Big surprise - more "plant-based" gives us a bag of shite.

quote:

Deaths from heart failure, one of the nation’s biggest killers, are surging as the population ages and the health of younger generations worsens.

The death rate from the chronic, debilitating condition rose 20.7% between 2011 and 2017 and is likely to keep climbing sharply, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal JAMA Cardiology.

The rapid aging of the population, together with high rates of obesity and diabetes in all ages, are pushing both the rate and number of deaths from heart failure higher, the study said. Most deaths from heart failure occur in older Americans, but they are rising in adults under 65, too, the study showed.


But don't fear:

quote:

“We need prevention” to address heart failure, said Keith Ferdinand, a preventive cardiologist and professor of medicine at Tulane University School of Medicine, who also wasn’t involved in the research. That includes putting more people at risk of heart failure on blood-pressure medication, and more use of a class of diabetes drugs called SGLT-2 inhibitors that have been shown in recent research to lower the risk of heart failure.


That's right. Everyone just take statins!

While I think of everyone took a statin as a whole we would be much healthier as a society, I don't believe that is the answer.

One of the biggest things that will help people is to replace as most of the carbs as they can afford to lose performance wise with mct oil. Supplement with curcumin and drink 5oz of 100% pomegranate juice daily.

I posted all the supplements to take to really help all of the major organs.

SGLT-2 Just got a class one indication, meaning is advised to prescribe for all diabetic patients. From what I hear all it does is make you Piss out the carbohydrates you eat, mimicking a low-carb diet.

It was a cheap dig, admittedly, but it's hard to argue that there hasn't been a vast uptick in veg/vegan shite over that same time period.
