That food pyramid confirms my suspicions they're trying to kill us. Fruit juices, cereals, and heavily processed non-fat yogurt, canned fruits? Maybe good choices...if you're begging for a diabetic diagnosis. Oh well, I'm off to cook up my breakfast. Eggs fried in real butter. ๐Ÿ‘

Someone needs to figure out who funded this study - the money trail should be illuminating.

Expand full comment

Well, not saying that these folks funded this study, but the Seventh Day Adventist Church has been behind a huge amount of the dietary nonsense like this. Search โ€œBelinda Fetke Adventist Churchโ€ or โ€œGary Fetke Adventist Churchโ€ for many links. Dr Gary Fetke is an Australian orthopedic surgeon who several years ago was forbidden from discussing diet with his patients, after helping many diabetics avoid amputation after adopting a low carb high fat (typically animal food heavy) way of eating. His wife couldnโ€™t understand the hostility toward her husband and began digging to discover what financial ties were driving those seeking to take away Garyโ€™s license. This is what she discovered. https://thefatemperor.com/why-the-war-on-meat-find-out-here-from-dr-gary-belinda-fettke-podcast-16/

A lot of poor people in the south have supplemented their diet with watermelon. . . They're preparing us to be poor.

I looked at the watermelons in Publix last week. Whole was ~$16.00. No argument that the 'powers that be' don't have our best interests at heart, but at those prices, I question that being the 'go to' for some folks.

There is a reason people ate bacon ever day and loved into their 90โ€™s, they didnโ€™t eat processed foods. Watch a movie called โ€˜That Sugar Filmโ€™ It is entertaining while being highly informative.

They also got off the couch and worked. They ran farms and stores and did laundry by hand and walked almost everywhere they went. Of course, bacon is one of those processed foods.

Yep, my mom is 86 and eats 2-3 pieces of bacon every morning. She does like her Honey-Nut Cherios with it though. She explains that by putting blueberries and walnuts in it, she is making it healthier. ;) Thankfully, she has never had high blood sugar. When I hear what my grands and great grans used to eat here in the south (and lived into their 90's) I wonder a lot about the role genetics plays in our health.

Cheerios are full of glyphosate. She needs to get organic cereal

Expand full comment

Agreed, but that is never going to happen. ;)

Expand full comment

I love your mom's rationale for her cereal! A little bit not too healthy treat, and a lot healthy add ons! She keeps herself happy and not feeling deprived.

Expand full comment

As long as itโ€™s not causing her metabolic problems.

There are plenty of Americans who just need to deal w the deprivation of eliminating such a high sugar breakfast (all that stuff, even the blueberries, except the fat and protein in the nuts, is seen by the body as sugar) and they would lose their extra weight and reverse their pre-diabetes quickly.

This idea of โ€œnot feeling deprivedโ€ ends up depriving a lot of folks of their good health and longevity. My own mother is one of those.

Expand full comment

True. Supermarket cereals are pure junk, save British Weetabix. However, blueberries are exceptionally healthy and for that reason, I eat a handful a day..only organic.

Expand full comment

Agree that this is not healthy, but 86 she is what she is. Even on her last blood tests she is not even pre-diabetic. Must have great genes.

Expand full comment

My mother loved meat. The past few years with us, we let her indulge her passion of cooking roasts as long as they were organic. She also loved eggs and ate one a day. She also ate cheese and consumed butter as well as our go to olive oil. She also loved bread and desserts. Besides high cholesterol (a family gene controlled by medication), she did not have any blood sugar or high blood pressure. Having just passed away at 88, I am grateful that she got to enjoy the foods she loved, especially since she died of gastric cancer and could not eat much of anything for 8 months of the illness.. Life is short. Eat healthy, be a faith filled person, laugh and love, and also enjoy the little harmless pastimes that make you ๐Ÿ˜Š. My mom did all of this. May she rest in peace with our Lord. ๐Ÿ™

Expand full comment

My comment acknowledged that for her, it apparently is not causing a problem. Good genes and probably fewer toxic exposures over the course of her life.

My comment was directed primarily at the hordes of folks who think no one should โ€œdepriveโ€ themselves, when the reality is that some meaningful deprivation would solve a lot of their health problems. The problem is that for some folks โ€œa little treatโ€ every day feeds the sugar/carb addiction, and thus perpetuates ongoing health problems. My own mother is one of these people.

I feed her healthy the rest of the day, so I leave this alone. When mom is happy, everybody is happy.

I haven't read the book or seen the movie, but I deleted sugar from my diet 40 years ago because of what my body did after every Christmas season with the homemade candy and fudge and all the sugar. One of the best decisions of my life! I just turned 67 but people think I'm in my 40's or early 50's. If you want to physically age quickly, eat sugar. It has a proven track record.

Yum! Sometimes....and this is because I LIKE the taste....I'll just cook up ground beef in a fry pan, crumbled up, mix in a bit of onion, salt and pepper, and then towards the end I'll mix in a bunch of butter. Delicious. I used to eat this as a kid in the 1950s and 60s. I also have eaten eggs cooked in butter and bacon every day for probably the last 10-20 years, and I'm not overweight and I'm very healthy with no meds at 73. No way I would eat the stuff on most of their chart! The recommended items are all full of sugar, too! But the sugar lobby doesn't want its product vilified.

Been that way for 40+ years - and even that original food pyramid apparently shocked the real scientists who worked on the project. They saw the released version and it had nothing to do with what they recommended. That base layer of "grains" wasn't even close. :(

Iโ€™m not telling anyone to do this but I keep the fat from cooking my (uncured) bacon in a jar in the fridge and use that to cook my eggs (that I get from my chickens ) every morning. I have been eating butter, cheese, when I was a daily milk drinker I always used whole milk, for 30 years as an adult. Every year my cholesterol check passes with flying colors. Iโ€™ve never been overweight and I donโ€™t take any daily meds. When the whole no fat, avoid animal proteins narrative came out I just didnโ€™t buy it and went the opposite direction.

Lisa, I remember when they started the whole low fat thing - they added sugar to everything or put some chemical in place of the fat. If it says low fat, I say no thanks!

Expand full comment

Low Fat means "No Flavor" - :-)

Expand full comment

Precisely why they added more sugar, especially in the form of high fructose corn syrup (a post war Japanese science discovery from what I read, purportedly unleashed in US markets as some sort of retribution for Nagasaki & Hiroshima, because they knew both it is highly satisfying to pleasure centers in the brain and how it affects the body. Maybe on some level the flaming destruction of food factories isnโ€™t such a bad thing after all) thus the obesity epidemic. Which is a boon to our/the/their for-profit disease care system. Dot . dot . dot .

Expand full comment

Sounds like you do your research too, Het--good for you! A young man that I was allowing to rent my spare bedroom 4 years ago--told me that "big corn" is much more rewarding financially than the "big oil" cartels of decades ago! I thought he was being "flippant" at first--but after doing some of my own research--I discovered he was "spot on". I don't buy anything anymore that has "trans fats" or "high fructose corn syrup" in it--and that is very, very difficult to do. Processed food is the "rule of the day" in our country and its precisely why we have SO MUCH OBESITY and ILLNESS and DEMENTIA!!

I do the same thing with my uncured bacon drippings, and I use it to cook anything requiring grease that I'm not using butter to cook. One day I will have my own chickens too, but that requires a move out of my HOA run neighborhood.

Expand full comment

I have talked with several young people in my town (of about 11,000 residents) who have moved from a newer home or HOA setting to rural (farmette or small farm) for the explicit reason of being able to "grow our own food and have some chickens and livestock". These are kids in their 30's and 40's and I applaud their pluck. It's not easy farming - even on a small scale while earning a living in the "modern setting". But they can see what is coming down the pike and I always encourage them to share what they know with their friends and family who are still asleep (which by now--if you are asleep--it's because you WANT to be!!).

Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine are proven anti-parasitic remedies for many decades. African citizenry have used them successfully to treat malaria and parasitic infections (from poor drinking water) and a virus is, as Dr. Robert Malone has oft stated, a PARASITE....I finally was able to get a script for human-grade ivermectin 2 weeks ago and then trying to find a local pharmacy that would "fill" the script was another daunting exercise. Finally got my 5 day protocol script which I am keeping in the medicine chest and will use it when and IF I contract this human-engineered coronavirus. It gives me some "peace of mind" to have that filled script readily available!!

Sadly, the food pyramid has been messed up for ~ 40 years. It has not gotten better with time, especially as you start getting things like "ketchup" counted as a serving of veggies. :(

The huge amount of grains in that pyramid is what led to the great obesity problem. They are so dishonest in our gvt! All for self interest. The low fat trend was also totally off the mark too. I guess they never heard the ancient Greek philosophy: in all things moderation. We are a culture that does not want to embrace moderation in any behavior anymore.

Ever hear of German philosopher Johann Fichte? Chances are not! And about the only thing about him that people don't remember is that he famously said, "You are what you eat." As it is, Tuft knows nothing about 'you are what you eat' but I bet you dollars to doughnuts that they know everything there is to know about medically sanctioned grant money. And what they have to say to get it.

I think it was another famous French philosopher who said, "Let them eat Toast Wokies and Fruit Loops." But if you are worried about your medical health, it's better to forget about this advice because this kind of thing got her philosophical head chopped off. Settle instead for canned peaches, chocolate covered almonds and orange juice with calcium. Yum!

By the way, Tufts has a medical school. I bet it is an allopathic joke!

Regarding Demar, โ€œspoke coherentlyโ€??โ€ฆ Is this the telephone game weโ€™re playing?โ€ฆbtw you canโ€™t speak with a tube down your throat but you can write a note which is what I think happened unless heโ€™s been extubated but I think that would have been announced. Also, you canโ€™t just wake up unless they let you by slowly reducing sedation meds to bring him out of sedation to see how he does, if heโ€™s aware, can communicate by blinking, grip hands, or write a note.

It took some intense listening to realize it was his dad who said that the first thing Damar will say when he can speak, is "who won the game"? Also I noticed that the Bills were going to have a press conference and when I clicked on it showing the reporters waiting, a notice ran at the top that Damar had "passed away" and it was horrible. I had just been listening to another guy talking about how he was waking up etc. Suddenly the video was shut down. I still feel like this is a heavy handed controlled story. But maybe there will be a miracle at the end of it for the actual humans. * Update: 4 PM I just heard Drs in a presser saying that after they removed the breathing tube and he asked "Did we win?" this doctor said, "Yes you won. You won the game of life." (Insert face palm emoji.) These guys are having a real problem getting the narrative straight.

Kind of like that nurse who passed out on live TV following the shot - Tiffany Dover. No one has seen her live anywhere since, and her social media accounts, once active, are barren of any posts since that day. Got curious about this last week and did some digging. Some sketchy websites proclaiming her dead, and some saying that is misinformation. But weird she has not had one press conference since the episode. You'd think with all the internet chatter, the vaxxers would trot her out to prove that those saying she is dead are wrong. So she either changed her name and went into hiding or something bad happened to her.

There's a big difference between questioning what we're told and immediately going to ridiculous explanations. So what's their long-term plan here, to prop him up in bed and bring in a ventriloquist? Maybe clone a body double?

I question everything also, but that doesn't mean dreaming up absurd explanations to buttress wild conspiracies with zero supporting evidence. That's as bad as people who unquestionably accept everything.

A prayer-driven miraculous recovery is far more plausible than this is all made up. Perhaps they are overstating his level of recovery, but anything beyond that is wild speculation with *nothing* to support it.

The entire team is in on the conspiracy, okay. Maybe it's like Weekend at Bernie's.

I mean, I understand heโ€™s on a breathing machine but I thought that was essentially life support, not because his lungs were damaged.

My thoughts exactly. Has no one in the media asked these questions? I guess that was rhetorical...

Expand full comment

Itโ€™s possible his lungs could have been damaged during surgery and/or the vent was turned up all the way because he was still struggling for air. This happened (still donโ€™t know what caused it definitively) to someone very close to me. Had an aortic dissection, nearly died. He was extubated but couldnโ€™t breath on his own so was re-intubated. By the third day, the vent on full power the last resort was ECMO. He was on for 8 days. Drs were sure he would need rehab, never be the same, etc. He went home a week later ๐Ÿ™

It is rather miraculous. There were a lot of people praying. Upon re-reading my comment, the point was to say the lung story may not be bologna and the confusion around it could be real.

I watched a livestream hour-long press conference from UC hospital yesterday afternoon with two of his doctors. They said Damar is not talking because he has a tube down his throat, but he wrote on paper asking who won the game. The doctors answered lots of reporters' questions, but you can tell the narrative is being carefully controlled. They totally avoided addressing WHY a healthy young athlete could possibly have had a heart attack like this. They emphasized that they are focused on the immediate present, not the future, in regards to his recovery. Also, the reporters asked very repetitive questions, which is not surprising.

Iโ€™d like to know if heโ€™s still on the ECMO?

Bringing him out of sedation a little to test him neurologically is normal and it sounds like he responded by squeezing hands and writing a note, then they resedate him and start trying to lower the life support measures to see how his body responds to sustaining itself...if possible. Itโ€™s still a really long way to go but if he truly responded then itโ€™s hopeful.

Expand full comment

When you run the numbers on Berenson's paid subscriber substack revenue alone he's pulling in over a million a year. Adding on top of that there are book sales and the secret twitter settlement (which people donated to fund). He's got quite a little enterprise going.

I have nothing against people making a living, I've got a job myself after all. But when people turn their activism, and other people's good-faith support of their cause, into a money making scheme, it's a huge red flag. There are plenty of them supposedly on our side on this issue besides Berenson. Dr Malone (who I've admired) is also making big bucks of his substack and only allows paid subscribers to comment`.

First it's an idea, then a movement, then a business, then a racket. The more widespread something becomes the more likely it's turned into a racket in my experience. Be careful where you send money.

Expand full comment

Yes, I quit Malone's stack as well as the 'paid subscribers only' comment restriction rubbed me the wrong way. I too agree that people need to make a living but there's a fine line between getting compensated for one's time and efforts, and feigning advocacy and public service but it really being just about the Benjamins. There's a local talk radio guy I really like, was one of the few early 'not getting the shot' advocates and was just a 'regular guy' kind of voice but did his homework. It's landed him a bigger audience these days and now he constantly shills his podcast, and his new substack that is subscriber only. Teases 'exclusive' commentary and the like. I'm not nearly as big of a fan today. I don't begrudge his success, but I do think ego does strange things to people.

The last time I checked, Berenson only allows paid subscribers to comment as well.

Whatever you think of Malone, I lost all respect for Berenson when he attacked Malone on Tuckerโ€™s show; a bushwhacking that had nothing to do with the topics being addressed. It was petty.

Berenson comes across as arrogant, rude, and narcissistic; a real turn off.

I subscribed to Berenson initially because of his crusade to expose the Covid fraud, but I came to dislike him after his unrelenting trashing of Ivermectin/ Hydroxychloroquine, his diving into political issues which promotes his very left leaning ideology, and the undignified public attack on Malone. Often comments he receives on his Substack are less than flattering, sometimes hostile, because of this (the Malone thing, his stance on Ivermectin, and his views on politics.) I think a lot of previous admirers of Berenson have become disillusioned with him. I have.

As someone who also bills by the hour (but not a lawyer) I understand being compensated for his time. And he is not outrageous about the 'ask', dropping it in every other paragraph and such as some do.

What bugs me about him is his smug refusal to listen to people with experience in a field who tell him what theyโ€™ve seen and concluded. Like his wife regarding cannabis users and Dr Kory and others about ivermectin. I mean, at least give them credit for being more experienced and attuned to what is going on. His insistence on RCTs being done before he believes ivermectin is effective is very narrow minded and short sighted. He doesnโ€™t seem to understand that no one will do an expensive RCT for an off patent cheap medication. His refusal to take Tess Lawrieโ€™s meta analysis into account is also extremely frustrating.

Well if the jab is an effective depopulation tool and the majority of jabs have been taken by the democrats then Trump may have executed the greatest purge of marxist demons in history.

It is laughable to think the democrats are marxists. They all support wall street and war, big pharma, etc. Both sides do, including yes Trump. This is the system, no matter who is in charge.

Today is the day to finally sort out changes for an agreement. The Dems only need six Republicans to do a back room deal and put Hakim Jeffries in the Speakerโ€™s seat.

Anyone who thinks the Dems are not trying to pull that off is mistaken. 218 is the number.

Obviously the Dems are REALLY REALLY WANTING a D'mRepub to continue their agenda. Of course.

What the Republican party needs is a good THRESHING and that can only be done by a strong dividing wind.

While I truly pray that this young man (Demar Hamlin) makes a full recovery...there is just something about this story that reminds me of the bizarre Anne Heche incident.

Like some previous posters wrote...one of my first thoughts was that you cannot speak with a breathing tube in your airway. Also...if heโ€™s been in a medically induced coma, he wouldnโ€™t just spontaneously โ€œwake upโ€ unless they began weaning him from the meds (I believe). Then, the report that the first thing he said was โ€œwho won the game?โ€ also seems quite bizarre. The man died (twice was reported)...I believe that he might ask โ€œwhere am I?โ€ or โ€œwhat happened?โ€ IDK.

One last thing...it was reported that his uncle said he had to be revived a second time in the hospital...then that was recanted (why?) and shutdown from the media...again, my internal truth meter is off the charts like a 7.0 earthquake on the Richter scale! I hope that my โ€œfeelingsโ€ are wrong and Mr. Hamlin recovers fully!

Expand full comment

Just like the media to paint a false picture and expect we are too stupid to put 2 + 2 together and get 4.

You bring up legit scrutiny. Iโ€™m withholding all my celebratory comments until we actually see or hear from Mr Hamlin directly. Until then this is all media BS, again.

Expand full comment

Agreed... Cโ€™mon... awake... writing?!?!? Hamlin was put on ECMO...extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.... blood is pumped outside of the body to a heart and lung machine allowing the heart and lungs to heal... conditions ECMO is used is: Heart attack (acute myocardial infarction), Heart muscle (decompensated cardiomyopathy), Inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis)...myocarditis... myocarditis.....plus being put into a medically induced coma (?!?) neither of which a patient can just spontaneously wake much less write!?! Geeez itโ€™s been awhile since I practiced nursing in the CCU and ICU, under a renown Ohio cardiac surgeon... idk... maybe lots and lots and lots has changed and there are miracle unicorn meds and miracle unicorn med beds and instant revival hyperbaric chambers not a available โ€œback in the dayโ€..... oh cโ€™mon... really!?!? I call highly coordinated media complicit organized for the public B...S.... this is more like the NFL and governments need to coverup their forced mandated killing shot version of the movie DAVE!!!

Expand full comment

I agree. When I heard he was on ECMO that quickly and that his young and healthy (allegedly) heart had been refractory to defibrillation, as a former ICU nurse I told my husband, โ€˜heโ€™s not going to make it.โ€™ And now heโ€™s awake and speaking?! Iโ€™ll believe it when he holds a press conference.

Interesting question.

Ambulances are mostly private companies in our state, and every state has different laws about what are emergency, police and tow truck lights colors.

Maybe NFL has their own??

I really want Damar Hamlin to be ok. And I love how so many have put aside differences and come together to pray for another human being. I want it to be true, but something feels off...orchestrated. I know it's cynical, but why do I feel like some of these folks are angling to save the Super Bowl (because it's what Hamlin wants/do it for Damar)?... and that whatever bad news might come won't until after they "save football" and tidy up the narrative?

Expand full comment

Again, I was thinking the same thing. Billions of dollars are at stake with the NFL, and that's not counting sports gambling. I'm thinking we'll get little snippits of "good news" about Damar until the SB is played. Then who knows. The NFL has to placate the players and the masses for the time being. Just my opinion.

Can we take a moment to realize what an amazing victory it is that the mainstream media is knocking itself out shouting "the jabs did not make Demar almost drop dead" ? A year ago it would have been us shouting about jab injuries and them ignoring us. This year it's "Me thinks he doth protest too much." Last week Rasmussen found that 49% of Americans think the jabs may well be killing people? I bet you 10 shares of Tesla stock that this week it's over half.

Damar Hamlin would surely have passed if he'd been a normal schlep that collapsed from his heart stopping, like the thousands that already have. Many in their sleep.

But he had top quality medical staff just feet away that defribbed him and kept him breathing until he could be stabilized.

For anyone else? They'd be gone now.

I know the other vaxxed NFL players and all the fans that saw this have got to be quite concerned for their own health.

It is laughable. All the Supremes have to do is declare Joe Biden and pretty much all of Congress traitors, and they can do that by simply ruling for Brunson and their proposition that the Oath of Office comes with a "treason" clause.

If that doesn't sound crazy, you may've been sleeping during 8th grade Civics class.

And, as Jeff has tried to point out, the Brunson's haven't "achieved" anything on the merits of their claim, in fact they've been denied at every step of the way.

The only thing they've "achieved" is to properly file a petition for a writ of certiorari - a case to review a lower court. It hasn't been ruled on in any way. The Supreme Court has not reviewed the petition at all - that's what the Friday conference was for: to informally vote on WHETHER OR NOT to hear the case.

That's it. That's all they've "achieved" - the filing of a case.

On Monday, the Supremes will reject the petition along with all the other fruitcake petitions filed by flat-earthers, UFOologists, and other nuts who wasted thousands of dollars to ask the Supreme Court to do what it has no power to do.
