so much argument about what humans should be eating now.
Praise be unto Crom.
From Wikipedia:
Crom is the chief god of the Cimmerian pantheon, and he lives within a great mountain, from where he sends forth doom or death. It's useless to call upon Crom, because he is a gloomy and savage god who despises the weak. However, Crom gives a man courage, free-will, and the strength to kill their enemies at birth.
The true Creator God fills all of heaven and earth (Jeremiah 23). He created all the virtues that humans venerate: compassion, love, forgiveness, kindness, peace, righteousness, justice, truth, gentleness, and patience. He gave these gifts to us when he made in his image.
People who live in a subsistence economy cannot afford anything except healthy food. ironic.
I have been suffering from ulcerative colitis, anexity and depression these all together, what is the treatment for these desease?
What should I do?
Thank you and wishing you health and happiness
faraz Ahmad
Faraz here is a video for colitis
He has a few videos for depression. An anti-inflammatory diet is important for it. Up your intake of vegetables.
As far as anxiety goes, I am going to add that if you are Whole Food Plant-Based vegan, make sure you supplement your B-12 and eat your plant-foods with Folate to have your Homocysteine improved. You can also try drinking 1 liter of silica water, such as Fiji Water every day for 12 weeks to get aluminum out of your brain.
I say those things out of experience. I had serious brain problems and used to have night terror. I have upped my intake of vegetables and I have made sure to get enough Magnesium and Folate from food sources and I have been supplementing B12 and I did drink Fiji water for 12 weeks and somewhere in that process the anxiety went away and after adding in the superfoods like turmeric, blueberries, broccoli sprouts, saffron, ginger, kale and pomegranate seeds, I even had a reversal of social anxiety. I got rid of the night terrors during the middle of drinking the Fiji water and I got rid of the social anxiety in the middle of adding in superfoods.
As far as prayer versus meditation, make sure that you allow your mind to have some silence. In Christianity, it would be called practicing the Presence. In modern world it is called practicing mindfulness – where you aren't thinking about the past or the future. I am not sure which religion you are and I am not meaning to guess Christian for you. I am a Christian and prayer can be either an active communicaton process or it can be more like what Mother Teresa used to say where they asked what she talked about with God in prayer all the time and she used to say, "Mostly, I just listen" and they asked what God said to her and she said, "Mostly, He just listens." I always loved that and have had many seasons of that type of prayer.
Meditation can be about mindfulness or it can be about thought-replacement.
There is a Christian leader who talked about getting rid of "stinking thinking" and thinking about things that are positive and productive and healthy instead. He used to talk about something he called UGB's, which was a short-hand for ungodly belief systems where we look down at ourselves or we look down at other people or get obsessed with someone else or whatever else injures our heart and mind.
I am not sure if that helps, but it is what I do.
Do we really need to do meditation daily because i pray daily and i keeps my focus to God.
I went back to look up the logic for the cholesterol again and it may be that there were some very, very low cholesterol males. I looked at a different study on saturated fats and it was inverse in Japanese males, but not in non-Japanese, and it was only inverse for the lowest quintile, which is the same for the cholesterol study.
There was a significant (p = 0.001) inverse association between serum cholesterol and the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage but not of subarachnoid hemorrhage. This inverse association was nonlinear, with a higher incidence rate only for men with serum cholesterol in the lowest quintile (less than 189 mg/dl).
Since the numbers of fats are so high, and the dairy intake is high, it won't be low cholesterol for most people.
But they might have a vegan population which is very, very low, similar to the Japanese.
I decided to post Dr. Fuhrman's video on it
Very low cholesterol is usually a consequence of disease states and injury.
However, the traditional Japanese diet is high in sodium whereas the Westernised diet eaten by many Japanese now is higher in fat but lower in sodium.
I've also seen it suggested that low cholesterol levels are markers for people eating the tradiional Japanese diet and higher cholesterol levels are markers for people eating a Westernised diet. Consequently, among Japanese, low cholesterol indicates that those people consume more sodium which is a known risk factor for stroke.
If the cholesterol association was truly causal, one would also expect there to a gradient of increasing risk with lower cholesterol. From what I can understand, the increased risk is limired to the lowest quintile.
However, I would also stress once again that people are simply assuming that an observed association between low cholesterol and stroke is evidence of causation. And that low cholesterol causes stroke (rather than cerebral cardiovascular disease causing low cholesterol). There is no hard evidence for either of these two assumptions, I believe. Yet people have come up with all sorts of imaginative reasons why they might be true. As has been pointed out before, multiple cholesterol lowering trials have failed to find any increased stroke risk ….. which should lead us to question the assumption that the association is causal
"Serum total cholesterol is a risk factor for CHD in Asian countries22,23). It is clearly shown in Asian cohort studies that serum total cholesterol level is positively related to CHD morbidity and mortality 22,23). However, serum total cholesterol is not a risk factor for total stroke17,24), although it was a weak risk factor for cerebral infarction22,25) and low cholesterol was rather a weak risk factor for cerebral hemorrhage24–27), especially in hypertensives24,25) based on observational cohort studies. On the other hand, a large individual based meta-analysis 28) showed that cholesterol lowering therapy with statins could prevent total stroke or ischemic stroke without increasing hemorrhagic stroke."
Thanks, Tom,
Yes, I am just reading studies and haven't been analyzing them deeply.
One place said that about 80% of their Hemorrhagic strokes were from hypertension.
The concept that the vegetarians and vegans had more hypertension than the other categories doesn't seem right, but they were eating a lot of cheese with a lot of sodium, so who knows?
Fish-eaters had fewer strokes, where people who ate meat, plus fish, had way more.
That goes back to the low EPA association maybe or something.
I know that I cannot solve it, but I feel like the studies like the antioxidants and eating leafy greens, fruit, whole grains, soy, cruciferous, flavonoids, Vitamin C-rich foods, Magnesium and Folate and Potassium-rich foods all are a fairly good start to understanding potential action steps.
I did find a study where displacing Omega 6 (usually with Omega 3) was the biggest factor in blood pressure decrease.
I looked up cruciferous and hemorrhagic stroke and it was there. The whole nrf2 thing.
Broccoli sprouts for the win.
So are leafy greens, fruit, and dehydration in one of the studies (people who had hemorrhagic strokes were much more likely to be dehydrated and much less likely to eat leafy greens and fruit.
Looking at the Japan studies, it shows that you want cholesterol and saturated fats and IGF-1 to be low, but there is a level where they can go too low.
I disagree. Associations are not proof of causation and are often confounded by uncontrolled third variables.
Okay, but it is inversely related only to the very lowest quintile and it was only in the male Japanese.
Dr Fuhrman put it all on the salt.
Obviously, most people need to worry about their levels being too high.
Even the Japanese women didn't have the same equation as the Japanese males.
Okay, so you are saying that they haven't put that part to the test yet.
The non-Japanese didn't have the inverse relationship.
They have been pointing to it as a Japanese males phenomenon.
I am just looking up studies and at the lowest quintiles IGF-1, saturated fat, and cholesterol are inversely associated and Only at the lowest quintile and some of those studies were only in males and particularly Japanese males (if genetics were involvedd)
If low cholesterol caused stroke, one would expect there to be a gradient – the lower the cholesterol, the greater the stroke risk. But apparently, that is not so. The association is only found in the lowest quintile. There is no gradient.
Also very low levels of cholesterol appear to be a consequence of disease (diagnosed or undiagnosed)
Thirdly, cholesterol lowering by statins and other drugs appears not to increase stroke risk.
All this suggests to me that there is a third variable at work here that causes both low cholesterol and increased stroke risk
japanese men used to be heavy drinkers and smokers – that could well explain it.
Yes Fumbles, I think you nailed it. My uncle, drinker, smoker, high bp, had a haemorrahgic stroke (and survived to tell the tale).
I saw this article on the national news a few days ago and would really like to see a video on the efficacy of the research
I am wondering if the studying was funded by a group and was slanted or if the research has validity.
This has been discussed at least 3 or 4 times in the posts above,
Please read those ciomments first.
Dr. Greger, could you please provide your opinion about this study, https://www.bmj.com/content/366/bmj.l4897 . Thank you.
Yep, that is the only study people care about this weekend.
Boy, I wish there was a special message from Dr. Greger option. It seems like for special cases, the concept of waiting months seems like it would be a long way away.
Anyway, I figured out what is confusing to me. Because they have vegetarians who are high dairy, they wouldn't be low in IGF-1 or Cholesterol or Fats of any kind, because the numbers given were not low fat at all. There might be a hidden group who is, but not the lacto-ovo vegetarians, who were most of that category.
I found a few other topics, which I am trying to understand. Amyloid plaques would be a risk factor. Something to do with Astrocytes would be a risk factor. Low VEGF is a risk factor for dying from it.
I learned that Casein disrupts the blood-brain barrier and that soy doesn't, so after a serve stroke, milk intake might make things worse.
Laughing, soy was part of the tryptophan thing, which I still don't understand yet.
The whole amyloid thing, they know that blocking the enzyme BAC1 helps and there are flavonoids, which help with that.
Yes, I am a million miles over my scientific understanding and grabbing for an oxygen mask.
I did see a stat from Mass General where almost 1/4 of their patients who have Hemorrhagic strokes are on Warfarin.
England is big at prescribing it, but would the lacto-ovo vegetarians be the ones on it?
I was reading that women have more strokes than males and I found this from Sweden.
WebMD had an article that a study followed two groups of women, one group had already had heart disease or a stroke and one hadn't.
Women without a history of heart disease or stroke who ate diets with a lot of antioxidants were 17% less likely to have any type of stroke, and those results held even after researchers took into account exercise, smoking, and other behaviors that could affect stroke risk.
With the women who already had a history of heart disease or stroke, those who ate and drank the most antioxidant-rich foods and drinks were 45% less likely to have a hemorrhagic stroke than women who ate the least.
Since it directly related to hemorrhagic stroke, I felt it was a powerful one.
Now I just turned to another article and it said that males were more likely to have a stroke than females.
I throw my hands up and know that researching on the internet is not a good thing, but it is free.
By and large, men drink more than women
'THURSDAY, Jan. 29, 2015 (HealthDay News) — Too much alcohol in middle age can increase your stroke risk as much as high blood pressure or diabetes, a new study suggests.
People who average more than two drinks a day have a 34 percent higher risk of stroke compared to those whose daily average amounts to less than half a drink, according to findings published Jan. 29 in the journal Stroke.
Researchers also found that people who drink heavily in their 50s and 60s tend to suffer strokes earlier in life than light drinkers or non-imbibers.
"Our study showed that drinking more than two drinks per day can shorten time to stroke by about five years," said lead author Pavla Kadlecova, a statistician at St. Anne's University Hospital International Clinical Research Center in the Czech Republic.'
Well, eggs are a risk factor (since the biggest group in the vegetarian group was lacto-ovo)
There was another study where those who consumed the most eggs had a 41 percent increased risk for hemorrhagic stroke.
Dr. Barnard covered that one and he talked about the study at hand.
Okay, so, now, what did Japan do to lower their hemorrhagic stroke risk by 85% or something like that?
They changed their diets.
They lowered their hypertension.
They involved the communities for screening and health support for elderly people.
So, can the vegetarian and vegan community in England have a radical transition?
Maybe start with screening for blood pressure and lab testing for Homocysteine and B12.
Maybe education about the risk factors like eggs and salt and fats?
Seems like that is a more productive use of discussion.
I went back and watched the infamous Shocking Vegan Study Dr. Greger video again and tried to look up what oils they use in cooking in the UK and
1/3 use Sunflower oil
7% use Coconut oil
Vegetable (soy, Mazzola corn oil), Rapeseed, and Olive oil are used by 4 out of 10 of the population (I don't know why they grouped all of those into 1 statistic, and it is confusing because they had said that, for the first time, almost half of the people use Olive oil in 2005 and now, it appears to be less than half, and Rapeseed and Coconut oil are the ones going up.)
I still haven't drawn lines to see which ones do the whole Arachidonic Acid thing, which brought down the risk factors by 75% in that study, but posting the oils is the most I can do. I am not a math person, except for tutoring. Actually doing math is what I don't know how to do and I don't know why.
Okay, so I just had the thought…
Back then, the year of the shocking vegetarian and vegan study, the death rates for heart disease and just about everything was equal between meat eaters and vegans, but now a whole bunch of vegans stopped using oil and even though most still probably do, the vegans have pulled way ahead.
There is still room for improvement though, but it is already so much better.
Now they just have to lower their hypertension and get off the eggs and salt and continue to move away from oil, etc.
Dr Greger,
You have been through this situation, but a worse version, so I nominate you to reach out to leadership in England an encourage them with how fabulous their study results are.
I have evaluated it and it is wisdom to not debunk it.
It is wisdom to acknowledge that vegans maybe didn't go off oil because they aren't getting the right percentage of improvement over the meat eaters.
Probably aren't doing what it takes to improve their Homocysteine either.
If it is close enough that the vegans didn't trounce them by a much higher percentage that means it is more important to acknowledge the work left to do.
I guess I see it that not long ago there was no mortality advantage, even though the vegans had low cholesterol, low BMI, low Diabetes, etc.
Which is more likely, that the high fat, high sodium, high likelihood of using oil and low in B12 and D lacto-ovo vegetarians are doing the same thing as that old study or is it more likely that the researchers adjusted too much?
They were high fat and high sodium and low B12, isn't that by definition similar to the old study?
The current movement away from B12, D and Omega 3 supplementation is something I wonder about.
It look at the fish eater category and they have such an advantage here that i can't predict if the next phase of this study might be worse and I will wonder if it is coconut oil or not supplementing Omega 3
Do the Adventist vegan women die of hemorrhagic stroke?
To me, the Adventist women are proof that vegans can trounce meat eaters and can have longevity, but is it the estrogen or the Omega 6/3 ratio or the B12 that kept them from being the best?
I know that all those groups of Adventist's were healthy, but I would rather Brenda did the same process you did for that old study.
Are the women dying of Breast cancer, Alzheimer's, hemorrhagic stroke or stop eating after hip fractures?
If the English study is about women dying of hemorrhagic stroke, then we are being ripped off by the science community if we try to just brush women's vulnerabilities under the rug.
The vegan women getting breast cancer more often because they choose to not have children more often is another option. Do those same women who choose to not have children, within the Adventist community get Alzheimer's.
How about the Nuns? Can their study help solve whether this is an estrogen problem or not wanting to get fat eating nuts or not having children? The nuns seem like a good candidate for not having had children.
Has the defensiveness about being "vegan is better" caused people to want to not look at the woman side of the issues?
Don't get me wrong, I agree with Brenda Davis, if the fish-eating Adventist women were eating the exact same diet, except for fish once per week, then it can be just that the vegan women didn't have kids or didn't get married as often or something, since Japan already showed that living situations particularly when women were older changed the rate of hemorrhagic stroke. Are the vegan women more independent, for instance?
It is just that we will never find out unless women start pestering someone like Dr. Greger who has moderators who toss notes.
Okay, if the vegan women didn't have children, they wouldn't have children and grandchildren helping take care of them.
Is that why the Japanese women whose living situation changes have hemorrhagic strokes?
Are they more traditional in that the woman is doing caretaking in the household, is that why when a person comes in after that it helps the males not have ischemic strokes, but the women have even more hemorrhagic strokes because they have more people to take care of? Is it that they lose something financially or have more stress with taxes and cars and businesses or something else, is it just plain stress? Or lack of caretakers?
I say those things because I read an article about elderly people in England who didn't even hear one human voice per week. Zero human interactions. No kids calling and asking if they can do something? No grandkids visiting and saying, "Maybe you ought to talk to a doctor about that headache?" No husband driving them to the doctor?
Okay, I found a way to decide between social changes and cholesterol – because in Japan, it said that it was the males only where it correlated between cholesterol and the hemorrhagic stroke and most of the hemorrhagic strokes went away by fixing blood pressure problems.
Switch to the Japanese women having more hemorrhagic stroke after their husbands died.
Women, not males with low cholesterol.
Did they stop eating or something or were the women hemorrhagic strokes related to something like cortisol or depression rather than cholesterol?
Again, is it more of a woman issue somehow in England? Do the vegans in England run as slim and low in cholesterol as the lowest quintile of vegans in Japan? Could the women vegans in England run more slim and low in cholesterol than the Japanese women, who didn't have theirs linked to low cholesterol?
Or is it males in England, too?
And, do they have other health issues, which lowered their cholesterol in the first place?
Are the vegans from either Japan or England more fruitarians, junk food vegans or whole food plant-based
I think one thing that I am confused about is that in my mind the study with the hemorrhagic stroke is the same study where there used to be no benefits for vegans or vegetarians at all?
Am I just confused?
If that is the truth, why not more of a vegans have improved article?
I am also trying to figure out which group had the increases in Alzheimer's.
I tried to find the WHO chart which Dr Greger used back in his UK talk.
Ischemic stroke has decreased dramatically but Alzheimer's used to not be in the top 10, but now it is through the roof. Where's the vegans have twice the rate of Alzheimer's sentence? Is it less than twice now or does the rate of Alzheimer's going up mean they are 3 times more likely to get it?
All you mentioned about stroke was potassium and some studies say it doesn't help hemorrhagic and others say it does help.
Of course, if, instead of a biblical Daniel Fast, they had called it a "strict vegan diet," they would probably not have gotten a compliance rate of 98.7%, especially in Tennessee.
Why "especially in Tennessee"? This comes across to me as a gratuitous and inappropriate insult.
I am not sure if it is funny or if you are right.
Are there a lot of vegans in Tennessee or are they known for hunting or something?
Biblically, are there churches anti-vegan? Some Christians are anti-vegan and that is based on one verse. As a Christian I balance that one verse with the whole Bible and don't see eating animals as Gods design. But I watched God's Not Dead and there was one pro-gun anti-vegan character and those Christians are not where I am.
Either way, this had to be made before the Tennessee Titans went WFPB.
the doctor is from a different tribe than most Tennesseans.
After getting incredibly high cholesterol results and wanting to avoid being a statin user for life, I asked one physician if there was anything I could do with regards to diet. My LDL was at 200 (it's half that now). I was not overweight; exercised very regularly; ate a 'mostly' plant based diet; and when I ate meat or fish, it was always grass fed beef, organic chicken or wild fish. He introduced me to "How Not to Die." My cardiologist recommended that I still used statins, because of the very high cholesterol levels. I listened to the HNTD audio book twice, and cut way down on my consumption of chicken and eggs, which were regular elements of my diet (now I'll eat them maybe once a month). While I'd say I'm 90% vegan now, I'm finding it hard to give up consumption of meat and fish approx once a week. So the question is, if one is 90% plant based, is that life changing, or do you really have to be in 100%? We are also a wine drinking household. Thanks for your reply.
Each change you make will have value of its own.
It is mostly that you have to choose your own level of risk for yourself.
Dr Ornish is who I would point you to.
He said something like that people who made big changes got big results and people who made small changes got small results.
Dear Dr. Greger and NutritionFacts.org,
Thank you for another great video. I have a suggestion for an upcoming topic: "Alopecia".
Would you share your thoughts and comments on Alopcia, Plant-based diets and nutrition and general.
Given the fact that so many people around the globe suffer from this condition, it might be worth considering.
Thank you for your great work.
I was wondering if you could post the foods that was eating doing 21 day Daniel diet fast. Thank you

From Tipperary GAA Scene
The Annual Convention of Munster Council will take place on Friday night next March 5th in Listowel. We wish former Chairman of Tipperary County Board and current Central Council Representative, John Costigan of JK Brackens every success in his quest to become Vice Chairman of the Council. The other contestant for this position is former Chairman of Clare County Board, Robert Frost. Michael Power (outgoing) of Newcastle will be returned as Treasurer and we wish him all the best for the coming year. John Ryan (Holycross-Ballycahill) will retire as a Tipperary delegate to Munster Council having completed a 5 year term. John has made a great contribution to the council particularly in relation to grounds development, an area in which has demonstrated expertise for many years in Tipperary and beyond. We thank John for representing the county with such distinction and look forward to him continuing to contribute to the GAA in Tipperary in other ways. He will be replaced by PJ Maher of Boherlahan Dualla who was elected at the Tipperary County Convention in December 09. Donal Shanahan (Toomevara) will continue as the other Tipperary delegate to the Council. Jimmy O'Gorman (Waterford) will retire as Chairman at the Convention having completed his 3 year term. The GAA 125 celebrations last year were among the highlights of Jimmy's term and we congratulate him on a successful 3 years carried out at all times in a friendly and courteous manner. He will be succeeded by Sean Walsh of Kerry to whom we wish every success for his term.

I'm glad I was invited in an event where learning, fun and excitement was filled my afternoon spend with other Mommy Bloggers. Thanks to Mommy Lani for extending the invites. It was held at the Floosom Café and Kitchen in San Juan City.
During the event, there's a cooking demo by Chef Jam Melchor who shares his recipe of Caldereta, Soup and Barbecue using Tough Mama Home Kitchen Appliances. While the Bento Mamas shares their tips and tricks in preparing our kids meal for school by making bento meals.
There are some games like guessing the dish and complete the puzzle. Of course, raffle is one of the most awaiting moment where Tough Mama are giving away cool kitchen appliances.
Oh, there is also a display area wherein Tough Mama Home and Kitchen Appliances showcases their products. I love the Multi-functional Cooker that Chef Jam used during the demo. It's actually 8-in-1 multi-cooker. I learned that it could be a Griller, Hot pot, Roaster, you can even use it for saute, shallow frying, stir frying, steamer and slow cooker. Fantastic right! I'm actually planning to buy it when I heard the price that it's just for Php3, 999 only.

The annual Miss America beauty pageant scholarship program has a tech entry this year, Microsoft developer Allison Farris.
Ms Farris, who holds both bachelor's and master's degrees in Management Information Systems from the University of Alabama, has spent the last three years as a Redmond developer in the US capital working on government cloud systems.
"Her personal journey, with poise and strength through a male-dominated field, immediately connects her to the young girls who participate in Microsoft's DigiGirlz program nationally," read the canned statement from Miss America.
"She bridges the gap between right and left brain and opens up the field of technology for those who have never considered it, unveiling the opportunities within STEM fields by engaging in hands-on learning through interactive projects."

Sadly she won't be showing off her coding skills in the talent portion of the competition. Instead she's opted for a piano rendition of "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6" by Franz Liszt.
It's a lovely tune, and an understandable choice given her classical piano training. It's just a pity that fixing a code break that stuck a few thousand VMs into bootloop mode in under 15 minutes isn't as TV- or judge-friendly a skill to display.
The 97-year-old contest has been through some changes – this year it finally eliminated the swimsuit round – and anything that convinces more young women to get into tech is worth a shot. It does also serve a financial purpose, Ms Farris earned over $10,000 in college scholarships competing at a state level.
Then again, there are serious questions about the amount of money that actually goes to such education grants – which by some accounts make Enron look honest. Nevertheless we wish Ms Farris luck. ®

HUDSON, Fla. (WFLA) – The day started like it always does in Ms. Snyder's kindergarten classroom at Hudson Elementary School.
Students ate breakfast, then turned to their daily alphabet lesson. But for 5-year-old Kylie Cavero this day shaped up to be anything but normal.
Kylie hadn't seen her father, U.S. Air Force Sgt. Elsiban Cavero, in six months. He was deployed working on his latest assignment. He arrived back home in Pasco County early Friday morning and wanted to surprise his daughter at school.
So, just after 9:00 a.m., he entered the classroom unannounced.
"Hi, daddy," the little girl said, as her dad picked her up from the floor.
The two embraced. The little girl cried.
"I love you," she said.
This is Cavero's second tour with the Air Force. His first required him to spend time in Afghanistan to care for sick and injured children. He tells us it constantly reminded him of his daughter.
On this day, he was happy to be home to see her face-to-face.
"I didn't know what to expect," Cavero said. "She's my love. My everything."
Cavero tells News Channel 8 he's home to stay and will be based at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa.
Father and daughter plan to spend lunch together, then watch movies later in the day.

Doing Shakespeare in the Park has always been a dream. Everyone else says Hamlet, but I want to play Romeo.
I feel like after acting, the other half of why I love this business is the opportunity to work with and meet people who inspire you. That it pays my rent is a good bonus.
My favorite types of movies definitely aren't thrillers, but at the same time you can't deny the genius of Hitchcock's films.
When you're on the subway in New York, people literally could be 11-inches away from you, and you can't just stare at them.
I grew up doing martial arts, and I love martial arts movies and fight scenes. I'm pretty athletic, so I enjoy doing that stuff.

When City High finally get some time off from performing, they're heading to Orlando, Florida. Don't expect to see them taking in any Magic playoff games, though they'll be working on their second album.
The group's Claudette Ortiz said that she and her bandmates, Ryan Toby and Robby Pardlo, will be heading South next month to begin work on the follow-up to City High, which has sold over 837,000 copies to date, according to SoundScan.
"The first album, we did a lot of our own music," said Ortiz, who has taken up playing the guitar. "We worked on the album a whole year because the label wanted more pop songs. Most of the songs originally had a lot of hip-hop flavor. This second time around we may want our own style, but the label may want more pop joints anyway.
"I'm going to do a lot more writing," she added. "We're going to be playing a lot more instruments. We may have more [collaborations], different writers to get different flavors."
City High may have a new single out later this summer, said a spokesperson for the group's label, Interscope. No album release date has been set.

Growing Servant Leaders
Our Growing Points commitment is to achieve the leadership ambitions of people form excluded communities. We do this by recruiting well networked Guardians who "gift" their networks to our customers. And it works!
But I get asked about the leadership thing, why not just ambition? Well in many cases it's just that but I happen to believe that good leadership, inspires,encourages and develops healthy people and relationships.
Of course that's a big expectation but I find that our customers, coming as they do from the margins of our society do have a real understanding of the model of Servant Leadership that I think works and keeps on giving.
Robert Greenleaf first coined the term in his 1970 book "The Servant as Leader" and defined it in this way:"The servant-leader is servant first… It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. That person is sharply different from one who is leader first, perhaps because of the need to assuage an unusual power drive or to acquire material possessions…The leader-first and the servant-first are two extreme types. Between them there are shadings and blends that are part of the infinite variety of human nature.
"The difference manifests itself in the care taken by the servant-first to make sure that other people's highest priority needs are being served. The best test, and difficult to administer, is: Do those served grow as persons? Do they, while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants? And, what is the effect on the least privileged in society? Will they benefit or at least not be further deprived?" (My emphasis)
You can see why this might appeal to Growing Points, the emphasis on growth, improvement and avoiding further deprivation is powerful and of critical concern if the leader is to make a difference. It's not a model widely recognised (or applied) but when you see it you can feel it; I've become aware of it in Quaker meetings, some counselling and coaching situations and social care and healing organisations, not always and not exclusively but there enough to touch.
We are beginning to recognise leadership in our organisation in our customers and where their achievements are such that they inspire and encourage others we will offer them the opportunity to become "associates" who become involved in working with and leading our organisation. Soon we hope some will join as Trustees and participate in our new and exciting programmes of work, maybe some will be servant leaders….

Common Causes of a Dead Car Battery
The battery in your car is what provides the electrical power necessary to get the motor up and running. It also allows you to use the radio, power windows and other electronic accessories without running the engine. A dead battery can be extremely frustrating, but in most cases a quick jump start will have you on your way. However, if the battery dies time after time, you'll want to figure out the root cause. Here are the most common reasons a car will suffer a dead battery.
Leaving Lights On/Playing Radio
In many cases a dead battery is caused by using the headlights or playing the radio for an extended period of time while the car's engine is off. This will drain the batteries power as the alternator is not operating, which is what keeps the battery charged. If your battery dies due to a reason such as this it will be recharged after you jumpstart the car.
Door Ajar
A similar reason that a battery may die is if a door is left open unintentionally. Many cars have interior lights that will stay on if a door is opened. After a period of time this light will drain the battery.
Stuck Relay
Electrical systems utilize relay switches which are like on/off switches. If a relay becomes stuck in the on position it will continue to draw battery power, even when the engine is off. This issue can also damage the part that the relay operates.
Bad Alternator
The alternator is what recharges the battery by converting the motion of the engine into electrical power. If the alternator begins to fail you will likely experience trouble operating power options with your vehicle, notice dim or flickering headlights and experience hard starting. Many electrical failures or problems can be attributed to a failed alternator.
End of Battery Life
A car battery doesn't have an infinite life. Just like the batteries in your smoke alarm or TV, it needs to be changed from time to time. If the battery seems to not recharge after jumpstarts, its probably time for a new one. Many car batteries last between two and five years.
If you are experiencing chronic car battery issues head Lindbergh Automotive for professional car battery replacement in Atlanta. We can diagnose the electrical problem, letting you now the root cause and conduct any necessary auto repair to ensure your vehicle remains reliable. Give us a call at (404) 369-2348 to request an appointment for expert auto repair in Atlanta today.
