Yesterday I was on ABC radio. The Heart Foundation CEO was on after me. She did not acknowledge any of my concerns re margarine and vegetable/seed oils being highly inflammatory and linked with heart disease. She spouted the same old rhetoric. When talking about dairy she said its an excellent source of calcium (not true) and vitamin A and D. She neglected to acknowledge that these are fat soluble (and therefore unable to be utilized if not consumed with fat). She also said that milk was a good source of FIBRE. Yes. Fibre. There is no fibre in milk. This is a foundation not only giving terribly damaging heart healthy advice on their website but also filtering it through GPs, cardiovascular surgeons and hospital recommendations. It actually terrifies me. I just cant understand how they can continue to refuse to acknowledge the science and current research. If they refuse and will not change despite the 50+ thousand signatures (hopefully 100k by Tuesday). I honestly think there needs to be a class action. They need to be held accountable. They have a chance here to say ok. We got it wrong. We revise. But they continue to refuse!!! Its extremely frustrating for not only myself but many health professionals, scientists, researchers and members of the community begging for change. Please Heart Foundation. Look at the research. Australians deserve better. One death every 12 minutes from heart disease in this country is not a good enough statistic.
