Having a Big Butt may protect you from heart disease & diabetes

A new review published by researchers at the University of Oxford and Churchill Hospital in the United Kingdom suggests that people who carry their body fat in their thighs and backside aren't just carrying extra weight, but also some extra protection against diabetes, heart disease and other conditions associated with obesity.

"It is the protective role of lower body, that is [thigh and backside] fat, that is striking. The protective properties of the lower body fat depot have been confirmed in many studies conducted in subjects with a wide range of age, BMI and co-morbidities," the researchers write in the most recent issue of the Journal of Obesity.

"f you're going to have fat, you're definitely better off if you've got some fat in the lower body," said Dr. Michael Jensen, director of endocrine research at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. "If you look at people who have primarily the pear shape, they're healthy in all the ways that this fat behaves. It's not just less heart attacks or less diabetes, it's all these ways we think about fat as an important organ for our health."

Although this makes for a good laugh I don't think these scientists made a good case.
The research has some flaws...Particularly the way they determined butt size by measuring hip circumference.

Aspirin linked to Eye disease

If you listen to your stupid doctor's advise you might end up blind. A new study conducted by the University of Sydney  found an association between regular aspirin usage and Macular Degeneration.

While there is no doubt that aspirin has the ability to prevent you from getting a heart attack, is that really the wisest way to do it? I think that there is something wrong with the idea of using a drug to maintain your health. All pharmaceutical Drugs are toxic and need to be processed by the bodies poison control center...The liver. You are putting a heavy burden on your liver everytime you take a pharmaceutical drug whether its prescription or over the counter.

There are smarter stratgegies out there that I would use if I was worried about my cardiovascular health.

The first thing is obviously to eat a better diet & exercise

I would take a multivitamin and add additional  Vitamin C, Magnesium , Selenium, Vitamin K, Omega 3 fatty acids, CoQ10, Vitamin E, and chromium.

I would use these at their theurapeutic dosages which are well above the RDA's.

* This is my opinion and what I would do for myself based on the research I have done, I am not a medical doctor (thank god) nor are these statements approved by the FDA.

Throw Away Your Non Stick Pan !!

Teflon, the material used for non stick pans is bad for your health.
Throw it out !!

Why?

When Non Stick Pans are heated they release perfluorinated compounds. These fumes have been reported to kill birds !!

"The birds die abruptly, usually shortly after new non-stick pans are heated for the first time."

Even The makers of Teflon, Dupont have admitted that when Teflon is highly heated its fumes can KILL BIRDS !!

"Bird owners should be aware that there are potential dangers in the kitchen. Cooking fumes, smoke and odors that have little or no effect on people can seriously sicken and even kill some pet birds, often quite quickly.  Also cooking fumes from any type of unattended or overheated cookware, not just nonstick, can damage a bird's lungs with alarming speed. "

Even though the fumes emitted from Teflon can kill birds the makers of Teflon say it is "Safe" for humans to inhale when normal temperatures are used to cook food.

At extremly high temperatures (1,000 degrees F) which can be reached by stovetop drip pans
the non-stick coating breaks down to PFIB, which is a known chemical warfare agent and analog of the WWII nerve gas phosgene.

Recently Teflon has been linked to heart disease, thyroid disease, low birth weight, and oxidative dna damage.

Do you really want to be cooking with this nasty stuff?
Cooking with organic food and high quality ingredients goes to waste when cooking in Teflon pots and pans.

What should you cook with?

I personally have thrown out my Non stick pans and replaced them with stainless steal. This is the new cookware set that I bought.
