"GIGANTIC" MEDICAL STUDY PUBLISHED IN THE PRESTIGEOUS NEW ENGLAND MEDICAL JOURNAL PROVES THAT EUROPE'S DIET - AND NOT ITS SOCIALIST HEALTHCARE SYSTEM - IS WHY THEY HAVE LONG LIVES

About 30 percent of heart attacks, strokes and deaths from heart disease can be prevented in people at high risk if they switch to a Mediterranean diet rich in olive oil, nuts, beans, fish, fruits and vegetables, and even drink wine with meals, a large and rigorous new study has found. 

The findings, published on The New England Journal of Medicine’s Web site on Monday, were based on the first major clinical trial to measure the diet’s effect on heart risks. The magnitude of the diet’s benefits startled experts. The study ended early, after almost five years, because the results were so clear it was considered unethical to continue. 

The diet helped those following it even though they did not lose weight and most of them were already taking statins, or blood pressure or diabetes drugs to lower their heart disease risk. 

“Really impressive,” said Rachel Johnson, a professor of nutrition at the University of Vermont and a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association. “And the really important thing — the coolest thing — is that they used very meaningful endpoints. They did not look at risk factors like cholesterol of hypertension or weight. They looked at heart attacks and strokes and death. At the end of the day, that is what really matters.”

AMERICANS HAVE A COMPARTIVELY LOUSY DIET, AND AMERICA HAS AND MUCH MORE ETHNICALLY HETEROGENEOUS POPULATION THAN EUROPE - A POPULATION WHICH INCLUDES MANY ETHNIC GROUPS IN RELATIVELY HIGH PERCENTAGES (AS COMPARED TO EUROPE) WHICH HAVE SERIOUS GENETIC DIATHESIS FOR DISEASES WHICH GREATLY REDUCES LIFESPAN FOR THEIR ETHNIC GROUP AND FOR AMERICA AS A WHOLE.

SO.... WHEN LEFTIST POLITICIANS TELL YOU THAT EUROPEANS LIVE LONGER BECAUSE OF THE SOCIALIST HEALTHCARE SYSTEM THEY ARE JUST PLAIN WRONG.

TOTALLY EFFIN WRONG.
