There is a new FDA proposed rule on the requirements for a healthy food label on a product. As you can easily see from the figure above, most Americans don’t come close to a healthy diet. A majority don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables, exceed the limit for added sugar and saturated fat, and take in too much sodium. The current healthy labels on our foods are out of date and misleading. The new healthy label does not limit your ability to eat anything that you want. It does make the healthy label more meaningful.
About mild artery disease, have you looked at The Fat Emperor's video on reversing heart disease. I remember that a key thing was to eat lots of sauerkraut (fermented food, actually). I've just looked at my file on interesting videos and will paste in the info:
A single cup of sauerkraut has 1500 mg of sodium. This is not something that patients with heart disease should be eating. This is a perfect example of the point that I am trying to make. Anyone can put forward a medical idea, but so much of it has no root in science.
I went to the link and watched the video. The podcast is about the heart artery calcium score that is a great test. It is an effective screen for heart artery disease. Calcium is a marker for the presence of uncalcified soft, inflamed cholesterol deposits that rupture and cause a clot that kills you. Stabilizing the cholesterol deposits prevents heart attack and optimal medical therapy stabilizes those deposits. Ten times as many patients with a history of heart attack die in usual care compared with those who are on optimal medical therapy over a five year period. There is proof optimal medical therapy works. There is no proof that eating sauerkraut while taking magnesium along with vitamins D and K wkill protect you from having a heart attack. There is scientific proof that some treatments work. Those are the treatment we should rely on.
Great to hear. Thank you for watching. You clearly know your stuff!! Then I remember following the links relating to this video, and learning how the search started, and in fact tracking how heart disease had been reversed in people. Do you know anything more? Also very good to know that the test recommended is in fact a good test.
The dangerous soft inflamed cholesterol deposits that rupture can be stabilized and become smaller in weeks with optimal medical therapy. If you have heart artery disease on a calcium score, begin optimal medical therapy immediately. This entire site and all the links exist to help you understand this treatment so you can protect yourself
Well who allowed the crap in our food in the first place? Remember these are the same people that said eat margarine instead of real butter and corn oil and a myriad of other things that are truly unhealthy over the years. After what we have gone through and now know that the FDA and the CDC are bought and paid for why would any sane person trust their judgement when it comes to nutrition. Aren't they also the same people that are approving all the franken food being funded by Bill Gates. Gees, people wake the freak up. Follow their own advice if you want and oh yeah be sure to get your babies their COVID injection.
I see that you identify yourself as a conspiracy theorist on Substack. This site concerns scientific research, evidence, data, facts and the truth about medicine that helps Americans live longer healthier lives. These federal agencies regulate food policy and labels. Any time they are making recommendations that are more in keeping with the medical facts and science, we should applaud them and encourage them in that direction. I understand the science and evidence. I am delighted to see the FDA moving closer to it. That is important for every American. This is not a politial site and your political comment is inappropriate here.
This is a site for serious scientific information. that exists to provide people like you with valid information about your medical care. If you take the trouble to read it, you will see that I don't hesitate to take on the medical establishment when it is appropriate. I am happy to discuss any topic based on science, evidence, and facts. It is not for politics and it is not for opinion.

Ivor Cummins - where the biggest prescription was loads of sauerkraut daily (and other fermented foods): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4RipKub_Y8&t=1s

The last people in the world we should be taking health or dietary advice from is the FDA, HHS, CDC, WHO. They would prefer us dead not
healthy.
Can you tell me what specific information in the article you find objectionable?
Thanks Alice. That is a great question.
You’re welcome. I see that the commenter has not done me the courtesy of replying to me.
I noticed that.

In other words agree with you or don't speak. You are a disgrace and glad you are not my doctor.
