The CDC's bogus study

The Washington Times ^ | 2-28-05

About a year ago, the Centers for Disease Control issued a highly publicized report stating that obesity-related health problems kill 400,000 Americans every year -- an "epidemic" second only to smoking in causing preventable deaths. The story was big news. A host of outside skeptics, however, such as the Center for Consumer Freedom, questioned the findings, and their efforts eventually forced the CDC to admit that at least part of the study was flawed. Now, despite even more critical evidence, the CDC says its mistakes don't matter.

the only thing worse than a liberal is the spawn of one----- the bottom feeding bureaucrat.

the 'second-hand smoke' thing sounds like something johnboy edwards dreamed up. there has NEVER been a single conclusive study to prove it.

"Why does the taxpayers have to pay for a study that any person who has ever been overweight know for themselves? "

Do I hear a public school education ping here?

Never let truth interfere with one's agenda.

Maybe we shouldn't be believing anything an agent of the state tells us about medical matters.

I heard some very interesting things on talk radio this morning concerning an oxygen/ozone treatment and the amazing curative it is for viruses as well as such things as Strokes. Does anyone here know anything about it?

Word is that the Drug Companies have squashed news of it because it's easy and cheap..no drugs involved.

Apparently the whole world knows about it including that third world cesspool, Cuba.

IT's a mixture of 98% oxygen, 2% ozone. It can be administered in different ways...not thru air passages, however.

First chance I get, I'll try to Google and search it out. It sounds incredible. It basically cleans the blood of toxins and viruses. It is only administered thru Natural medicine outlets here in the US.

For strokes, it must be done within 2 days of the stroke..the sooner the better.

Here's some more proof that they want to kill us all with their bogus lies:

The American Medical Association will KILL You!

Last year JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) admitted that doctors are the third leading cause of death in the U.S. Personally, I think the statistics are on the low side. I wouldn't be surprised if they're the leading cause (remember that old saying, "doctors bury their mistakes." And those mistakes often don't make it into the records. I've seen it.

53,000 deaths caused from second hand smoke?

The anti-smoking zealots believe they can get away with saying or doing anything if the subject is smoking. This proves they can't if we remain vigilant.

The lawmakers promise up the moon to get our votes, then once in office, they could care LESS about their constituents.

Oh, no! In the case of the decline and fall of CDC, the politicians are giving their constituents exactly what they want-junk science, crusades, and PR.

GREAT post......theres so much bureaucratic BS in this issue

its disgusting.....plain and simple

I have a friend that is a Cancer research scientist. He was carpooling with another research doctor who was working on the saccharine theory and as he was complaining about the effects of artificial sugar on cancer he was puffing on one cigarette after another. I guess it all lies in the researcher's own belief of what is bad and dangerous for our heath.

I have come to the conclusion our government is clueless on what a proper diet is. The put out this food pyramid that neglects the most basics of a good diet. A good diet should eliminate:

-saturated fat
-trans fat
-simple carbohydrates (High-Fructose Corn Syrup, white sugar, etc.)

Should include:

-protein
-complex carbohydrates and fiber
-polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats.

That probably is oversimplified, but it is a heck of a lot better than what is taught our kids. If America concentrated on those simple guidelines, we would be a heck of a lot healthier and thinner than we are now.

"A good diet should eliminate:"

Sounds like The Zone.

Why do taxpayers subsidize cheese for the poor, with its high fat content? Why not just give them a single-shot gun to kill themselves with?

The CDC hasn't had any credibility since the onset of AIDS and its refusal to apply quarantine laws to a fatal communicable disease of unknown origin.

I heard something and have been trying to find it.  But I'm not having much luck.

[Always Right]

Sounds like The Zone.

Lots of diets include similar recommendations, including the Abs Diet, the Makers Diet, etc... It's very sound advice.

This is nothing.  You should read the real truth behind the Pharmaceuticals.  You want disgusting???

Well, I expect they'll retract this when they retract all of the bogus second-hand smoke "studies". And that will be about the time hell freezes over.

Sorry, but dogma, from any source, is still dogma.

One size fits all is evidence of a mental straightjacket, often resulting is pure bullshit!*
