(D) Heart disease prevention [ even during Covid] remains a worthy public health focus, because heart disease is our number one killer (after Covid has receded), which links strongly to what we eat.

 

It's our own American Heart Association that says the American Diet is "Death on the Installment Plan."

 

There are references, here, that everyone should read. It's your decision, of course! In my opinion, no adult or parent, should fail to read what Dr. Joel Fuhrman has to say. Coronary occlusive disease prevention and its cure are within your control in the vast majority of patients, if his advice is followed. As always, the decision rests with you. 

 

Former cardiac surgeon, Dr. Steve Gundry has made some exciting investigations of what has happened to our fruits and vegetables as a result of soil depletion from industrial agriculture.

 

The science of weight loss is rapidly changing, as well, and with over 50 percent of Americans now overweight, obesity is a public health enemy, linked to heart disease and diabetes.The exciting development is that the roots and herbs/olive oil consumed by cultures with exceptional long lives have an effect on the number and kind of fat cells in your body. Early reports by users look promising, but these aren't FDA sanctioned medicines. Instead, they are part of 'diet and vitamins,' which we call supplements. 

 

We all need to look at what researchers are finding. Again, you decide. Let me observe that I also worked as a Cardiac anesthesia doctor, and the work of Drs. Gundry, Fuhrman, and Dr. Oz should be reviewed. This is simply a reflection that people who care have watched nice people die from what they consume.
