Avoiding Sudden Death Due to Cardiac Arrest
A recent study by University Clinic of Schleswig Holstein in Cardio Clear 7 Review Germany, published in the European Heart Journal, reviewed treatment of more than 25,000 patients with a high risk of heart disease. It concluded that only half of than number were given the right lower cholesterol targets by their GP. High cholesterol increases the risk of death by heart attack and stroke.
Another myth propagated by the dairy industry and others is that milk is a good source of calcium. It is not. The processing of milk reduces the absorbability of calcium to an insoluble form that the body cannot process. Phosphorus in milk also adds to this inability of the body to absorb the calcium. Interestingly, adults who drink a lot of milk have been found to have higher instances of osteoporosis than those who do not.
Studies by the Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research show that pasteurization destroys the vitamin A, around 38 percent of the vitamin B complex, and about 50 percent of the vitamin C content of milk. In addition pasteurization destroys an anti-cancer metabolite that is found in raw milk. Dr. William Ellis stated that it has been his observation over 42 years and 25,000 blood tests on patients that those patients who drink a lot of milk show an inability to absorb many of the nutrients the body needs to stay healthy. Further, it has been found that a lack of certain nutrients can lead to chronic fatigue.
It wasn't until about 1932 that the pasteurization and homogenization of milk became common practice. Heart disease has been on the rise in recent decades and these and other studies conducted over the past 20 or so years have now concluded that these processes can be directly linked to heart disease, atherosclerosis, and arteriosclerosis.
