<In 1965, a representative of Procter and Gamble told the American Heart
Association to change its Diet/Heart statement, removing any reference to
the trans fatty acids. This altered official document encouraged the
consumption of partially hydrogenated fats. In the 1970s, this same Procter
and Gamble employee served as nutrition chairman in two controlling
positions for the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute's Lipid Research
Clinic (LRC) trials and as director of one of the LRC centers. These LRC
trials were the basis for the 1984 NIH Cholesterol Consensus Conference,
which in turn spawned the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP).
This program encourages consumption of margarine and partially hydrogenated
fats, while admitting that trans should not be consumed in excess. The
official NCEP document states that "...coconut oil, palm oil, and palm
kernel oil...should be avoided..."
In 1966, the U.S. Department of Agriculture documents on fats and oils
talked about how unstable the unsaturated fats and oils were. There was no
criticism of the saturated fats. That criticism of saturated fat was to
come later to this agency when it came under the influence of the domestic
edible fats and oils industry, and when it developed the U.S. Dietary
Guidelines. These Dietary Guidelines became very anti-saturated fat and
remain so to this day. Nevertheless, as we will learn later in my talk,
there has started some reversal of the anti-saturated fat stance in the
works in this agency in 1998.>
Very interesting The link between industries , medical experts and
governement agencies.
It remind me that i din't let paleo poples knows about the book that my wife
just finished writing and published. Diaper Free "The Gentle Wisdom of
Natural Infant Hygiene
http://www.natural-wisdom.com a paleo way of dealing with infants
eliminating needs
You don't see the link? just read this passage extracted from Diaper Free
< in fact , the entire toilet training PEDIATRICS Updated Review is
sponsored by The Proctor and Gamble Company. Proctor and Gamble is the
largest producer of disposable diapers (Pampers) and related products in the
world.
Not surprisingly. Dr. T. Berry Brazelton sits on this auspicious roundtable.
Coincidentally, his famous article on toilet training appeared within the
year, That Pampers, the first disposable diaper in the world, hit the market
( after 6 years in the design process)...
...Brazelton and Pampers have become one , and Proctor and Gamble is now
sponsoring the litterature of the American Association of Pediatrics. Two
facts
which must make it difficult to maintain an unbiased, objective viewpoint
with no interest besides children's health.>
Eh! it looks like Proctor and Gamble is specialised on selling SHITTY
informations to the public and buying reputable scientists or dictating
their view point to officials.
It will be interesting to know this corporation's other centers of interest
.
May be they are in thefish oil or cod liver supplement business too.
Any way if you want to bypass the "need " for diaper and raise your children
without fattening Pampers or other diaper business , "diaper free" will
empower you to do so .
the price of this book equals 5 days of disposable diapers, i week of diaper
service or 1 and half week of home laundering . good investement considering
the recommended prolonged use of diapers by the experts in pediatric.In fact
it can make you save the 2000 dollars in disposable diapers necessary to
keep your child dry until he learn to use the potty.
Are you telling me we can survive without vegetal oils or diapers?
