I noticed that on the following paragraph:

levated triglycerides in the blood have been positively linked to proneness to heart disease, but these triglycerides do not come directly from dietary fats; they are made in the liver from any excess sugars that have not been used for energy. The source of these excess sugars is any food containing carbohydrates, particularly refined sugar and white flour.

You need to add an E at the start. It is like adding saturated fat to your diet. Or is it? The corrected paragraph is:

Elevated triglycerides in the blood have been positively linked to proneness to heart disease, but these triglycerides do not come directly from dietary fats; they are made in the liver from any excess sugars that have not been used for energy. The source of these excess sugars is any food containing carbohydrates, particularly refined sugar and white flour.

Keep in mind also that the meat they were eating was without a doubt the commercially available meat that was fed grains. I you eat good grass fed beef without all those hormones and antibiotics, then you probably won't have a cancer issue. Lets face it, Native Americas ate Buffalo whenever they could get it, and weren't dropping like flies from cancer. The American Indians health decline started when they started eating the white mans diet.

I Just don't understand why articles like this one- news.yahoo.com/.../us_red_death_4 - keep coming out. I states that "The quintile who ate the most red meat had a higher risk for overall death, death from heart disease and cancer than the men and women who ate the least red meat." Will someone please explain whose "science" is flawed?

Thanks, all.
